Taj, Arlo, Richie, et al to honor Pete at Clearwater Festival
The schedule for the Clearwater’s 2009 Great Hudson River Revival, which will take place on Saturday and Sunday, June 20 and 21 at Croton Point Park in Croton-on Hudson, NY bluesman Taj Mahal, contemporary blues star Susan Tedeschi, renowned Sixties era troubadour Arlo Guthrie and “newgrass” sensations Old Crow Medicine Show.
The Clearwater Festival will be celebrating a number of auspicious occasions this year, including the 40th anniversary of the launch of the sloop Clearwater, the 90th birthday of the legendary folksinger, and Clearwater founder, Pete Seeger and the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage up the river on the Half Moon. Fittingly, new festival director Jon Dindas invited back a number of longtime folk-centric Clearwater favorites, like Guthrie, Richie Havens, Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, Rik Palieri, Linda Richards and Rick Nestler, to share the festival stages along with a bevy of top acts and musical artists who will be making their first appearance at the festival.
“Honoring tradition while looking toward the future has always been a major part of the Great Hudson River Revival, and it was my intention to create a lineup this year that would appeal to all kinds of people interested in great music and environmental awareness,” said Dindas.
Among the festival first-timers this year are veteran vocal group The Persuasions, indie pop-rock bands Dr. Dog and Elvis Perkins in Dearland, New Pornographers frontman A.C. Newman, acclaimed singer-songwriters Alejandro Escovedo and Allison Moorer and bluegrass/jamband Cornmeal.
Pete Seeger will be performing at various junctures during the two-day festival, as usual, and his grandson (and frequent collaborator) Tao Rodriguez-Seeger will also be playing a set with his new band. Irish dance band MacTall Mór, the Sleepy Hollow String Band, Mike & Ruthy Merenda, the Dirty Stay Out Skillers, Dan Einbender, Gillen & Turk, Hope Machine, Evy Mayer and Melissa Otqusit and Sarah Underhill round out the initial lineup. More performers will be announced in the coming weeks.
