Five Stages of Music and Entertainment!
Again this year, the legendary Clearwater Festival is proud
to present a rich and diverse mix of contemporary,
traditional, American Roots and international music, dance
and storytelling.
With an exceptional roster of outstanding local, national
and international singer/songwriters, performing artist and
bands.
On five performance stages, including a story grove with
nationally renowned storytellers all weekend, and a large
tented dance floor with classic Ska Reggae, Jam Rock bands,
Swing, Bluegrass, Zydeco, Cajon and Latin, a workshop stage, and
a main stage. Discover new music, performers and musicians.
NEW! Circle of Gospel, a unique performance concept by
Pete Seeger, Circle of Gospel, reflects Clearwater’s ongoing
efforts to diversify its musical offerings and encourage
audience participation.
Three gospel groups will take center stage simultaneously
under a large tent, with three audience groups facing them.
Each choir will take turns singing, with the other choirs and
audience members responding to their refrains. The singing
will “circle” the tent for the entire program.
Many of the musicians and artists performing at the
Clearwater Festival generously contribute their appearances,
with all proceeds from the Festival benefiting the
non-profit environmental organization, Hudson River
Sloop Clearwater.
All stages are powered with 100% sustainable energy that
includes solar and bio-diesel. Sound is provided by Klondike Sound.
