For those looking to see some great music this upcoming Labor Day weekend, Adirondack Independent Music Festival (‘ADK Fest’) is the place to be. Returning for its ninth year, the festival will once again take place at the beautiful Charles R. Wood Festival Commons in Lake George.
Headlining this year’s festival will be Upstate New York jam band moe., who will perform two sets each night on Saturday and Sunday. Hailed by American Songwriter for their “mind-bending musicality,” moe. is treasured for their mesmerizing musical synergy, unfettered showmanship, and smart, resonant songcraft. For three decades, the band has corralled myriad musical forms on a truly original journey rich with crafty, clever songwriting and astonishing resourcefulness. Fueled by an impassioned fan base, moe. has spent much of those thirty years on the road, encompassing countless live performances marked by eclectic wit, deep friendship, and exploratory invention.
The other festival headliner, Melvin Seals & JGB, will be performing two sets on the opening night of Friday. Melvin Seals has been a powerful presence in the music industry for over 30 years, with a long-established reputation as a performer, recording artist and producer. Melvin is most revered for his powerful, high-spirited Hammond B-3 organ and keyboards in the Jerry Garcia Band. Melvin spun his B-3 magic with the Jerry Garcia Band for 18 years and, in doing so, helped pioneer and define what has now become “Jam Band Music.” From blues to funk to rock to jazz, Melvin Seals serves up a tasty mix with a little R&B and gospel thrown in to spice things up. Continuously on the road with his band JGB, featuring John Kadlecik, John-Paul McLean and Jeremy Hoenig, Melvin Seals continues to spread the music of Jerry Garcia Band and more.
The stacked lineup will also feature performances by GRAMMY-nominated progressive bluegrass act Yonder Mountain String Band, Twiddle frontman Mihali, whose band also features Twiddle members Zdenek Gubb and Adrian Tramontano, and Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime.
Food and craft vendors will be available on the grounds, with the beautiful Lake George sitting as a backdrop to everything. All ages are welcome to attend, and children 12 and under are free for general admission. Visit here for tickets and more information.
