"The Green River Festival is Western Massachusetts' signature summer event. For one weekend every July, Greenfield Community College hosts an outrageous celebration of world class music, great local food, beer & wine, a handmade craft fair, and lots of family games and activities. We top it all off with four hot air balloon launches and a spectacular Saturday night balloon glow."
The Green River Festival announced their initial lineup this year and its looking really good! Here's what they've announced so far (via their website):
Friday, July 14th:
The Mavericks Big Al Anderson
Saturday, July 15th:
Lake Street Dive Houndmouth Pokey LaFarge Amadou & Mariam Darlingside Sam Fermin Big Sam's Funky Nation John Brown's Body
Sunday, July 16th:
Joe Russo's Almost Dead The Funky Meters The Infamous Stringdusters Mandolin Orange Chicano Batman Robbie Fulks
Sunday seems like a no-brainer for me - I've wanted to see JRAD and The Funky Meters are great. I've also heard great things about the Infamous Stringdusters and Mandolin Orange. I'm excited to see who else they'll add, it's looking good so far!

Yeah I might do Sunday. Chicano Batman is another great one. JRAD are headlining right?

JRAD is the headliner - and Jeff Chimenti will be playing the keys with them that day (found that on JRAD's Facebook)

Regarding Saturday's lineup, I do find it a bit awkward that they have a photo of Houndmouth with Katie Toupin with them - but didn't she leave the band last year? I saw them at the Newport Folk Festival and really enjoyed them, but without her I'm not sure how that affected their sound. I missed Pokey at Newport Folk, I believe there was a scheduling conflict with another artist I had wanted to see, so that's pretty cool. I hear Lake Street Dive is great live too.
The next round of artist additions will be announced on Thursday, per the rep I spoke with on Facebook today.
My personal wishlist:
Gary Clark Jr.
Margo Price
Robert Randolph & the Family Band
Chris Robinson Brotherhood
Blackberry Smoke
The Record Company
Black Joe Lewis
J Roddy Walston and The Business
We'll see though!
My prediction is Dispatch. They are playing eastern MA weekend before (only other MA date) and would make sense for them to play western MA this weekend. Chad is from MA and right now tour "ends" the Sunday before in Philly. Pete just posted on social media that he won't be touring with them due to personal reasons so I think something is going to be announced this week about more shows.

I'm pretty sure they announced that Levitate Festival would be their only MA date of the tour. Saw about Pete. A bit of a bummer but everyone's gotta watch out for their health

That's 100% correct - I believe Levitate themselves said it would be the exclusive MA date for their tour.
Depending on who they announce tomorrow I'll either get a Sunday-only pass or a weekend pass. Saturday looks pretty good with Lake Street Dive, Pokey Lafarge and John Brown's Body, but I'm not sure how Houndmouth will sound without Katie in their lineup anymore. Houndmouth put on a great show in Newport, but I don't know if it'll be the same since she left..
Gotcha. I didn't realize they were only doing one MA show. They would be perfect for this festival. Maybe they are going to be at NFF since that's close in proximity and they have no other New England dates? Anyone think Dave & Tim could be a possibility? That would be even better.
Haven't really heard of too many of these artists..I'm leaning more towards a Sunday-only pass to be honest. From some research, I'm really digging River Whyless, Parsonsfield and Kat Wright & The Indomitable Soul Band. Rachael Price & Vilray will be cool too - this is turning into a smaller NFF, to be honest (not a bad thing!)

Officially bought my ticket to the Sunday, July 16th day of the Green River Festival! I'm really looking forward to a lot of the bands on that day - I feel that day is stacked! It'll be my first time seeing JRAD and pretty much everyone else except for The Funky Meters, who I saw back at Gathering of the Vibes in 2013 I believe.
One band I'd like to highlight on the Sunday, July 16th lineup is Chicano Batman, who has been getting a lot of attention lately:
