(CROTON-on-HUDSON, N.Y.) – Gospel legend Mavis Staples, folksinger Judy Collins, country icon Kris Kristofferson, roots musician David Bromberg and blues-rockers Hot Tuna headline this year’s edition of Clearwater’s Great Hudson River Revival, which takes place Saturday and Sunday, June 15-16, 2013, at Croton Point Park, N.Y. Also on the bill are R&B sensations Sharon Jones and Dap-Kings, Americana rockers Son Volt, Drive-By Truckers, bluegrass stars the Travelin’ McCourys, jam-band artists Steve Kimock and Keller Williams, Afrobeat stars Antibalas, Bhangra brass outfit Red Baraat, Native American artists Buffy Sainte-Marie and Joanne Shenandoah, roots-soul vocalist Martha Redbone, and, of course, the living legend behind the whole festival, Pete Seeger, will also perform, among others.

Founded by Pete Seeger and nurtured by over a thousand dedicated volunteers, the event embraces the changing, increasingly hip, locavore, and eclectic spirit of the Hudson Valley. The festival’s other guiding light is changing the way people relate to the river, and to the environment and community in general. Along with prominent names on stages, the festival has an artisanal food and farm market, juried crafts fair, roving performers, traditional storytellers, an activist area, and a chance to ride on river craft like those that have traversed the Hudson for centuries. All in one two-day, zero-waste, bio diesel- and solar-powered festival in lush Croton Point Park, to support the mission of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc, one of the nation’s preeminent environmental organizations and a key mover in promoting policies to restore the Hudson to its former, teeming glory.
