Named one of “fifty essential summer music festivals” by The New York Times, the Green River Festival is Western Massachusetts’ signature summer event. The festival is a spectacular celebration of music and community: a world-class lineup of over 40 acts on four stages, the best in local food, beer and wine, handmade crafts at The Makers Market, a wide array of kid’s activities, and camping. NPR recently wrote, “The Green River Festival lineup gets more legendary by the year.”

The Philadelphia and Los Angeles-based band Mt. Joy has made their mark with three acclaimed albums over the past six years, featuring multiple singles that have gone #1 at AAA radio and amassed millions of Spotify streams. “Mt. Joy’s songs unfold like good political speeches: They amble and converse and pulsate fervently until it’s time to get the crowd chanting along.” – NPR

A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist, Courtney Barnett is an emblem of millennial wit and one of Australia’s most successful musical exports. Garnering a coveted Best New Artist Grammy nomination and numerous other accolades, her 2015 debut album Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit stands as a generational classic. Barnett followed her debut with 2017’s Lotta Sea Lice, an acclaimed collaborative record with Kurt Vile, and has since released three more albums: Tell Me How You Really Feel (2018), Things Take Time, Take Time, (2021), and End of the Day (2023).

Katie Crutchfield, who performs under the moniker Waxahatchee, is one of the hardest working singer-songwriters in the game. While her sound has evolved from lo-fi folk to lush alt-tinged country over six critically-acclaimed albums over a decade, her voice has always remained the same: honest and close, poetic with Southern lilting. On her new GRAMMY-nominated album Tigers Blood, Crutchfield emerges as a powerhouse–an ethnologist of the self–forever dedicated to revisiting her wins and losses. The lead single, “Right Back to It,” is a nod to country duets like Gram and Emmylou, winding over a steadfast banjo from Phil Cook. Together, Crutchfield and MJ Lenderman (also on the 2025 festival lineup) harmonize on the chorus, with Lenderman contributing guitar throughout the album.

Southern indie-rock wunderkind MJ Lenderman was a 20 year-old guitarist working at an ice cream shop in his hometown of Asheville, NC while self-booking tours for himself or the band he’d recently joined, Wednesday, when he recorded his third solo album, 2021’s Boat Songs. Suddenly, people were paying a lot of attention to what Jake Lenderman might make next… The resulting album, Manning Fireworks, is an instant classic of an LP, his frank introspection and observation finding the intersection of wit and sadness and taking up residence there for 39 minutes. Yes, the punchlines are still here, as are the rusted-wire guitar solos that have made Lenderman a favorite for indie rock fans looking for an emerging guitar hero.

Singer-songwriters Julien Baker & TORRES recently released the debut single, “Sugar in the Tank,” from their new project, shifting their sound from indie-rock to country. Julien Baker’s solo material, noted for her personal lyrics and vulnerable delivery, has gradually expanded its arrangements from spare piano and guitar to add keyboards, a rhythm section, and more by her third album, 2021’s Top 40-charting Little Oblivions. She’s also drawn critical acclaim as one-third of Boygenius, a group she formed with Lucy Dacus and Phoebe Bridgers in 2018. TORRES’ raw vocals and insightful lyrics incorporate folk, electronic, and rock. Her most recent album, What an Enormous Room, was released in 2024.

Kevin Morby has released seven acclaimed solo albums and a myriad of collaborative works (including his previous work with Woods, The Babies, and Waxahatchee). His singular vision, evocative lyrics, and aptitude for catchy, dense songwriting has placed him firmly among the ranks of modern icons. This Is A Photograph, Morby’s latest album, finds him making an Americana paean, a visceral life and death, blood on the canvas outpouring. The creatively invigorated songwriter has managed to align his finest songs, best vocal performances, most incisive lyrics, and his most lush arrangements to date.

The lineup also includes generational talent Danielle Ponder‘s soulful mix of trip-hop, blues, pop, R&B and alt-rock; instrumental trio LA LOM with their marriage of cumbia, soul ballads, and classic romantic boleros; Jamaica’s conscious revolutionary reggae/hip-hop lyricist Kabaka Pyramid; Colombian psychedelic funk trio BALTHVS, indie-folk duo Ocie Elliott; roots music icon and Western Mass favorite Kathleen Edwards; Futurebirds with their progressive mix of rock & roll, electrified folk, and cosmic American roots music; “tenderpunk” act illuminati hotties on the heels of their 2024 release Power; self-produced Philadelphia indie-rock band Mo Lowda & The Humble; 18 year-old award-winning guitarist, songwriter, and bandleader Grace Bowers, who’s experienced meteoric rise since the release of her debut album last year; Reyna Tropical‘s musical exploration of the tropical diaspora; Signature Sounds Recording artist AJ Lee & Blue Summit and their energetic, charming, and technically jaw-dropping roots music; bilingual multi-instrumentalist and Carolina Chocolate Drops alumna Leyla McCalla, whose solo work is inspired by her Haitian heritage and her adopted home of New Orleans; and much more.
