RSTB presents Deep In The Valley 2023 
Last year’s inaugural Deep In The Valley Fest brought together a cross-section of musical genres with a common thread of experimentation and exploration. The roster exemplified the current crop of Cosmic American travelers, and this year that tradition continues. Returning to From The Ground Brewery, nestled on Migliorelli Orchard in Red Hook, NY, the festival this year boasts a packed roster of RSTB faves. Food will again be provided by Hudson Valley’s own Gracie’s with an on-site record fair by Bash and Pop.
The event will feature country-flecked garage from Chicago’s Glyders, whose recent debut for Drag City imprint Country Thyme has been a favorite around here all year. Berlin-based songwriter Ned Collette has long found his way into the pages of the site with a folk formula dipped in cinder and ash, he’ll be joined at the fest by Elisabeth Fuchsia on viola, and Massachusetts’ own Gold Dust brings a tender strain of psychedelic folk to the festival. Sunwatchers psych-scratched jazz promises to match the burn of the August sun, while longtime favorites Weeping Bong Band (featuring mems of Pigeons and Wet Tuna) will help soothe the burn with a sunset sojourn. Garcia Peoples promise to push the boundaries of the cosmic careen, always in their element in the live setting. 75 Dollar Bill leave the big band behind for an intimate and heady duo set, and Ryley Walker will toast the early evening with a trio performance featuring Andrew Scott Young and Ryan Jewell, reprising their recent trio setup. I’m beyond thrilled to present this event and hope that you’ll join me for a day of deep jams Upstate NY.
