ric robertson band

His soft Southern voice, Zen-like lyrics, and boundless creativity make him a sought-after touring bandmate for artists such as The Wood Brothers and Rhiannon Giddens.
dori freeman
Hailing from Galax, VA, we are delighted to welcome Dori Freeman to her first performance in Geneseo. Dori has sharpened her vision of Appalachian Americana over five studio albums. From the country traditionalism of her self-titled debut to the amplified folk of Ten Thousand Roses, it's a sound that nods to her mountain-town roots even as it reaches beyond them. Freeman continues creating her own musical geography with Do You Recall, the songwriter's most eclectic — and electric — record yet.
public water supply
Public Water Supply is Rochester, New York’s premier Alt. Rock/Indie Americana act. PWS consists of six university-trained musicians, blending distinctive songwriting, spectacular vocals, and incredible instrumentalists. The band has been seen on Fox Rochester, WXXI Connections, and Opening Tunings. PWS has performed in the Rochester Lilac Festival, Borderland Music Festival and Estival Festival.The group has boogied their way across the Northeast, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and New England states. PWS will pack a punch in 2024 as they tour their second album, General Strike.
flying object
Flying Object is song based, lyric driven, electrified psychedelic rock n’ roll from borther Matt and Chris O’Brian (GPGDS/THUNDER BODY), Mike Martinez, and a revolving cast of superstar guest flyers. No two shows are alike with the simultaneously fluid and fully formed Flying Object. Expect their first full length record in Autumn of 2024.
adrianna
noone
Adrianna Noone is an indie/folk/americana singer-songwriter born and raised in Rochester, NY. Her songs tell tales of love and heartache, blending indie and rock with a slight yankee twang. She formed her band at the start of the pandemic in 2020 and has since played at the Rochester Lilac Fest, Party in the Park, Buffalo’s Thursday & Main, and Babeville. At 25, she has sung with Brandi Carlile, opened for Lyle Lovett, and continues to tour the northeast and Midwest solo, with her band, or previously as 1/6 of the Rochester-based band Public Water Supply.
