*** Click HERE for 2009 band schedule ***

July 16th to 19th 2009. Our favorite festival of the year - the 19th annual Fingerlakes Grassroots Festival has announced their lineup. Donna the Buffalo has been hosting the festival for 19 years to raise money for the fight against AIDS and other worthy causes, provide regional and national exposure for excellent local musicians, and expose the local and regional music lovers to excellent national and international artists.

The festival is presented over a four day period (Thursday-Sunday) on four stages which run ridiculously long hours to accommodate the 60 some bands that play the festival. The band selection reflects the eclectic tastes of our ‘amorphous committee’, a difficult to nail down group of musicians and artists who lean toward roots related & world music. GrassRoots doesn’t hesitate to bring you great music you’ve never heard of before.

Every year wonderful new bands are discovered and presented along with many old and true friends.
