Driftwood

Music has guided Driftwood to hallowed ground many times since its founding members, Joe Kollar and Dan Forsyth, started making music as high schoolers in Joe's parents' basement. Whether the Upstate New York folk rock group-which includes violinist Claire Byrne, bassist Joey Arcuri, and drummer Sam Fishman-are converting new fans on a tour across the country or playing to a devoted crowd at hero Levon Helm's Woodstock barn, the band's approach to folk music continues to break new ground.
