HAWLEY, PA —Americana-rock-roots and new-grass band Driftwood plays the underground theater, Harmony Presents, inside the Hawley Silk Mill at 8 p.m. on Friday, August 21. “Driftwood is truly a gem of a band. They’ve been compared to The Lumineers, The Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons, but I think they’re even more magical. Their stage presence and showmanship alone will knock you off your feet… and then you get hit with their astounding musicality and soul-igniting songwriting,” says Jill Carletti, managing director of Harmony Presents. “There’s a reason people won’t let them off the stage,” says Jess Novak from The Syracuse New Times.

After the release of their Debut CD “Rally Day” in 2009, the band has spent most of the last five years on the road. With club and festival appearances alongside of artists such as Bela Fleck, Old Crow Medicine Show, Rusted Root, Del McCoury, Brett Dennen, The Wailers, Railroad Earth, Robert Randolph, Rubblebucket, Leon Russell, Emmylou Harris and Donna the Buffalo, Driftwood is making serious waves on the East Coast scene. In the last three years they’ve played over 500 shows.
