Higher Ground and GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS are pleased to announce two afterparties, a new addition to the schedule, and Grand Point Local, the all-local food fair that will serve the Grand Point North Festival.
RICH ROBINSON JOINS FRIDAY’S LINE-UP:
Rich Robinson’s talents are already familiar to the millions of fans who’ve embraced his work as guitarist/songwriter/co-founder of the Black Crowes. While his certain
examples of his solo work embody the ballsy, rootsy crunch that put Robinson’s former band on the map, others encompasses a more thoughtful, introspective side, as well as an unmistakably adventurous and unique sonic vision.
