Even before Newport Jazz kicked off 65 years ago, summer has been a time to enjoy great music in the great outdoors. While younger fans may flock to places like Boston Calling, Governor’s Ball, Coachella, or Lollapalozza, for the past 30+ years, one of the best places to do this has been right here in MA. And on the weekend of July 12-14, Signature Sounds will once again present the Green River Festival (www.greenriverfestival.com) on the campus of Greenfield Community College in Greenfield, MA.
“What makes this festival special is the sort of size and scope of it,” observes Jim Olsen who cofounded Signature Sounds (www.signaturesounds.com) in 1995. “While we have this amazing music line up…we probably have half the crowd of [others] which allows us to be more user-friendly and allow people to get up close and see the performers. The site is also beautiful on its own and as we do not pack it out and make it family friendly gives a real celebratory feel to it!”
