HELL’S KITCHEN — A new music festival is bringing the sounds of Americana to Hudson River Park.
Alt-folk band Deer Tick, Brooklyn-based artist Anaïs Mitchell and folk singer Margo Price will perform for free this Saturday, July 16 at Hudson River Park’s first Hudson RiverStage Festival on Pier 97, the park said in a release.
Blues singer Breanna Barbara and Chrome Pony — helmed by siblings Tyler and Kyle Davis — are also on the lineup.
“In its first year, Hudson RiverStage offers locals and tourists an opportunity to take in beautiful views of the Hudson River while enjoying the sounds of local and international recording artists, and bites from local food vendors,” a release said.
“These ‘Americana’ artists merge the classic American sounds of acoustic roots and folk traditions into a contemporary rock sound,” the park’s website added.
A schedule of performers and times can be found on the park’s website.
The festival doors open at 2 p.m.
Pier 97 is located at West 57th Street, past the West Side Highway.
