The show in Nyack will feature over 20 music acts of varying styles from amongst the rank and file of NY-based and national touring bands. Rowell's Manhattan-based group, The Baghdaddios, will serve as the function's host. Among the many named artists who have appeared at past Blank-Fest shows: Patti Rothberg (EMI), Buddy Cage (Grateful Dead), Marc Rizzo (Soulfly) and Meg Griffin (Sirius Radio). Also included are Hudson Valley local favorites such as international touring artists Joe D'Urso and Stone Caravan and newcomers Fallen Innocence, who have already committed to this year's show.
