Marco Benevento has revealed the slate of artists set to appear at his curated Follow The Arrow Festival, set for Saturday, June 29th, 2024 at Arrowood Farms in Accord, NY.
Per tradition, the Joe Russo’s Almost Dead keyboardist will fill out a sizable chunk of the lineup. Benevento will perform three sets throughout the day: a headlining performance with Phish bassist Mike Gordon, a solo set with his eponymous trio, and a Benevento Family Band set.
Beyond his own performances, Marco will go international for his third annual festival. Brazilian psychedelic rock progenitors Os Motantes will perform in addition to resurgent Zamrockers W.I.T.C.H. (We Intend To Cause Havoc) from Zambia, Africa. Follow The Arrow will also present domestic genre-fluid live force Ghost Funk Orchestra, with Brooklyn singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Sam Cohen serving as a special guest.

Benevento debuted Follow The Arrow (named for a song from his 2016 concept album The Story of Fred Short) in 2022 in conjunction with the Royal Potato Family record label and Impact Concerts. The intimate, family-friendly event takes place just outside his longtime home base of Woodstock, NY and over the years has hosted rare performances from The Slip and Benevento’s own Surprise Me Mr. Davis as well as sets by Marco’s friends and collaborators Rubblebucket, Antibalas, Scott Metzger, and more.
Up next for Benevento is a local gig at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock where he will stage a two-night album release run for his double live album Barn Burner: Live At Levon’s, recorded at the late The Band drummer’s barn venue. For tickets and a full list of tour dates visit Benevento’s website.
