Driftwood

In a post-modern world of skyscrapers and handheld computers, Driftwood looks beneath the concrete and circuitry to find their sound. Using acoustic instruments, a scrap wood kick box, clapping hands and stomping feet, Driftwood breaks down barriers between old and young, rockers and folkies alike.

Hailing from the post industrial town of Binghamton, NY, Driftwood is one of the brightest new acts to come out of the Upstate music scene. Formed in 2006 by what was first a simple collaboration between two friends bent on traveling the country playing folk music, they have turned into one of the hardest working bands in the business, sometime squeezing 2-3 shows into a single day!

In June of 2009, Driftwood released its first full length recording, a 10 song, self produced LP called "Rally Day". 2010 marked the busiest year so far for Driftwood as they embarked on their first national tour, taking them all the way to San Francisco and back. They also managed to squeeze in many Summer festivals in Upstate, NY, including the prestigious Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance. Finally, Driftwood has just recorded their second CD at 3-egg Studios in Brooklyn, NY and are anticipating an early Summer Release.

With over 700 total shows at clubs, colleges, festivals and countless street performances they have gained a dedicated fan base throughout New York and New England.
