Borderland Festival, one of Upstate New York’s most popular music and art festivals, is set for September 15th-17th at Knox Farm State Park, just 15 minutes from downtown Buffalo. This three-day festival, celebrating its fifth year, centers around bringing together more than 20 bands to perform improvisational and collaborative jam sessions on 2 stages.

On a cold and windy night in New York City this past Wednesday, a boisterous crowd gathered between the warm walls of Manhattan's Bowery Ballroom for a show that would bring boundless energy and positivity.
