Momentum Series: Driftwood

Upstate NY folk-rock band that blends Americana roots, soulful harmonies, and high-energy rhythms into a dynamic & heartfelt live show.

Hailing from Upstate New York, Driftwood brings their genre-blending sound to Caffè Lena for an unforgettable evening of music that’s equal parts heartfelt and high-energy. Known for their roots in folk, bluegrass, and rock, the band’s live shows are a celebration—dynamic, intimate, and brimming with joy.

With Joe Kollar, Dan Forsyth, Claire Byrne, and Joey Arcuri at the helm, Driftwood showcases a unique, collaborative approach to songwriting. Expect soaring harmonies, electrifying instrumentals, and stories that resonate deeply with every listener. Whether they’re delivering hard-driving rhythms with blazing energy or stripping it all back for a raw, emotional ballad, Driftwood's live show feels like a shared experience—something honest and unrepeatable.

Their latest album, December Last Call, marks a creative homecoming for the band, blending powerful new sounds with the live energy they’re so beloved for. From foot-stomping anthems to hushed, poignant moments, Driftwood creates a show that feels personal and communal—a place where everyone belongs.
