FreshGrass Is Bringing the Funk Back to Bentonville

If your playlist’s been feeling a little meh lately, we’ve got just the thing to shake things up. FreshGrass is back at the Momentary on May 16–17, and it’s not just another concert—it’s a whole dang vibe. Think of it as a big musical hug wrapped in banjo strings, bass drops, and barefoot dancing.

🎤 What’s the Scoop?

This isn’t your average stage-in-a-field situation. FreshGrass Bentonville is a two-day, family-friendly festival packed with American roots music, global flavor, and artists that’ll have you texting your group chat like, “You need to hear this right now.”

We’re talkin’ sets from Shakey Graves, Lukas Nelson, Béla Fleck, Rosanne Cash, AJ Lee & Blue Summit, and more artists than we can list here without turning this into a scrolling marathon. There’s also a FreshGrass commission world premiere by Willi Carlisle and a band contest with serious bragging rights.
