A Psych Ambient Daydream: A festival of expressionistic instrumental & experimental sounds from the tri-state area
Record Crates United and Prototype 237 proudly present A Psych Ambient Daydream, a festival of expressionistic instrumental & experimental sounds from the Tri-State area— an immersive celebration of music, art, and community.
Live Performances by:
Join us for a full day of music, community, and creative energy. A Psych Ambient Daydream is more than a concert, it’s an invitation to experience the Tri-State region’s cosmic improvisational and experimental music scene, and discover new sounds in a cozy and inspiring environment. From dreamlike guitar soundscapes to prog jazz-fusion and acid rock jams and beyond, this sonically diverse lineup is guaranteed to be a journey for the musically adventurous.
Beyond the stage, local food vendors, independent merchants, and interactive elements, like a “take something, leave something” table, will add flavor and color to the day, creating an atmosphere of sound, taste, and discovery.
