    Overview

    The Bedford Music Festival brings a full day of live music and local energy to Westchester’s most beautiful grounds. Grab food and drinks from local vendors while your kids stay busy with activities designed just for them. Pack your lawn chairs and gather with your neighbors for a celebration that’s as much about the community as it is about the music. It’s your Sunday to settle in, soak up the atmosphere, and experience a very special day of music, right here in your backyard.

    In addition to the great music, attendees will get to enjoy exploring Caramoor’s grounds and its collection of sound art, Sonic Innovations. The weekend closes out the summer long Focus Tour of Inside Lucie’s Wardrobe in the Rosen House. Attendees can get a final peek at some of the pieces in the free Open House of the Music Room, or book a tour to see the full collection.

    About the Artists

    Formed over two decades ago, funk luminaries The Motet have learned to work as an interlocking unit, with each member bolstering one another towards the best creative output. This symbiosis has led to a unique style and cohesive musical chemistry, as seen in the band's immaculate live performances and seamless blend of funk, soul, jazz, and rock. With a fervent fanbase in tow, The Motet have sold out shows across the nation, performed seven headlining slots at Red Rocks and sets at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Bottlerock, Electric Forest, Bumbershoot, Summer Camp, and High Sierra.

    But even after their 20+ years of accolades and recognition, the legendary outfit - composed of Dave Watts (drums), Garrett Sayers (bass), Drew Sayers (keys and saxophone), Ryan Jalbert (guitar), and Sarah Clarke (vocals) - are still exploring new sonic ideas and finding new ways to showcase each other’s skill sets.

    The band released their 11th studio album, Love Time, in November 2024, their first with vocal powerhouse Sarah Clarke in tow.

      Jamie McLean Band creates a musical gumbo that incorporates New Orleans soul, middle Americana roots, Delta blues and New York City swagger. Jamie McLean Band is a triple threat. The group’s energetic and captivating live show is undeniable. McLean’s fiery guitar has joined the ranks of Derek Trucks, Gregg Allman, Aaron Neville, Dr. John and more on stages from from Madison Square Garden to Japan’s Fuji Rock. His blue eyed southern soul vocals ooze real emotion. And his top line songwriting chops have crafted profound, honest and heartfelt songs that will keep you singing along, dancing along and feeling like the song was written about you.

      Jamie McLean Band is touring behind a fantastic new album “One Step Forward” on Harmonized Records. The album was recorded at the legendary Grand Street Studios in Brooklyn NY and features the band’s strongest and most mainstream songwriting to date. It also marks the return of original JMB member Jon Solo on keyboards! “Summer of Who Knows When” is an immediate summer anthem. “Calendar Girl” and “New York Penny Lane” are musical love letters. And the band kicks into full gear on “Too Little Too Late” and “I Believe In Love”!

      The live show is where Jamie McLean Band excels and the band has shared the stage with the likes of Gregg Allman, Aaron Neville, Dr. John, Taj Mahal, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Trombone Shorty, Los Lobos, Blues Traveler, Marc Broussard and many more. Jamie Mclean Band has appeared at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Mountain Jam, Targhee Fest, Okeechobee Fest, Ottawa Blues Fest, Quebec City Summer Fest, and Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam to name a few. McLean has also enjoyed the sponsorship of Gibson Guitars, Fuchs Amplifiers, D’Addario Strings, Blue Microphones, John Varvatos and Esquire Magazine.

        Summer Fling is a seven-piece band based in New York City, blending funk, soul, pop, and jazz into a groove-driven sound and exhilarating live show.

        Founded by vocalist Eddie Kam and saxophonist Grant Tucker, the band creates high-energy, communal performances powered by a three-piece horn section and a foundation in jazz and musical theater. Their shows are tight, dynamic, and built to keep audiences engaged from start to finish.They perform constantly across New York City and the Northeast, with recent appearances at Mr. Purple, Stephen Talkhouse, and the Elements Music Festival.

        Their goal is simple: to make it count while it lasts—and leave people with something they won’t forget.

         

          Founded in 2014 by independent concert promoter Peter Shapiro and educator Amy Striem, The Rock and Roll Playhouse is the largest national kid-friendly live concert series having performed to hundreds of thousands of kids and their families. It has hosted over 1,000 shows in more than 35 leading live music venues across the United States, filling the void for shared musical experiences between parents and children across the country.

          Performing songs created by the most iconic musicians in rock history, The Rock and Roll Playhouse band offers its core audience of families with children aged 1-7, games, movement, stories and most importantly an opportunity to rock out. It allows parents to enjoy the music they love while little fans are encouraged to explore their creativity and have fun!
