Having grown up in a musical family in Petaluma, California, Ben Morrison made a name for himself over the past 15 years as the frontman of Bay Area bluegrass band The Brothers Comatose. But for Rivertown Revival, Morrison is putting together a special band of musical friends including members of T Sisters, Lester & Dylan Chambers and more, to embody the old spirit of country and the contemporary soul of rock and roll to close out the Barn Stage on Saturday evening.
