Eastbound Throwdown

Eastbound Throwdown The Eastbound Throwdown will take place September 5th & 6th 2025 on Irwin Farm in Salem, NY

09/20/2025

Sometimes a setting just feels right for a show and the Irwin Family Farm, nestled among the rolling hills between Salem and Greenwich, fit the vibe of Eastbound Throwdown like a glove. The sun hung over the stage and began its descent, eager to hide behind the scenic hillside treeline. The parking lot was filled with campers lounging out, playing games, or setting up gear and some told me that they arrived in the morning hours before the gates officially opened.

We always feel so lucky when we think about the community of music fans the Throwdown brings together! Thanks to all of you for another weekend of the best vibes, good times, and long lasting memories. It seemed like there were a lot of new faces this year too, to the newcomers - we appreciate you giving it a try and hope to see ya next time! 10 years for a little independent music festival is no small feat and we couldn't do it without all of you that return year after year. Seeing hundreds of the same smiling faces roll up to check in every year makes the Throwdown feel like a big family reunion. Thanks for the continued support and being the best crowd around! Tag your pals if you see them in these photos!

⭐ SATURDAY BAND RECAP⭐
From start to finish what a musical treat Saturday was. Dan kicked things off solo this year, followed by The A.M.s and Zan + the Winter Folk from Troy that despite the rain put on awesome sets. By the way, we're real proud of all of ya that suited up with rain gear and even put up some ez ups so you didn't miss a single set! We were happy to welcome some members of Cabinet back with Treesap, equally excited we finally got Tigerman Woah! back after years of many requests, and loved every song of Forest Station's Throwdown debut. The energy was high for a stellar EBJ set, and then with the return of Blind Owl to close it out... Wow! 🔥🤘🏻🎶

Let us know if you had any favorite musical moments from the day! Be sure to follow all these bands so you can keep up to date with what they've got going on!

☀️FRIDAY BAND RECAP☀️
What a day! Every band was so damn good! A great mix of long time friends of EBJ and the festival, and some out of town acts that definitely made unforgettable first impressions and gained lots of new fans. We lucked out with perfect early fall weather too, all sunshine and cool breezes. 🍂

Any favorite sets, songs, moments from Friday!?

Follow all these artists, listen and support them when you can!

...Just like that 10 years have flown right by. THANK YOU to everyone who has ever been a part of the Throwdown over the past decade, it's a pretty incredible thing we've all built together. What is usually a cow field turns into its own little pop up world for 48 short hours, and it goes by way too fast. As always every musician on stage gave a great performance, as always you respected the farm and each other, and as always we're real thankful you keep wanting to do this with us year after year. We're already feeling inspired to break into our second decade next September, and we hope you'll continue on this ride with us! More thoughts and photos to be posted throughout the week!

After 10 years of the Throwdown some things are really starting to feel like tradition... like BBQ chicken dinner Saturday evening from the Scouts, and a Saturday morning set from our bud .

This guy can write a damn fine song, and he always brings a crew of super talented musicians to share the stage with. Grab yourself some breakfast and a coffee and get down to the stage by 11am on Saturday as he kicks off a long day of amazing artists.

What started as a couple of under-employed friends learning songs off the American Anthology of Folk Music has become a locally celebrated brotherhood dedicated to making music that moves people into mosh pits and onto picket lines.

Ever since played the Throwdown a few years back, they've been one of our most requested bands to ask back. So, here ya go! Saturday 5pm, rain or shine they'll be roarin' onto the stage.
