Strangefolk Revives Garden Of Eden After 6-Year Hiatus

Strangefolk will reunite to perform at their Garden of Eden festival at Vermont’s Jay Peak Resort on August 22 and 23, 2025. The two-day event marks the first Strangefolk shows and Garden of Eden since 2019.

The original Strangefolk lineup — guitarists Reid Genauer and Jon Trafton, bassist Erik Glocker and drummer Luke Smith — will play two sets each night. Additionally, the Seth Yacovone Band kicks off the festivities on the 22nd and Pink Talking Fish supports on the 23rd.

Strangefolk was formed in Burlington, Vermont in 1992. Garden of Eden made its debut in 1996 in Eden Mills, Vermont and evolved into a multi-day celebration of music, community and the Green Mountain State. Jay Peak hosted installments of the event from 2016 through 2019. A 2020 edition was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Performances will take place at Jay Peak Resort’s Stateside Amphitheatre. Tickets are on sale now via the resort’s website.
