RELIX-----Earlier this week, at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, U2 received the 2025 Woody Guthrie Prize. Bono and The Edge made their way to Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa to receive the award, which honors the spirit of folk icon Woody Guthrie.
One of Guthrie’s closest friends was Pete Seeger. So with this mind, here’s a look back at the 2025 Hudson River Music Festival, via a piece that appeared in the July-August issue of Relix.

Iconic musician and activist Pete Seeger founded the Great Hudson River Revival—aka the Clearwater Festival—during the late 1960s in order to clean and protect the Hudson River and surrounding waterways. Over the years, the event drew over a half million people to Croton Point Park in Croton-on Hudson, N.Y.. The 2019 edition celebrated the 100th anniversary of Pete Seeger’s birth, but then COVID interceded the following year and the festival began an extended hiatus.
