I met Arcy Drive in 2022 while they were on their first tour, and we connected right away. I’ve followed their journey since, and it felt like the right time to document their background just before they played Gov Ball. With the band growing up on Long Island not far from the festival, the show carried a real hometown weight that made it worth capturing. Thank you to Turtlebox for supporting this project and seeing the value in spotlighting small artists.
