What we're all about...
Cowpath Farm Festival features performers of a variety of genres (various rock styles, jazz, turntablism, edm) from across the Midwest. Set on the lovely Kerns Farm in St. Paris, Ohio, this show brings the Ohio music scene to a beautiful rural setting with Midwestern hospitality and charm.
We set out to bring a variety of music styles to a rural setting for audiences rural and urban alike to enjoy. We believe that beautiful music deserves a similar setting.
Farm Festival History
The Cowpath Farm Festival was born of the mind of Harry Stratton in 2023 as a response to a lack of rock music events in the Mad River region. 3 years later, the Cowpath Farm Fest is becoming a local staple for live music. Initially focusing on rock music, the fest has branched out in the past years to feature different jazz and electronic styles as well. We have featured artists such as: Pickpocket, Thank You Wendy, Riot Baby, A Rise And Fall Of A Dilapidated Home, and Kamikaze Relief Fund, showing a commitment to experimental music and DIY values.
