“This festival is built on love, memory, and music, said festival founder Lorrie Griggs. "Bert believed in bringing people together, and Drifter Fest is my way of continuing that energy in his honor.”

Continuing the fest’s mission of supporting community causes through music and connection, This year’s nonprofit benefactor is Rock ’n Roll Rescue. This Lowcountry nonprofit is dedicated to providing children access to music education by supplying instruments and resources that foster creativity.

Drifter Fest celebrates the life of the late Bert Griggs, whose love of live music inspired the creation of Drifter Merch, an apparel and accessories brand influenced by his favorite bands. Beyond music, Bert was a devoted father, husband, son, brother and friend known for his kind heart, infectious smile and ability to make everyone feel welcome. He never met a stranger and left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
