Our charming RIFF bandana features a guitar-playing Mermaid and her sailor and sea creature audience! It was designed and drawn by musician/artist DAN BLAKESLEE! Dan is renowned for his music AND his artworks which adorn everything from show posters to Heady Topper beer cans! It's been a delight to work with him on the design of this bandana to celebrate RI Folk Fest's 10th year! The beautiful mermaid playing an acoustic guitar to a sailor and sea creatures is a perfect scene for our festival held at Crescent Park on Riverside, Rhode Island's beautiful waterfront!

Printed on the same 100% organic, super-soft cotton you've experienced with the Ocean Devotion Bandana, The 2023 RI Folk Festival Bandana comes in a premium large size! We made it 24" square (instead of 22") so it will easily fit around your hat brim! 


The RIFF bandana was designed and drawn by The Whale Guitar's own Jen Long! 
Her art incorporates folk instruments and the RI Folk Fest logo in charming black and white linework on vivid red fabric! Check out the Rhode Island red rooster corners and Jen's calligraphy around the edges - oh and that Lil' Rhody on the accordion! <3
No wonder she's been asked to be the new Art Director for the festival. To which she has replied a resounding YES!!! Come say hello to her (ummm...actually me - I'm gonna stop writing in 3rd person now LOL) at the festival!

These bandanas are being offered as a LIMITED EDITION to raise funds for the RI Folk Fest. Only 100 of these beautiful bandanas have been printed!
