Option 22 is an ecelctic Americana ensemble with a revolutionary vibe. Dubbed by one listener a “new age jam band,” their broad style spans from newgrass to space-folk to roots-rock world funk and points in between. They are channels for the music, allowing it to flow through them and deliver it to whomever is present along with messages of hope, love and healing. On the fly collaborative dynamics, rhythmic muscle and thematic inventions shower you with sound that is sure to lift your vibration and unlock the doors of your heart, allowing you to groove freely and transcend.

They are creative visionaries and healers who believe in the power of music and the importance of spreading peace and kindness. They are based in downtown Princeton, West Virginia where they run The RiffRaff Arts Collective, a multi-purpose creative zone which is transforming a once abandoned downtown. They breathe positive, creative energy into an area which was once dark and depressed. They burn incense and blow bubbles onto the street, play didgeridoos on the sidewalk and hold drum circles in the town square. They give light and hope wherever the door is open and pour their hearts and souls into organizing events like Culturefest World Music & Arts Festival, a convergence of music, art and peace on a magical Appalachian mountaintop.
