NorthAmericana Festival Digs Its Roots Into Harvard Square This Weekend (9/16-17)

Though in size it may be smaller, the line up consists of some of the best and brightest that New England has to offer ranging from the soulful pipes of blues badass Julie Rhodes to the rich and rootsy harmonies from the gals of Lula Wiles and the rocking, creamy guitar riffs of The Silks, its an event that has a little something, something for every lover of music and then some.

 

From the planning board, “The NorthAmericana Festival will take place on the week-end of September 16 and 17 in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts and will feature a kick-off concert at Club Passim and an all day free open air concert. The Festival is part of Revival Week and will showcase a combination of veteran and emerging artists representing the full spectrum of American roots music, from blues to bluegrass and all in between.”

 

We caught up with festival planner and committee member, Patrick Coman, who just so happens to be bringing his Okie-bred, red dirt brand of bluesy folk to the fest as well.
