Yesterday, a day that many folks who make the yearly pilgrimage to the quaint industrial town of North Adams, Mass wait eagerly for, came: The day that Freshgrass rolls out its first bolus of artists that will perform among the brick and art installations at Mass Moca in September.
Since its inaugural event in 2011 the festival has exploded, both in its general roster size as well as the acts that is has managed to land and those that continue to come back to event. 2011 started things off strong with newer generation artists Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O’ Donovan and bluegrass legend Del McCoury alongside Newgrass pioneers Yonder Mountain String Band.
2018 sees the return of YMSB as well as staples Allison Brown, Darol Anger and the Berklee Roots Music Program alongside popular roots juggernauts Rhiannon Giddons and Trampled by Turtles.
The full (current) line up is below and comes with the message that more big news is coming soon. Tickets available at: http://freshgrass.com/get-tickets/
