New England Americana Festival‘s Summer Series continues this Thursday at the Hard Rock Cafe. For those who made it last time, you may remember free Narragansett, impromptu live-on-the-air interviews, incredible New England Folk Archive stories and photography, Eric Royer’s mindboggling guitar machine, Jimmy Ryan‘s bluegrass shedding (on mandolin!), a great, social atmosphere and, of course, plenty of great music.
It’s a special event that Bostonians should catch while it’s local. From their website:
Our goal is to continue building the community, energy, and camaraderie throughout the year and beyond. To do this, New England Americana will be presenting shows all around New England with the focus on each local community, reflecting each area’s rapidly growing roots music scene.
So come down to the Hard Rock at 7pm to enjoy the second of three great bills of Boston-based, grassroots-bred music!
