New England Americana Summer Series

Back in February, 34 New England based acts came together for 3 sold out nights at Church (www.churchofboston.com) down in the Fenway area of Boston. With out a dime behind us, our goal was to put on a local, grassroots festival to give like minded artists and fans the opportunity to mingle in effort to try to reignite a musical community that has been somewhat dormant (in our opinion) for a number of years now. Well we’re happy to say that it's working. Almost all of the acts are teaming up for shows of their own, sitting in on one another's recordings and sets, and supporting each other by going to shows and spreading the love to their fans and supporters.

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.

This time we will be bringing the festival to the Hard Rock Cafe as a monthly Americana Summer Series. The series features bands that draw from American music's deep heritage in unique ways, often blurring lines between country, rock, blues, gospel, bluegrass, and other styles.

So, come out and join us and our friends at Narragansett Beer, City Wide Blackout, and the New England Folk Music Archives for a good time and to support YOUR local music scene!
