Old songs for modern times. Great, old songs are taking on a new life with The Splinters, featuring vocal harmonies and blazing instrumentals. Influenced by traditional bluegrass, swing, with a little bit of rock and roll, The Splinters produce a unique interpretation of this timeless material.

Annabelle's Revival came together from a couple of friends who met while jamming, as so many groups do. And now they're ready to take their love of traditional and modern bluegrass with a mix of other styles on the road - or at least as far as the front porch. Come by and say hi!

Take four people from Louisiana, Vermont, Connecticut, and Sweden.
Add equal parts of folk, old-fashioned country, with a pinch
of bluegrass and gospel. Put it into a pot of cover tunes from
the last century. Spice with plenty of harmony vocals and add an
original or two. That's Tail - rootsy, acoustic, and pleasant.
What to expect? Songs of Neil Young, Beatles, Dylan, Traditionals,
Steve Earl, Grateful Dead, Pixies, 80’s pop\70s hits, originals.
All presented with a very personal touch.

The Mill Town Rounders play folk, rock, and bluegrass in the Boston Area. The band's name refers to its spiritual home in Maynard, Massachusetts. MTR is all about having fun and their songs range from bluegrass standards to classic rock and folk to down home country. MTR loves playing together and the thoughtful arrangements, tight harmonies, and spirited instrumentals generate an energy that envelops the audience. The band recently released an EP of original songs, Lead Lined Box, available on their website. They are (L to R): Don Shulsinger (banjo), Dave Walsh (harmonica), Josh Olivier-Mason (vocals, ukulele), John Harper (guitar), Joy Walsh (vocals), and Tom Sheppard (bass).

Hailing from Somerville, MA, Sam Reid & the Riot Act is an acoustic guitar-driven rock band with a true bluegrass soul. This American roots band features plenty of flatpicking and three-part harmonies punctuated by a driving rhythm section.

Drawing from blues and Dixieland traditions and with a street-smart stagecraft honed in the subways of Boston, Amy’s "modern vintage" grooves have earned her comparisons to Lake Street Dive, Maria Muldaur and the Asylum Street Spankers. The 2015 Kerrville New Folk winning songwriter explores all dimensions of her ukulele, both exploiting and defying its reputation as a novelty instrument.
