Rachel Marie is a cunning wordsmith, and precociously sophisticated. Clear and mature vocal production colors songs that are relevant, relatable, and far-reaching. The social awareness of folk meets the introspection of the singer-songwriter tradition with a moderate dose of snark.

Snow and Keiffer combine forces to produce evocative melodies, vocals, and guitar to form their own brand of indie-folk. With influences such a Neko Case, Radiohead, and Neil Young, and drawing comparisons to Cowboy Junkies, the duo draws their audience into a dream-like space, rich with feeling. As a follow-up to their debut EP, Come With Me, in 2015, be on the look-out for their sophomoric album release in winter 2016/2017.

Fusing Rock, Funk, Jazz and beyond, Celebrity Look-Alikes generates a dance-fueled experience, launching the listener into a Psychedelic Soundscape. In a case of mistaken identity, the band members were once mauled by a swarm of enthused movie-star fans. Formed in 2014 in Boston, MA, Celebrity Look-Alikes released their debut EP in 2015. Almost a boy-band, the Look-Alikes really just need more vocal harmonies.

Six to Midnight will be opening up for Celebrity Look-Alikes at 4:00PM. If you like weird garage rock cover bands....then you will like S2M. Six to Midnight is....

Folk, guitar, voice, harmonies. Succulent, sweet, surprises. Bubbles, hula hoops, chalk.
Also, a jazzy set with a twist of lemon.
Also, sometimes an 80's sing-a-long song on ukulele thrown in, because we're grown ups and we can do what we want.

Want to hear something? If you request it and we know it? We'll play it.
*Also, though not specifically geared towards kids, people of all ages tend to listen joyfully. We think you'll like it.

Seven Times Salt is a Boston-based early music ensemble specializing in repertoire of the 16th and 17th centuries. Praised for creative programming and an “impeccably balanced sound” we delight in blurring the lines between “art music” and folk tunes, and feel at ease performing in the concert hall, the dance hall, or the beer hall!

Expect a fun selection of English Country Dances, 17th Century divisions, Irish and Scottish tunes, an perhaps a few Jewish selections in honor of the venue.

The Novel Ideas are a country folk quintet of friends from the great state of Massachusetts. Featuring the voices of three different songwriters, The Novel Ideas create a blend of pastoral, harmony driven, and plaintive Americana. In 2014 they released a 10" single "Lost on the Road", featuring two new songs and marking the band's first effort as a five piece. The following couple years have been spent touring nationally, writing, and recording as a band. Their latest release, St. Paul Sessions, was recorded live in an old church in their hometown. It features six unreleased songs, and aims to capture the raw, live energy of their live performance.

Coo &amp; Howl (3 - 4 p.m.) is a 5-person band of family members and friends, who have performed since 2010.

Red Right Hand (2 - 2:45 p.m.) singer/songwriter Jess Baggia's latest project explores the grittier, dark underbelly of her musical sensibilities.
