It’s a wicked hot summer weekend…so listen to some cool music!

First up, head to the coast for the annual New Bedford Folk Festival on Saturday and Sunday. Tons of great artists, family activities, local food vendors, and low ticket prices make this festival a “Must See.” Check the website for all the details including over 50 artists performing. Tickets are only $20 a day, $25 for a weekend pass–kids under 12 are free.

An awesome old-time folk band in The Devil Makes Three will be throwing a benefit for Brown Bird's Dave Lamb at Fete in Providence on Saturday with a bunch of special guests joining the fray. Tickets are $20 and plenty of donations will be accepted with all the proceeds going to benefit Dave in his fight against Leukemia.
