The New England Americana Festival is coming to Harvard Square from September 27th to 29th. The event features over 60 of the area’s best folk and roots acts at small venues for a very affordable price. Anyone who has even the slightest familiarity with Boston’s songwriters is sure to be excited about some of the names on this list. All day shows are free, and night shows are so cheap (28 bucks for a 2-day pass, 15 bucks for a single day) you shouldn’t even think twice about it. See below for schedule details, and see here for tickets.
