Nearly two-dozen talented contemporary folk, blues and Americana artists will converge on Boston, Massachusetts on Sunday, June 6, for the WUMB Music Fest.
Formerly known as the Boston Folk Festival and held in the early fall, the festival has adopted a new moniker bearing the name of its radio station presenter, and now, in its 13th year, will be held at a new location on the UMass Boston Campus.
The WUMB Music Fest, running from noon to 7 p.m., will feature performances on three stages: a covered outdoor stage and two indoor ones, including a Coffeehouse Stage produced by the Boston Area Coffeehouse Association (BACHA).
Artists slated to perform under a tent at the Field Stage include Amy Speace, Cliff Eberhardt, Winterbloom (Meg Hutchinson, Antje Duvekot, Anne Heaton and Natalia Zukerman), John Sebastian, The Angel Band and the David Bromberg Band. Gracing the Lipke Stage will be Danielle Miraglia, Guggenheim Grotto, Dala, The Kennedys, and Gandalf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of Dreams. The Coffeehouse (Ryan) Stage will feature performances by Chris O’Brien, Anais Mitchell, Les Sampou with Taylor Amerding, and Michael Troy, as well as a blues and roots-oriented Songwriters in the Round with Scott Ainslie, Brendan Hogan and Danielle Miraglia.Crafts and food vendors will be on the premises throughout the day, and children’s activities also are planned.
Ticket prices rise on June 1. They can be ordered online by logging-on to www.wumbmusicfest.org or by calling (617) 287-6911.
