NEW ENGLAND AMERICANA FESTIVAL PREVIEW @ CHURCH

NEA Fest logo

Church’s upcoming New England Americana Festival transports you back to a simpler time in our country’s musical history. When all you really needed was a hollow body and a full bottle to do somethin’ somethin’. That mythic golden age of song and sauce, known only as … right about now. Catch a preview of the upcoming showcase of up-rooted Roots groups, featuring the finest of the facial-haired hoe-downers, and the goldest of the golden-voiced folk crooners, such as the Hub’s own Old Jack and Joe Fletcher. Leather boots and iron livers are highly recommended.

[Sun. 3.13.11. 69 Kilmarnock St., Boston. 617.236.7600. 7pm/21+/$8. churchofboston.com]
