The FreshGrass Bluegrass Festival at MASS MoCA takes place this Friday through Sunday – September 18th-20th.
FreshGrass is rich in both traditional and cutting-edge bluegrass, presented in a wide array of venues. An opportunity for enthusiasts to both appreciate and participate, FreshGrass is a family-friendly festival, brimming with bright talent on four stages, and also in MASS MoCA’s galleries, brick-lined courtyards, and grassy field.
This year’s festival boasts performances by Dwight Yoakam, Punch Brothers, The Del McCoury Band and many (many) others; workshops, the 2015 FreshGrass Award Contest, Freshscores (more on that later), The Man in Grass: A FreshGrass Tribute to Johnny Cash – food, art, and luthiery.
