Experience the Best of Music at MASS MoCA FreshGrass 2021

MASS MoCA FreshGrass 2021 is just around the corner, and music lovers are in for a treat. This year's festival celebrates new talent with cash prizes to the contest winners, making it an exciting event not to be missed.

The lineup is packed with a diverse range of artists who draw on the past while looking to the future. From guitar gods and banjo gurus to traditionalists and trailblazers, attendees will get to experience both familiar names and fresh discoveries. The festival features performances by Evolfo, Robin Lane, Senseless Optimism, Tim Hall, and many more.

The event takes place across MASS MoCA's 16-acre campus, with music starting early in the museum courtyards before moving to the spacious urban concert meadow and then continuing into the night with wild and woolly barn dances. But that's not all - attendees can also explore art and music at various event spaces, bars, cafes, and galleries throughout downtown Lowell.

The festival celebrates Kerouac's spirit of creativity and innovation, and its motto 'Art is the Handmaid of Human Good' reflects the importance of art in bringing people together. The event features a range of activities, including FreshScores (a silent film with original live music), FreshGrass commissions and world premieres, and instrument and industry workshops.

In addition to bluegrass legends like Dispatch, Sarah Jarosz, Béla Fleck, and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, the festival also features punk, ska, hardcore, and craft beer at its one-day party featuring the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Pennywise, Get Dead, and more. And for those who love folk, funk, and rock, there's a special jam hosted by our neighbors to the south with sets from Donna the Buffalo, John Hiatt, Veronica Lewis, Ward Hayden & the Outliers, and many more.

MASS MoCA FreshGrass 2021 is an event that has something for everyone. From its eclectic mix of music genres to its commitment to celebrating new talent, this festival is sure to be a highlight of the summer season. So mark your calendars and get ready to experience some of the best music around!
