Plus, Lowell Folk Festival and “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” in concert.
Newport Folk Festival has a reputation for solid lineups — that’s why it sells out every year before the excruciatingly painful, slow release of booked performers. While I wasn’t able to secure tickets ahead of time, by the grace of the music journalism gods, I will be covering the festival for WBUR. I cannot wait to see the angelic creature that is Hozier again and hear my latest obsession, Billie Marten, live.
Folk lovers who weren’t able to snag tickets to Newport Folk Festival are in luck because downtown Lowell is also hosting a folk music festival this weekend, and it’s free! The festival will bring together musicians, singers and dancers across cultures from Yoni Battat Ensemble, a Mizrahi Jewish music group from Boston, to Farah Yasmeen Shaikh, a Kathak dancer. There will also be a parade, street performances, dancing, artist vendors and global cuisine.
Celebrate a weekend of live jazz music at the ninth annual Cambridge Jazz Festival. Some of the performers include South African and Boston-based drummer and composer Lumanyano Mzi, the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice Quartet and Gabrielle Goodman, professor in the voice department at Berklee. José C. Massó III, host and producer of weekly bilingual Latin music program ¡Con Salsa! on WBUR, will host both days of the festival.
