Back Porch Festival: Anais Mitchell, Birds of Chicago, Jeffrey Foucault — Massachusetts
The Academy of Music Theatre 274 Main Street, Northampton, MA, United StatesThe fourth annual Back Porch Festival returns March 1-4, with all-star line-ups of American roots artists at the Academy of Music and The Parlor Room.
Anaïs Mitchell is a Vermont and Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter who comes from the world of narrative folksong, poetry and balladry.
Birds of Chicago began in 2012 when Nero started writing for his vocal star-muse, Russell. Both were accomplished singer/songwriters with projects of their own, Nero with JT and the Clouds and Russell with the acclaimed Canadian roots outfit Po’ Girl, but together there was an unmistakable chemistry. A cross border band was born.
Foucault has given American poetry some of its most vital lines and his musical searchings have become touchstones of density and durability.
