Lowell Folk Festival Strikes A Youthful Chord
ResumeForget those hour-long sitar sessions and exhausting accordion songs. The Lowell Folk Festival is bringing something new to the table — a more lively, rock-out type of show, with equally diverse food and crafts. We take a closer look at this year's festival and the wider role of folk music in New England.
Guests:
- Maggie Holtzberg, director of cultural programming for the Lowell Historical Parks Service; manager of folk arts and heritage for the Massachusetts Cultural Council
- Julia Olin, executive director of the National Council for the Traditional Arts
This program aired on July 22, 2010.
