The National, Fun, Dirty Projectors Play Boston In New Music Festival

Nineteen acts will take over City Hall Plaza this weekend in the first Boston Calling Music Festival.  Big name bands on the bill include The National, Andrew Bird, Fun and the Shins; local acts Caspian and The Bad Rabbits will also be perform. Some are saying the event is a Vitamin D shot for Boston's music scene and City Hall Plaza itself. We preview the bands and talk to some of the organizers to peek behind the scenes.
