2026 Artists

We’re joined this year by some of America’s best contra talent, including the incomparable Countercurrent, Will Mentor, the big band of trad pop goodness, Bubblegum Society, Frannie Marr and more! Together they’re spanning genres with funky modern contra sounds, classic New England tunes, and everything in between.

Plus we’ll have Sunday morning workshops, live break music, and more!
