The David Wax Museum - August 7 - 6 pm
Recently anointed Boston's Americana Artist of the Year (2010 Boston Music Awards), the David Wax Museum has been called "pure, irresistible joy" (Bob Boilen, NPR) and hailed by TIME.com for its "virtuosic harmonies." It is no surprise that its acclaimed performance at the 2010 Newport Folk Festival was hailed as one of the highlights of the entire weekend by NPR. The Museum fuses traditional Mexican folk with American roots and indie rock to create an utterly unique Mexo-Americana aesthetic.

She Keeps Bees - August 21 - 6 pm
Brooklyn-based She Keeps Bees have been recorded and released music made at home since 2006. The Guardian said that "they're like the White Stripes in reverse." Drowned in Sound said of Larrabee that "she has amazing control over her vocals, able to simultaneously be fiery and reserved, seductive and vaguely crude", and fellow Brooklyn musician Sharon Van Etten said "she has one of the best voices I have ever heard and she has more soul in one finger than most female singers have in our scene." The New York Times's ArtsBeat compared her to PJ Harvey, but added that "far from Ms. Harvey’s theatrical poise, Ms. Larrabee is loose, vehement and unchoreographed, jittering around the stage."
Dal Segno String Camp - August 6 - 9, 2012
