Description:

From FreshGrass Website:

An opportunity for enthusiasts to both appreciate and participate, FreshGrass is a family-friendly festival, brimming with bright talent on our four stages, and also in our galleries, brick-lined courtyards, and grassy field. FreshGrass is becoming more than a festival: join us as we build a new hub for the bluegrass community, honoring the American tradition while also propelling the genre forward.

Music starts early in the museum courtyards, moves to our spacious (and grassy!) urban concert meadow, and then continues until past your bedtime with wild and wooly late-night barn dances in the Hunter Center on Friday and Saturday nights. The lineup is jam-packed with guitar gods and banjo gurus, traditionalists and trailblazers--artists you already know and love along with new FreshGrass discoveries. Taken together, it's an expansive group of performers who both draw on the past and look to the future.

Elsewhere on campus, instrument-specific workshops and industry seminars are offered in conjunction with Berklee College of Music and its American Roots Program, often featuring guest musicians from the festival. And each year five young bands perform for an all-star jury, vying for The FreshGrass Award: over $10,000 in cash prizes awarded for fresh takes on bluegrass music.

Join us for a day, a night, or the whole weekend. We can't wait to welcome you to MASS MoCA.
