Happy Holiday Shows in Americana Boston

It's been busy - what with the multiple celebrations and hootnannies that go along with all the hoopla. Hardly have time to stop and look at all the great shows and bands hucking their music out to the world in our cold, snowy town here. A couple good things coming up in the new year.

First the 3rd annual "New England Americana Festival" is coming up - no line up announced yet, but this series is a continuation of the Alt Country Extravaganza
that Mike MacDonald and the Widowmakers put on for the last two years. Mike Mac
was a pivotal member of the alt country community in Boston, and after his stint in the service, he has relo'd to the Austin Texas area, leaving a gaping hole in the
Alt country community in Boston. Mike's dedication to the music is second to none and he is missed 'round these parts. Let's hope that the 3rd annual lives up to the great shows that Mike was responsible for in the past - keep tuned - more to come on this
