Northern Roots

Traditional Music Festival

Saturday, January 28th, 2023 and Sunday, January 29, 2023

In 2021, this cornerstone of the traditional music calendar in New England was held in virtual form. In 2022 we returned, in part, with 2 in person concerts and 2 online worshops. The details for 2023 are in the works and we expect to return to a mix of concerts and participatory sessions.

The Northern Roots Festival is known as a showcase of the variety of northern musical traditions including Irish, Scottish, English, French Canadian, Shetland and more. This year will be no exception – stay tuned for details!

Concert(s) and sessions TBA

When the program is set we will update our performer page so you can learn more about our amazing musicians!
