Wow deluxe! Yesterday’s New England Americana Festival was superb! If you were there, you know what we are talking about.

Check our story posts for a glimpse of what we captured (until they drop off after 24 hours).

We’ll share videos and photos of each of the fourteen bands this week.

Cheers to The New England Americana Festival lead organizer Kier Byrnes for bringing together the bands, sponsors, and volunteers to make it happen.

Ahead of the festival this Sunday at Bellforge Arts Center in Medfield, MA we can't help but think back to the amazing times we've had in the past! We're you there?

Did you know....

The New England Americana Fest was first held in 2007, put together by the New England Americana Association, a committee of volunteers consisting of music journalists, radio personalities, talent buyers and other general Americana music enthusiasts. Like many things, the festival was paused for a few years due to the pandemic and other factors, but was relaunched in 2024.

Did you know that The New England Americana Festival co-organizer Kier Byrnes is a thumb wrestling champion? In an OHB interview with Kier, Sooz asked him about his current standing and well... here's the video clip.

Did we ask a friend to knit a championship thumb wrestling band? Yes, we sure did.
