ARTISTSWe're excited to welcome several artists to this year's lineup and will announce more in the weeks to come. If you would like to be showcased among our talented musicians, let us know by filling out this form. Kemp HarrisKemp honed his powerful, intimate performance style in Cambridge’s coffeehouses, developing into a magnetic frontman who has shared stages with artists such as Koko Taylor, Gil Scott-Heron, and Taj Mahal. He has composed original music for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Complexions Contemporary Ballet, established a songwriting residency at Boston’s Wang Theater, and recently delivered a series of master classes at Berklee College of Music on the subject of Artists as Activists, alongside Chad Stokes of the band Dispatch and members of the dance troupe Urban Bush Women. Kemp’s most recent album, Edenton, featuring vocals from the legendary Holmes Brothers, is a modern blues journey that fuses the personal and the political, the sacred and the profane, to haunting effect. Late Night ThoughtsLate Night Thoughts is the Indie-Pop duo of Michael Harlow and Brian Rauch. Michael is the music and harmony to Brian's lyrics and melody as the two share their complementary talents to create a unique combination of singer-songwriter stylings with anthemic pop production. Their first EP, 'Moonlit Memories', was released in 2018 and helped them burst onto the scene behind their singles 'Shit Happens' and 'What Love Truly Means' as they grew their audience by performing locally and at colleges up and down the East Coast. Garnering praise from multiple outlets such as Popternative, NYS Music, and Aesthetic Magazine, their early releases have given the duo a dedicated fanbase across the country. LNT released their newest EP, 'Bridges & Tunnels' on December 3, 2021. LOGISTICSLocation. Performances will occur throughout the day on multiple stages around Hale. Parking.
