Back Porch Festival (Northampton, MA) Extends Line Up!

Brian Carroll

I feel like I just need to say “I am going to just drop this right here…” and then walk away. But I will give you a little bit more.

I’ve got a sweet spot in my heart for the whole “music festivals taking over a downtown area” thing afer years planning and executing the New England Americana Fest with my buds back in Cambridge and Back Porch Festival is in the same vein. Particularly excited to see I’m With Her and Peter Rowan with Sam Grisman at the top of the bill. But man oh man, is the center of this line up stacked with favorites and pals. Margaret Glaspy, Low Cut Connie, Mark Erelli, The Clement Brothers, Kathleen Parks Band, Ward Hayden & The Outliers, Maya De Vitry and it goes on and on!

Get your tickets while you can and definitely opt for snagging a Ramble Pass. Its $85…yes, ONLY EIGHTY FIVE BUCKS…to catch over 50 artists at 10 different venues downtown in Northampton.

Back Porch Festival is in Northampton, Mass from March 27-29, 2026.
