Viele offers an ideal mix of stunning New England artists. Each performer is a mainstay in today’s music scene. He alternated groups of three on both stages, staggering set times so there was no overlap. Everyone can see the performances of all the artists without any problem. In addition to Viele, the list of artists is also impressive. These include Stephen Peter Rogers, Riley Cotton, Leo Totten, Eddie Sevilla and Frank Critter, among others. One performer sings a song, then the next performer sings a song, until all three performers have had their turn. Then they’ll give each artist two more songs to back up the night. The performance in this round was outstanding. It’s truly awesome.

Their music resonates deeply with audiences and the sonic atmosphere they create is huge. Next up on the indoor stage were Charlotte Roth, Chris Kelly and AMP contributor Marisa Bloom. The chemistry these three have is intoxicating. Everyone felt the beauty of their music. Undercover Cameo, Eddie Sevilla and Simone Marie follow outside. At this time, the musical atmosphere has brightened, and the three artists weave pleasant auditory textures that transport the listener to a distant space.

Last but not least, No Worries Brewing Company is a very fun dog-friendly business. My wife and I take our crazy dog Milan there at least once a month. Kevin Marks is an amazing boss. It feels very laid back, the beer is great, and the staff is great. This is the most suitable home 21Songwriters Festival. WOW Radio’s Pam Landry and Brian Smith were also in attendance.
