The Cabot Trail has a history of great music, great musicians and there’s a whole new generation that’s revising acoustic roots, Celtic and folk music, so we are having another festival across generations, one that features traditional and original music. It’s a players and a music lovers’ festival, right along the Cabot Trail, indoors and outdoors, with concerts, open mikes, song writing and other workshops, open air jams included.
