Primiarily known for producing film festivals in the Bay Area, but also with a history of presenting music festivals in the past, SF IndieFest will present a new a three day concert to showcase emerging talent from the folk-punk world. Broken Strings will be held September 25-27 at Camp Pollock in Sacramento CA, an idyllic former Boy Scout campground on the banks of the American River.
The festival will feature approximately two dozen acts from across the U.S., including Mischief Brew (celebrating the release of their new album on Alternative Tentacles Records), Blackbird Raum, Kepi Ghoulie, Eliza Rickman, Dirty Kid Discount, Thee Hobo Gobbelins, and more!
Complete lineup and information will be available at https://www.sfindie.com by September 1. For more info, contact IndieFest at (415) 820-3907 or [email protected].
Festival Introduces Folk Punk to Wider Audience
Broken Strings is an exploration of folk punk, a loosely-defined underground genre combining the energy of punk rock with the personal, stripped-down appeal of folk music. Both kinds of music value immediacy and shared experience. Folk punk doesn’t need big amplifiers and fancy effects; it’s music to hear and see up close. The result is a wide range of music; mostly (but not always) acoustic, mixing traditional music like bluegrass and klezmer with the raw energy of punk. Singalongs become shout-alongs, with lyrics about both the political and the personal. The bands perfoming at the festival all combine elements of folk music with punk. Performers at Broken Strings range from solo acoustic performers to full ensembles, mixing in folk traditions from around the world into something new and exciting. The festival will give attendees an up-close look at a new frontier of independent music before it is discovered by mainstream audiences.
Festival attendees can camp, swim in the river, sing around campfires and interact with some of the nation’s finest independent artists. Camping passes for the entire weekend are available as well as single day passes.
