The Down Home Up Here Festival is an annual concert
celebrating bluegrass and old-time music, and is now in its tenth year. The
festival will take place at Club Passim (yes, in person) April 16 – 18, 2022.
The lineup this year includes Hello Stranger, Sophie Wellington and Laura
Orshaw. Saturday’s show kicks off at 4 p.m. with a performance by Zoe Levitt,
with Alex Formento and Devon Gardner. That set is followed by Maddie Witler and
Ethan Hawkins, and then Hello Stranger. The False Positives,
The Cow Catchers, Sophie Wellington, and
Casey Murray & Molly Tucker are also scheduled to perform on Saturday. Sunday’s
show begins at 5 p.m. with Samuel Acus And The Lonely Road. Jonathan Vocke
follows, and then Micah John & Friends. Evan Murphy & Friends, Laura
Orshaw and Korey Brodsky Trio will also perform that evening. And if that is
not enough music, there are two jams scheduled for Monday evening. The first is
a bluegrass jam at 7 p.m., led by Maxfield Anderson; the second is an old-time
jam led by Sophie Wellington, which is scheduled to begin at 9 o’clock. These
jams will feature musicians from the weekend, and folks are welcome to join in.
Not only is there a lot of great live music scheduled,
but there are also workshops earlier in the afternoon on both Saturday and
Sunday. Saturday features an intermediate bluegrass guitar workshop led by Evan
Murphy. It starts at 2:30 p.m., and runs ninety minutes. There are two
workshops on Sunday, both led by Jonathan Vocke. The first is at 1 p.m., and is
a two finger banjo workshop. The second, which starts at 2:30, focuses on
old-time rhythm guitar. The workshops require separate registration from the
main festival, and are limited to only fifteen students each, so get your
tickets soon. Proof of vaccination is required.
Club Passim is located at 47 Palmer St., in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. And for those people who can’t make it to the venue, live streams
will be available. Visit the Club Passim website for more information.
