That's us on the treeline, there. See?
What with weather and whatnot, the New England folk festival season only runs from June to September; it's a pretty compressed time, rich with opportunity, and invariably, there are tough choices to be made. But over the years, the luckiest of us have found found a few sacred places that feel like home, and we wouldn't miss them for the world.
Which is to say: I'm off tomorrow for the farms and fields of midstate New York, for two glorious weeks of festivaling: bluegrass at Grey Fox this weekend, and folk at Falcon Ridge the following. And there ain't no blogging from the field.
But don't worry, folks, I got you covered. A few like-minded and folk-friendly bloggers have graciously agreed to guest-blog here in my absence, so keep coming 'round for some great writing from the rotation. But before I go, here's a few from the folks and fests I'll regret missing while I'm away.
I just received my advance copy of Sweet Life, the upcoming release from alt-folkie Catie Curtis, in the mail today, so I can't honestly say I've had a chance to let it sink in. But I'm already in love with her surprisingly poppy, affirming cover of Death Cab for Cutie's Soul Meets Body, and we're long overdue for recognition of the enduring work of this wonderful songwriter, champion of the working class, and long-time staple of the Boston folk scene.
Curtis is known for her vivid storytelling, especially in her ability to tease greatness out of ordinary lives, but she has always had a knack for carefully chosen, deliberately interpreted coversongs which she can truly make her own. This great cover is no exception: her guitarwork and the alt-pop production are catchy as hell, and her voice comes off all breathy and beautiful, like Lucinda Williams after a few voice lessons. Happily, the album seems to be more of the same.
Catie's turn on etown will feature a collaborative cover of Yellow Submarine with Barenaked Ladies, but it doesn't air until the end of August; Sweet Life won't drop until September, and I'll be away for Catie's tourdates in northeastern New England next week. To tide us over, here's the Death Cab cover, plus an older cover of minimalist alt-rockers Morphine from Catie's 2004 album Dreaming in Romance Languages.

- Catie Curtis, The Night (orig. Morphine)
Back when we lived up near Greenfield, MA, and before Grey Fox became too much of a temptation, we were regulars at the Green River Festival, a day-only fest (no camping) which has slowly spread to encompass three successive days of music. Previously, I've written about seeing Jeffrey Foucault there; the Green River also brought me my first live experiences with a whole host of amazing artists, from Josh Ritter and Gillian Welch to Carrie Rodriguez and Peter Mulvey.
This year's Green River Fest line-up is worth celebrating, especially for the free concert in town on Thursday night featuring Cover Lay Down favorites Richard Shindell, Caroline Herring, and future feature-post subject Mark Erelli. Mainstage shows the following days will feature Mavis Staples, Los Straightjackets, Jimmie Vaughn, Crooked Still, and the following pair of alt-country/folk femmes, who cover Greg Brown exquisitely. Green River runs July 17-19; if you don't care much for for hard-core bluegrass, and you've got a place to crash in the upper reaches of Western Massachusetts over the coming weekend, you really should be getting on the road right about now.

- Lucinda Williams, Hang Down Your Head (orig. Tom Waits)
(more Lucinda)
Stay tuned for some great guest bloggers covering subjects from Hank Williams covers to trans-oceanic British folk rock. I'll be back in the swing of things by the end of July, rejuvenated and steeped in the real deal, with photos of both festivals, at least one interview, and a report on the Beatles and Utah Phillips coversong songswaps just announced for Falcon Ridge.
