Queerfolk Fest 2021 recently announced their debut festival, showcasing LGBTQ+ identifying artists and bands with a free live-streaming event from Club Passim in Cambridge, MA on June 12th. Sara Gougeon, a queer folk artist and graduate of Berklee College of Music, made this her mission after realizing the lack of venues highlighting artists like her. Gougeon embarked on her journey to amplify queer folk artists with the creation of her music company, Pineworks Creative.

In June, 30,000 or so people will gather on a hillside at Yellow Creek Park in Owensboro, Kentucky for the annual Rompfest, a four-day festival of bluegrass music.
Owensboro is home to the international Bluegrass Hall of Fame, which sponsors the show and the festival brings out some of the biggest names - Ricky Skaggs and Rhonda Vincent have played past festivals. Last summer, the pandemic nixed the festivities, but this year s lineup includes Dan Tyminski COVID willing.
If all goes to plan, the lineup will include Stoneface Mountain, made up of Megan and Audrey Mendenhall of Bedford, Ellie and Mary Strano of Lexington and Jack Bram and Tommy van der Laan, also of Lexington.
