Talia Rose | Opening Act
Born and raised in Boston, Talia Rose has been writing songs with her guitar for as long as she can remember. Her writing combines intricate guitar accompaniment and a complex understanding of harmony with carefully crafted, deeply personal lyrics. Talia’s diverse career has included shows as a solo artist and sideman at venues including Club Passim (Boston), the Belize International Jazz Festival, and more. Her 2024 release, “Carry it Closely” was dubbed “a celebration of song, orchestration, and creative freedom” by guitarist Julian Lage.

The New Grown-Ups
Hailing from the Boston area, The New Grown-ups take a modern twist on American Roots music. They blend Traditional Folk, Country, Blues, Celtic, Old time, Originals, Bluegrass, and Pop into a snafu of contemporary acoustic music. The band has toured regionally around New England, and has an infectious onstage energy that comes with a love for performing and being around each other. They have a second album coming out in spring 2025.
