Rhythm & Roots fun & hopping through Sunday

The Rhythm & Roots Festival is in full swagger this weekend in Rhode Island. On Friday thousands of people enjoyed the music of blues guitarist and singer Paul Geremia, the legendary Bill Kirchen, known as the “Titan of the Telecaster, and the upbeat zydeco of Preston Frank, Ed Poullard and Corey Ledet on the dance floor.

Here is a brief clip….Hope you enjoy:

Today’s lineup is also stellar, with groups like the cajun-infused Red Stick Ramblers, Pine Leaf Boys and the Zydeco Cha-Chas, the jam-band bluegrass of the Waybacks, the rock of Dan Hicks, the blues of Marcia Ball and three-time Grammy winner Keb’ Mo.’

The festival, held at Ninigret Park in Charlestown, R.I., is hopping right through Sunday, with another full lineup. Check out the schedule.
