Bostonist was at the New Bedford Summerfest this weekend, enjoying the refreshingly non-ironic sounds and earnest lyrics of several musicians who appeared to have actually studied their instruments as instruments rather than chick-getting-devices. There was also crowd participation, fried food, and an overwhelming array of nautical crafts for sale. We ended up being suckers for the glass whales and the blowfish. Scrimshaw was briefly considered, but judged both too expensive and too morally questionable. But the festival was about the music, not the accessories. Red Molly, Eileen Ivers, Lucy Kaplansky, Beaucoup Blue, Women in Docs, Mike and Ruthy, and The Kennedys put on some wonderful shows. More details and a photo gallery after the jump.
