Boston Folk Festival rebranded as WUMB Music Festival?


I refer readers to NEFolknRoots article #6202, posted December 9, 2008, published when WUMB began re-branding itself away from "folk radio" towards AAA "music mix", playing pop music and "cancelling" (sic, WUMB's spelling) the folk festival. The premise was that if the festival were to be brought back it would be under some other name that excluded the word "folk" as the music presented would be something else.

Re: Boston Folk Festival canceled

It could be a strategy to dump WUMB's folk legacy.

I predict there will be a 2009 WUMB-sponsored festival, but it will be billed as the "Boston Pop (or insert a word meaning AAA) Festival", with
artists from those listed in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NorthEastFolknRoots/message/6195



The name change appears that have come .

Last year's indoor festival was titled "Boston Folk Festival" but this year it is being referred to, in the UMass Boston calendar and recent on-air announcements, as the...


WUMB Music Festival (1/ 1)
Date/Time: Saturday, June 5, 2010, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Location:
Science Center, second floor, Herbert Lipke Auditorium (0003A) (200 expected)
Organization: Radio Station WUMB
Requestor: Monteith, Pat 7-6900
Current and future activities

Date Time Location Comments
Songwriting Contest-Lipke Saturday, June 5, 2010 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM S02-0003A

Music Festival Sunday, June 6, 2010 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM

And as a further reminder to the UMass Boston administration, WUMB management and all taxpayers who fund both, the WUMB mission statement has not changed since the rebranding efforts began. It mandates WUMB is to be a FOLK and ROOTS station and the UMass Boston festival is to be a FOLK festival. Copied 3/28/10:

Serving radio listeners, particularly the folk and roots music audience, through WUMB-FM, the university's public radio station; and promoting WUMB-FM and its relationship to UMass Boston. Through WUMB, producing such activities as Summer Acoustic Music Week in New Hampshire and the Boston Folk Festival on the UMass Boston campus.

I read that you have changed the name of the festival so that it no longer contains the word 'folk' -- is this true?

and got back this reply:

Hello Ron,

The music festival we are holding in June, in partnership with other campus departments during UMass Boston's Commencement week activities, is not being called the Boston Folk Festival. However, we encourage you to check out our announcement next Tuesday of the Festival's line-up, to determine for yourself if the event is consistent with the talent we have brought in during past Folk Festivals.

Thanks for your interest. We hope that when you hear who's playing, you'll want to attend.

If you are on both you can unsubscribe from one or the other (ReverbNation is “just the facts”, once per month and once per concert; “notloB Music” is a news and discussion group that sends additional information about the local folk music community as well as the occasional free ticket contest/give-aways and other fun stuff.

5. “Supporters of folk and blues on WGBH” has served the community well as a news sharing and organizing device. We should have had something similar two years ago when “folk radio” WUMB was lost to AAA “music mix.” Such a group does now exist, but it is private. If you would like an invitation, please send an email, containing name and your feelings about “folk radio” vs. “music mix” to notlobreservations@gmail.com.

6. OTHER CONCERT RECOMMENDATIONS. We believe the wider information about quality concerts is spread, the larger the folk/ roots/ Celtic/ blues/ bluegrass community will become. This is especially important as the world, national and local economies sour. Spread the word, support local live music and build the community. We wish there were one unified, uncensored music calendar for such events (for a listing and analysis of such resources, click here), but until it exists, these are notloB Folk Concerts’ recommendations.

Keeping in touch. There are several ways to stay informed of scheduled events:

Volunteering / Street team. This is a 100% volunteer-run effort. Concerts would not be possible without volunteer assistance. All interested in helping can read the Volunteer Policy. “Guerilla” publicity builds community by spreading the word to family, friends and neighbors. Posting flyers in your neighborhood music shops, book stores, coffee shops and workplace is appreciated. To register, go to http://www.reverbnation.com/notlob, then send an email to notlobreservations@gmail.com requesting printer-ready files. Be a regular guerilla and you’ll receive a nice reward.

Admission is by donation. A suggested minimum donation (varies by concert), often with discount to those making reservations and sometimes to students and seniors, is requested. Your donations cover rent, sound system rental, sound engineer, publicity and other production expenses. 100% of the balance goes to the artists (many of whom travel many miles). Sometimes there are shortfalls, so extra donations are gladly accepted.

Photography, video recording, & sound recording. No still, video or sound recording is permitted without permission of the artist and the house. If you would like to share photos of past concerts, email the pictures and/or web link to notlobreservations@gmail.com

Keep your lamp trimmed and burning!

The Almanac Singers – Which Side Are You On?

Post image for The Almanac Singers – Which Side Are You On?

The Almanac Singers – Which Side Are You On?

21 March, 2010

The almanac singers – Which side are you? contains virtually everything The Alamnac Singers released of note between 1941-42. This release is a refreshing reminder of what the folk music scene was like in 1940’s America. Although this album may sound tame by modern standards, they were considered dangerously radical back then. Mixing Folk music with politics still makes some people uncomfortable today, but folk and politics have been bedfellows for a long long time and are likely to remain so for many years to come.

The almanac singers were a group of folk musicians who achieved popularity in the radical left / anti-fascist circles of early 1940s america, using the music of the people and the soil in a classic leftist way to promote their intellectual concerns. Millard Lampell, Lee Hays, Pete Seeger and americana godfather Woody Guthrie began playing together informally at the communal almanac house after Seeger and Hays had been playing left-wing political functions for a time.

Mainstream national success began after the American Youth Congress meeting in Washington DC in february of 1941. Others who sang with the group at various times included folk / leftist legends such as Sis Cunningham, Peter Hawes, Butch Hawes, Bess Lomax , Cisco Houston, and Arthur Stern.

Politics and music remained closely intertwined with the members’ political beliefs, which were far-left and led to controversial associations with the us communist party. Their first release was the album ‘Songs for John Doe’ on their own indie label, which urged non-intervention in World War II, and was made with the help of Eric Bernay (of Keynote), Joe Thompson (of NBC), Nicholas Ray (future film director) and Alan Lomax (musicologist). The second album was Talking Union, a collection of trade union-themed songs, many of which were intensely anti-Roosevelt. More recordings followed, but blacklisting and internal friction drove the group apart soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Key members Hayes and Seeger went on to enjoy chart success with The Weavers, but the radical politics which informed their early work returned to haunt them as they became victims of the sinister early 1950s anti-communist witch-hunt which divided america.

Which Side Are You On?” was a song written by Florence Reece in 1931. She was the wife of a union organizer for the United Mine Workers in Harlan County, Kentucky. In 1931 the miners of that region were locked in a bitter and violent struggle with the mine owners. In an attempt to intimidate the Reece family, deputies hired by the mining company illegally entered and searched the Reece family home. Sam Reece had been warned in advance and escaped, but Florence and their children were terrorized in his place. That night, after the men had gone, Florence wrote the lyrics to “Which Side Are You On?” on a calendar that hung in the kitchen of her home. She took the melody from a traditional Baptist hymn, “Lay the Lily Low”, or the traditional ballad “Jack Munro”. Florence recorded the song and it can be heard on the CD Which Side Are You on: Coal Mining Women
.

Reece supported a second wave of miner strikes circa 1973, as recounted in the documentary Harlan County USA.
