Boston Calling has gotten off to a good start at the Harvard Athletic Complex. Although not in the ideal weather, the team worked with what they had, and successfully brought together a larger scale festival to the Boston area. Acts ranging from comedy to music took the stages, and have yet to fail to bring a smile to our face. With the change in scenery and amount of artists, Boston Calling sticks to its vibe but feels like a different experience. Here's what we saw from the first day of the festival.
As we've passed the one week mark, things are slowly getting set into place at the Harvard Athletic Complex for our arrival. That's right, Boston Calling is finally here. We were able to get a hold of Boston Calling's talent buyer, Trevor Solomon. We discuss the many ways this festival has changed, along with the careful planning that goes into making it happen.
If you're lost in the massive Boston Calling lineup, have no fear. WIRE is here to give you a taste of what we've been scoping out.
As the rain and winds grew heavy throughout the Boston, a small crowd gathered on the floor of Northeastern's AfterHOURS entertainment venue. Contrasting the advancing storm and city clamor were a set of sedated tunes that whined and whirred throughout the locale as if possessed by an ethereal presence. Grouper, the solo project of Portland-based musician/artist Liz Harris, had once again brought her creative talents to the Northeast.
