      Sage Words

      Indiegrass songstress Sage Harrington

      Americana is the new punk rock. Like the early ’80s when any yob with a snarl and electric guitar called themselves punk, anyone today that has a thrift store banjo and name drops the Carter Family thinks they are folk musicians, deserving of serious listening and dollar-per-song downloads. Wrong.

The Alibi breaks down some of the weekend’s highlights.
