Cambridge has always been a stronghold for folk music; whether it’s the Harvard Square’s New England Folk Archives or legendary folk music venue Club Passim. One of the world’s biggest folk music record labels, Rounder Records used to call the area home as well. Today, this town is the home of The Whiskey Boys, one of the premier folk acts around. Led by fiddle/vocalist, David Delaney, the band builds on the folk genre by exploring new themes and utilizing some creative approaches on traditional folk music. The music is so fresh and entertaining, it will leave the folk purist or the average radio listener quite pleased. This band continues to turn a lot of heads in New England. This band is one of the best you will find in town. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see The Whiskey Boys as one of the big up and coming acts at next year’s Newport Folk Festival. (Kier Byrnes)
