Rhode Island Banjo Festival

Saturday, Aug 30, 2025 at 3:00pm

Nick-A-Nees

We're seeing banjo crop up in a lot of new music on the scene. We thought it might be fun to gather some of our local favorites and a handful of folks we've met in our travels.

What to Expect: fingerpicking, strumming, clawhammer - traditional, bluegrass, jazz, country, punk - old friends, new friends, banjo pals a plenty. Maybe a guitar or two, but mostly banjos. Sponsored by Stone Soup Coffeehouse partnering with our dear friends at Nick-A-Nees at 75 South St, Providence, RI 02903.
