July 10, 2026: Live at Berkshire Busk 2026!

We’re on the road, exploring a festival bringing performing arts of all sorts to the southern Berkshires all summer long.Starting as we were beginning to head outside again just after lockdown in order to bring more life and engagement downtown, Berkshire Busk has been placing performers on the streets and corners of downtown Great Barrington since 2021, and in the intervening years in addition to growing in scope, they’ve also become a non-profit as well. So we’re broadcasting from the stage in the heart of W.E.B. DuBois’ hometown to get a preview of what performances lie ahead for this very weekend.We’ll hear from the organizers of Berkshire Busk: Gene Carr and Carli Scolforo and learn about the festival’s origins, it’s impact on the town itself, and the many types of performances you can catch over the course of the summer months. And then because more visual performing arts are hard to describe on radio, we’ll hear from some of the musicians whose music you can hear this weekend all around town, Rees Shad, Colby Lewis, Steve Ide, Kat Winston & Michael Aaron,  all of whom have distinct takes on music they’ll share with all of us their enthusiastic public.
