The New Hampshire Folk Festival takes place this weekend in Portsmouth. A broad range of local artists will perform, from more traditional acts like Tommy Makem and Bill Morrissey to newer musicians on the scene including Dan Blakeslee, and Deirdre Randall. We'll talk with Wire Magazine's Music editor Jon Nolan about the different acts, and we'll play lots of music by the artists involved. Our guest, Jon, is also one of the musicians on the lineup, so he'll bring his guitar along with him to to our studio to perform a song or two of his own.
