Coastal Rhode Island will get some top-shelf roots music when the 26th annual Rhythm & Roots Music Festival comes to Charleston on August 30th, 31st, and September 1st. The event, which began as a zydeco/cajun show and has blossomed into a full-blown roots festival, will bring headliners Emmylou Harris, Old Crow Medicine Show, Drive-By Truckers, and Larkin Poe to Ninigret Park in 2024.
Rhythm & Roots will host 30 bands across three stages, with Harris making her debut at the festival. Rising Nashville guitarist Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country will help fill out the 2024 Rhythm & Roots lineup, which also includes a bit of soul and funk from Brooklyn seven-piece Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, New Orleans institution Rebirth Brass Band, and Canadian gothic folkers The Strumbellas. The undercard includes up-and-coming acts like Ruthie Foster, Shemekia Copeland, GA-20, Glen David Andrews, Billy Keane, Grady Spencer & The Work, Yarn, Cousin Curtiss, Will Evans, and Julia Pratt, along with many more.
