Green Harbor Roots Festival at Marshfield Fair offered musical experience, fun

The 19th annual Green Harbor Roots Festival showcased some of the best and most rockin’ roots music around. Cloudy and overcast but never rainy, the event took place in cool, comfortable weather, and the turnout over the course of the eight hour event topped three hundred. And that’s not bad for a roots festival that some may have thought was going to get rained out.

Jacob Anthony Butler achieves on his latest More To Offer CD an emotional honesty within a warm, pristine sound. He milks each vocal note in his singer-songwriter approach as each of his support players do so on their instruments. Good to the last drop might be a way to describe it.

Yet, within their tightly packed sounds are tiny, shiny gems, nuggets of good guitar phrasing, riffing, tricky drum fills, and a steady bass holding up the song architectures.
