Headlining the bill is Groovy Guy, an internationally traveling professional street performer who is bringing his juggling skills to Great Barrington for the first time.
Stunt comedian Wacky Chad will return as one of Berkshire Busk!’s headlining acts on both Friday, July 5, and Saturday, July 6. Festivities throughout downtown Great Barrington begin at 6:30 p.m.
“Great Barrington is always one of my favorite places to play,” singer-songwriter Katherine Winston said of her upcoming Berkshire Busk! performances. “It’s a place where everyone really seems to enjoy music and all kinds of art. Everyone is very supportive and friendly."
Wacky Chad’s show isn’t as easy as it looks–and it doesn’t look easy at all. But as a professional street performer, the flips and tricks are only half the battle.
On July 21, blues and gospel musician Robin O'Herin will be returning once again to the local Berkshire Busk! festival, which has hosted the performer since its inaugural year.
Hot off the heels of shows at Berkshire Pride, Sheffield Pride, The Barn, Dottie’s, and more, Bella Santarella will take up the mic once again as an emcee for Pride Night at Berkshire Busk! on July 15.
“I just love the whole vibe of playing/busking on the street,” said Noah Robertson, who grew up busking at outdoor markets in Australia. “I love the feeling as the crowd builds. It's awesome when people start dancing, clapping, moving, and getting into it."
