Families share music, games, and good vibes
CANTON - Last year, the Life is good Festival was a curiosity, fusing a wholesome family show of the sort the namesake clothing company used to present for free on the Boston Common to a bona fide rock and pop fest. Year one raised a bunch of money for charity and the spirits of those hungry for a big music gathering that doesn’t skew to teens or metalheads.
Year two, which played out Saturday and yesterday at Prowse Farm, simply raised the bar in every way. A lineup featuring Ray LaMontagne, the Avett Brothers, and Boston Pops-enhanced performances by both Brandi Carlile and the Levon Helm Band lured audiences that surpassed 10,000 people each day. And through fest profits and associated fund-raising activities, more than $1 million was collected for the Life is good Kids Foundation.

LIFE IS GOOD FESTIVAL DAY 1 REVIEW (THE AVETT BROTHERS, MICHAEL FRANTI and MORE)
