JIM'S BIG EGO: unpop for the unpopulous!

On Aug. 17, Touchable Stories will be sponsoring a free revival folk festival in Hopkinton honoring the Old Vienna Kaffeehaus. Billed as a “nostalgic journey” through the venue’s history, the event will feature more than a dozen artists and special guests.

“This is a first of its kind event,” said singer/songwriter Barbara Kessler, a Hopkinton resident and host of the event. “It’s been over 25 years since the club closed.”

Notable performers in the lineup include Jim Infantino, Peter Mulvey and Grammy-winning country songwriter Lori McKenna.
