The 39th LEAF festival rolls around this weekend — it actually kicked off on Thursday for its most dedicated attendees. Dozens of artists perform on six stages around Lake Eden. If you’re planning to go, here’s a sample of the music. And if you missed out on a chance to buy tickets (they’re sold only in advance), you can live-stream the main stage at IamAVL.com. More about that here.
On this week’s playlist:
• “Railroad” by Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn from their self-titled album
• “Snake Charmer,” by HoveyKraft, from Alpha.
• “I Mua,” by Nahko and Medicine for the People, from Dark As Night
• “Waitin for the DJ,” by Talib Kweli (feat. Bilal), from Quality
• “House of Stone,” by Mandolin Orange, from This Side of Jordan
• “My Money Never Runs Out,” by Dom Flemons, from Prospect Hill
