While the "Eastside" indie rock scene has been garnering much attention, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that The New Los Angeles Folk Festival is this Saturday at Historical Monument 157 in Lincoln Heights.

In addition, the festival will offer projections, charity raffle, beard contest, The Little Frenchie food truck, and surprises, with proceeds benefiting the Environmental Defense Fund's Gulf cleanup. more ›
