Billy Bragg – A New England, By Holly Homan

Illustrious English singer/songwriter Billy Bragg blends elements of folk with punk all with twangy but grinding acoustic guitar licks. Bragg’s songs focus a lot on left wing politics, pointing out injustices of war and crimes against humanity. Some of his songs are about relationships. Imagine Woody Guthrie meets Bob Dylan meets Joe Strummer and combine Bragg’s humorous story ramblings between songs and charming personality and you’re in for one stellar show.
