We’re stoked to welcome The Lemonade Stand to Swell Folk Festival this year, powering our second stage and bringing a little of their own magic to Lippitt Park.

The Lemonade Stand has quickly become one of our favorite parts of Providence’s creative community. It felt natural to join forces.

Come find The Lemonade Stand at Swell on September 20th.

Big Nice x Swell Folk Festival - Hawk in the Nest “Pickup Truck”

Even sold your pickup truck
When I was down on my luck
And how did I repay
I left you down to die in Tennessee
Now I’m trying to understand
Is this the folly of a man
Or can I be forgiven for what I’ve done
Sincerely, your disgrace of an only son
