WGBH and The Boston Globe have teamed again to bring you a weekend packed with arts and music for the entire family, featuring a great new lineup of performers coming to the heart of Boston at Copley Square.
Born in Galicia, Spain, Carlos Nuñez began playing the bagpipes at the age of eight. He met Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains as a teenager and later became known as the "7th member" of the band. Watch this WGBH Music video of his performance at The Burren pub in Somerville, and see him again at Copley Square this summer.
Highlights include musical acts from across the spectrum of jazz, bluegrass, rock, folk, Latin, and Celtic music, as well as street performers, food trucks, and local artists. (See the full schedule.)
