The great thing about being so late to releasing the August mixtape is that September is here, and the mixtape is ready to go.

Swedish sister duo First Aid Kit were days away from releasing their third album, Stay Gold, and played a number of fantastic new songs, while Massachusetts’ very own Willy Mason hushed the rowdy all-ages crowd with an opening set that delivered a heartfelt message of hope and redemption. It’s hard to believe that Johanna and Klara Söderberg released their debut album, The Big Black…
