On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Haverford Music Festival will return to our two stages at the Oakmont School!
We are thrilled to announce our headliners for the 14th annual Haverford Music Festival! This year, we’re marking America’s 250th anniversary by welcoming a lineup of uniquely American performers to our two stages.
The family-friendly music festival will feature a full day’s worth of entertainment, headlined by Grammy Award–nominated singer-songwriter Shannon McNally; the eclectic guitar virtuosity of blues artist Buffalo Nichols; and the inventive bluegrass harmonies of Demolition String Band.
A Grammy nominee who has released 14 albums, Shannon McNally will close the festival with her soulful mix of country, blues, roots, and Americana.
Also appearing on our Barry Gutman Stage will be guitar virtuoso Buffalo Nichols, whose eclectic blues sound draws on influences ranging from punk and West African music to classic Americana.
Last but not least, the headliners will be joined by Demolition String Band, a country-rock outfit based in Hoboken, NJ. They’ve opened up for the Avett Brothers and Joan Osborne, and will bring their rustic harmonies and “boho bluegrass” sound to the HMF stage.
