Atkins Corner Woes

Atkins Corner Woes is a new bluegrass protest song straight out of South Amherst, where dreams of development clash with deep-rooted bylaws and wetlands that won’t budge. Inspired by the latest round of Conservation Commission hearings, this tune tells the tale of mixed-use plans, contaminated soil, and the stubborn resilience of nature—and neighbors. With banjo twang and fiddle fire, it’s a front-row seat to a zoning drama unfolding in real time.
