National Life Group’s Do Good Fest — an annual benefit concert for Vermont Foodbank — transforms Montpelier into a mecca for early-2000s music lovers. Readers of a certain age (looking at you, millennials) understand the import of this year’s bill: pop-rock sensations and emo-girl heartthrobs Plain White T’s and multiplatinum-selling alt-indie rockers the Fray, whose hit “How to Save a Life” was memorably featured in the steamy medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy.” Festival favorite Sammy Rae & the Friends add to the stellar lineup. Food trucks, a beer garden, a nonprofit “village” and fireworks enhance the good vibes.
