Five acts to catch at Middle of the Map Fest tonight and tomorrow, including Small Black, Candy Claws, Daniel Johnston and more

We’re on a roll around here when it comes to national festivals. Scion Garage Fest descended on Lawrence last summer with armloads of lo-fi pioneers. Now the Record Machine’s Nathan Reusch has booked a smattering of national talent to rock Westport April 8-9 at the Middle of the Map Fest. Here are five national acts that might not swing through this part of the country again soon — and possibly never again on one bill for a cool 25 bucks.
