A Day at WXPN

Spent a great day at WXPN seeing old friends and discussing our festival with some of the people who help make the station one of the best of its kind in the country, people like (Roger LaMay, Ali Castellini, Debby Zeitz, Michaela Majoun). Ran into Robert Berliner of Hoots & Hellmouth and manager Biff Kennedy who are excited about performing on Carmel Green. Many of the station's volunteers who annually make the journey to our festival and many other events in the region also love the lineup and look forward to spending a day in the Garden (State). Every artist in this years' lineup had fans today. The Philadelphia/South Jersey/Delaware areas will be well represented by Nik Everett, 61 North,  Nora Whittaker and Hoots & Hellmouth. Rising star Eilen Jewell had her share of admirers as well and some of the national radio folks in town for their conference said her CD is one of the  best  released on her label. The funky rock brass band Bonerama from New Orleans have a great reputation for their creative sound. Generating a great buzz is Grace Potter and the Nocturnals who have been the hit of many festivals across the country and even greater things are predicted for this band when their new Fall CD is released produced by T Bone Burnett. There is no one like 1960' s Folk Troubador Arlo Guthrie who always tells a great story between his own songs or those written by his father Woody or friend Steve Goodman. As you can tell it was a great day as the countdown has begun for Saturday, June 20.
