This year, like others, the musical acts won't disappoint with a line-up of national and local acts that will offer something for everyone, including headliner Jake Clemons, the nephew of the late Clarence Clemons who currently tours and plays sax with Bruce Springsteen’s E-Street Band.
The brainchild of the popular music event is producer Joe D’Urso, who has worked in the music business since the early 90s promoting, performing and managing talent. His connections lends a hand when it comes to booking top talent including this year's impressive lineup.
Besides Clemons, other top-notch favorites performing include John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band; Adam Falcon; singer-songwriter Christine Ohlman; Steve Forbert, and D’Urso’s band, Joe D’Urso & Stone Caravan.
But the music doesn't stop there with other heavy hitters poised to take the stage as well including local acts Rex Fowler and the Rockability Kings, Tim O’Donohue and TMU Band, Neil Berg, Rita Harvey, Patrick Stanfield Jones, Isabella Rose, the Tommy Dunn Band and Scott Wolfson & Other Heroes.
One of D'Uro's main reasons behind the festival is to raise funds for some 16 local charities including Habitat for Humanity, Why Hunger and Meals on Wheels, among others.
