The Philadelphia Folk Festival committee announced at Johnny Brenda’s yesterday this year’s lineup for its 51st annual event that will be taking place on August 17 – 19 at the Old Pool Farm in Upper Salford Township, near Schwenksville, PA. Locals that you should set aside time during the weekend to catch are Strand of Oaks a.k.a. Tim Showalter (it should be interesting to see if he’ll be picking up the guitar again or giving the diehard folkies a taste of the synths that he’s mentioned being obsessed about lately), Chris Kasper and Griz. We were treated to sets by the latter two at yesterday’s announcement. National touring artists like Wanda Jackson, Steve Earle and the Dukes, Little Feat, The Wooden Sky, City & Colours, Arborea, Chris Bathgate and many more will anchor down the weekend. Individual daily tickets start at $52.00, including the 20% Early Bird Discount, or you can attend all three days for $116.00. Add in tent camping and you get an additional concert on Thursday night for a total of $156.00. You can purchase your tickets as well as view the rest of the festival’s lineup and info HERE.
