Well now that everything settled down from this weekend. I would like to thank all the bands that played such wonderful music for our ears & mind! Starting with Friday night with the Still Hand String Band for 4 + hours of such creative tunes. It was raining but with the pavilion there was plenty of dancin going on. Saturday the clouds were breaking & Julie & Kris Kehr & friends took the stage to start off a full day of surprises. We had a young talent named Greg Sover that really impressed the crowd...watch for this up & coming musician. Next we had for the 1st time Pan acoustic & these boys didn't let anyone down. Following in tradition we had Ernie & the Turnips a big favorite at the Philly Folk Fest entertain the fest goers.Our 1st Father & son duo with Mike Sr. & Mike Jr. gracing us with such beautiful acoustics. I now see where MiZ gets his talent from it's in the genes. Another 1st was the creation from Mysterytrain called Moonshine Love bringing that acoustic sound for all to hear. Now we can call this next band of all-stars Garcia Grass or Gar-Cab Grass. Thanks to Anthony Hannigan for putting this 1st every collection of band members together for all of us at the Kempton Music Center. It was 2 1/2 hours of pure joy & history that left nobody standing still. I will never forget this night of true musicians that came together for the love of music from there hearts. This is why we have these fests for those moments that can never be replaced or duplicated.

Always a big thanks to Larry for the sound production with Starground & Jason & Matt the two hardest working kids I know.
To Chris & the whole PlusVibes Team for the great security & lighting for the weekend! To Jo Johnson who does so much behind the scenes for me & having those beautiful flowers on the stage.

To all of you that came out to support us. I know the weather didn't start off to good but as you came with your good vibes so did the weather. This weekend was one not to miss you never know what is going to happen next. As they say there is something magical about those valleys in Kempton.

Thanks to all Rob
