Philebrity is once again honored to curate the music for this year’s Art Star Craft Bazaar, to be held May 11 & 12 at Penn’s Landing here in Philadelphia. This year, we’re happy to bring you two whole days of free local music, with a dozen bands hand-selected to reflect some of the best roots/indie music Philly has to offer. Among them: The Bailey Hounds, who are quickly becoming Philly’s premiere high, loud and lonesome alt-country band; Arrah & The Ferns, the gripping South Philly rock band fronted by the charismatic Arrah Fisher; TJ Kong & The Atomic Bomb, whose latest record, Manufacturing Joy, contains some real deal Basement Tapes dark magic; Cherokee Red, hailing from Wilkes-Barre and cute as a button; The Fleeting Ends, whose new record Our Eyes Are Peeled is beginning to turn heads nationwide; and yes, even our editor Joey Sweeney is in the act this year with a new 10-piece band called Long Hair Arkestra. And that’s just the beginning. In the coming weeks, we’ll show you more of the lineup. |
