Watch this list as we announce news over the next months.
- A super-special time – Memorial Weekend:
This holiday weekend will infuse our event with special energy. It will kick off the summer with a fabulous get-away, and you can still get home for your picnic on Monday.
- A splendid new location:
Camp Bernie, 40 minutes from Morristown in Port Murray, NJ. We're very excited about everything this new site offers.
- The Festival you love with lots of new twists:
There's gonna be more fun per minute than you ever thought possible.
- The ABSOLUTELY PERFECT headline act – Jay and Molly!
- You can say hello to the real Farewell:
Everybody and his mother plays the evocative Ashokan Farewell. You might as well hear it played by the master who wrote it.
- The Civil War was never really that Civil!
Hear Jay and Molly recreate its music without any of the accompanying blood and gore. How nice.
- Hot fiddlin' that won't burn!
We're talkin' world class musicianship from two great community leaders and downright wonderful people. Get your awe quotient, and more than a few "Golly Jay's" and "Good Golly, Miss Molly's."
- You gotta love Bernie.
Homey and plentiful workshop and jamming spaces ... complete with fireplaces, comfy furniture and rustic porches.
- Hollywood Beckons!
Star in your own personal Weekend at Bernie's and be the first one on your block to make a joke reference to the movie.
- Mother Nature is on the payroll.
Sunny days, warm nights -- Memorial weekend has the most glorious weather of the year.
- We know where Santa Claus hides out Memorial Weekend.
Naughty or nice, he'll be happier if you join us. Stuff that in your stocking.
- It's a little bread and a lot of jam!
It's a fabulous low cost mini-vacation, with lots of great music on and off the stage. Lots of chances for players to play and for listeners to enjoy.
- Shockenaw will blow you away.
Without all the shrapnel of Shock & Awe.
- Take a ride on Railroad Earth without the long ticket lines.
Thousands of fans would love to see this RR Earth subset up close like we will.
- Shockenaw vocals are produced by a Carbone-based life form.
Tim Carbone is awesome. So is Andy Goessling. And John and Johnny. An incredible band.
- Annie and her pals aren't called Hedonists for nothin!
They were one of our all time most fun Festival performers.
- Hedonists know how to play.
With their mix of early blues, bluegrass, country, Celtic, Tin Pan Alley tunes and contemporary acoustic music, they resist easy categorization.
- Jonny "Hedonist" Rosen's uncle co-wrote "Charlie on the MTA."
Unlike Charlie, Hedonists know how to get off.
- Matthew Broady must have something!
He stood out among all the talent at our last festival...and we are a talented bunch!.
- Julie Edelston: Her charm is delightful...
And her talent is amazing.
- We have a GREAT Family program!
The cheapest part of the $461,143.72 it costs to raise a kid is the $85 you'll spend on this three-day vacation.
- We'll have you climbing the walls.
We mean literally. We've got climbing walls.
- Every registration comes with a free supply of fresh mountain air.
And miles of trails and plenty of outdoor activity.
- You can drink your own weight in free coffee.
And you'll need it to keep up with the non-stop fun!
- Big Jeff is bigger than Sponge Bob!
(We're talkin' height here.)
- You can join the Learn It, Sing It Choir and neither learn it, nor sing it.
Just move your lips.
- You can bring the wife and kids...
They'll have an absolute blast while you're off jamming.
- You can leave the wife and kids home...
We're not judgmental.
- If this weekend gets any more wholesome, the FDA will label it organic.
- Nothing is more square than a round robin.
Take that, Pythagoras.
- Saturday night campfire: Sing Along with S'mores.
Can you think of anything more delightful?
- Avoid the Jersey Shore this Memorial Weekend.
Both the beach and the reality show.
- There's no business like show business,
and folk music certainly qualifies as no business.
- Whether he comes or not, we're inviting Springsteen.
- No TV. No Internet. No Video Games.
Just a bunch of adults and kids enjoying actual life.
- The price per note is very reasonable.
The price per smile? Priceless.
- Diane Perry will teach you so much about phrasing,
Tony Bennett will ask to be on YOUR next duet album.
- We'll solve your chord problem with our C-9-9-9 plan.
- The dress code is "no tiara".
- Wouldn't you rather use your hammer, bell, and song at Camp Bernie than all over this land?
- Unlike Prince, folk singers can party like it's 1899.
- You finally figured out what the @!# a Vocalotto is!
- ...and next we'll show you what the @!# a Threebie is!
Stay tuned!
