This year’s River Roots Festival features the finest roots-based musical entertainment from the Delaware River Valley, many of whom are featured on WXPN in Philadelphia. This year we have bands that have toured nationally (Keith Kenny) and internationally (De Tierra Caliente – our first Latin party band) as well as 9-year veteran performer at the Philly Folk Fest (Brad Hinton). Performing too, is a finalist in the Tri-State Indie Awards for Indie Rock Band of the Year (Satellite Hearts); a group making its way through the East Coast Americana scene (Kicking Down Doors); and a family roots musician, whose song, “Funky Monkey,” was a top 10-song of 2014 on WXPN’s Kids Corner (Bobby Beetcut). The rest of the line-up are equally engaging and include: The Shackers, Tim Leslie Family, Sean Ladden and Friends, The Marathon Players, Conor Choi, Easha and Shravya, and Manchester.
The best food trucks of the region will be included in this annual music event. They represent a variety of both Savory and Sweet Food Trucks to choose from, including: Bonjour Creperie, Nina’s Waffles, Greek Street, Kona Ice, Pura Vida Tacos and Dogs, Kevin’s Salad, The Tot Cart, On The Menu, Empanada Guy, and Blossom’s Catering. This is a BYOB event.
