I think all of the performers are local to the Champlain Valley area. While some of them, like Robert Resnik and Sarah Blair are very good, it's kind of a sadly pale line up for a festival that used to book the likes of Tom Paxton, Eric Bibb, Richie Havens, Utah Phillips, Jesse Winchester, Steve Gillette, Anne Hills, Tom Russell, Guy Van Duser, Bill Staines, The Short Sisters, Mike Seeger, Pete Seeger, Peggy Seeger, Jay Ungar & Molly Mason, and so many other folk greats. I don't think I'll be making 7 hour drive to attend this year.
