The event will feature both new and established artists.

The Winterfolk looks interesting. But to my way-out-west-in-Kansas way of thinking, the NJ festival looks like a waste of time if you don't live in the NYC metro/Philly metro area. If you have any more of these things that are a little more--um--out in the provinces, dare I say, bring 'em on.

Well, it is a PA-based mail list, but it covers the whole east coast and beyond.
