The Pleasantville Music Fest has signed up the biggest musical act in its six years of existence, booking Jakob Dylan–no, not that other Dylan–for this year’s event on July 10. (The Missus’ first reaction: I’m sitting in the front row. He’s cute.)
We go every year and it’s great fun, even if we wish the organizers would offer fresher acts, as opposed to their apparent fixation on bands that were popular 15 years ago. (Witness Joan Osborne two years ago, Big Head Todd last year, and Rusted Root–you know, those hippie “Send Me On My Way” guys that your roommate used to blast out of his boombox–this year.)
The event is completely outdoors, with multiple stages, and is a quick walk from the Pleasantville train station, which we had the pleasure of commuting from Tuesday.
The festival is part of what makes Priusville Pleasantville unique, and what made it the Best Damn Commuter Town Period last year, as voted on by readers of Trainjotting. Also making it unique–the county’s only brewery in Captain Lawrence, which will be set up at the festival.
Also performing this year: Kevin Bacon’s “Bacon Brothers” outfit (thank you sir, may I have another…song?) and Carney.
