Everyone's favorite Philly-based-member-supported -adult-alternative radio station, WXPN 88.5 FM, is putting on their annual XPoNential Music Festival this July 24-26. I have volunteered for this event years past, and I must say this line-up blows away any of the previous years. I remember one year the friday night headliner was Tower of Power and their "hip new artist" was Ryan Shaw. Yea, it was all alittle too "family" oriented.
And yea, there are some family duds this year (Los Straightjackets, Robert Cray, Steve Forbert) but there is also a lot of really good stuff. Headliners Aimee Mann, Annuals, and Peter Bjorn & John are all pretty legit, and the rest of the line-up reads like a who's who of Philly -related talent (Matt Duke, Hoots & Hellmouth, Good Old War, Andrew Lipke, etc.) I'm gonna try to be there, and preferably not as a volunteer....
