Last year, the people who attended the festival saw Cassandra Coldman, Ben Kweller, Dora Jar, Mike Birbiglia, Joyce Manor and Bleachers perform live.
According to newnoisemagazine.com, while a majority of the lineup was rooted in a similar musical genre, the author appreciated the addition of local New Jersey-based comedian Mike Birbiglia to the day and the writer said: “I think more shows and festivals should have a comedy act; it was an entertaining break from the action-packed musical sets.” Last year say the Bleachers and their fans have an undeniable bond that unites them and surely, this year’s festival will impact people’s lives as well. Also, the reporter did state that “While I’ve attended countless numbers of shows at this point in my lifetime, this one felt remarkably heartfelt and intimate for an event so large. ”
