Jonathan Takiff analyzes this weekend’s pending riverfun:
On the Jersey river bank (with a great view of Philly) is the bargain-priced but full-value WXPN All About the Music Festival featuring the likes of rock icon Patti Smith, guitar-strumming faves Indigo Girls,Warren Haynes and Loudon Wainwright III, “Duchess of Coolsville” Rickie Lee Jones and twang-rock notables Rodney Crowell, Son Volt and Drive By Truckers.
VERSUS:
On this side of the river is the free admission (!) 20th Anniversary Concert Weekend Celebration at Penn’s Landing, spotlighting blues great Buddy Guy, quirky pop rock vets They Might Be Giants, cult rock legend Adrian Belew and the Philly Pops Orchestra with soulful belter Vivian Green.
