The Philadelphia Folk Festival celebrates its golden anniversary this year, with many acts that have played the fest innumerable times through the years coming back to the Old Pool Farm. Arlo Guthrie, Tom Paxton, Tom Rush, and Jorma Kaukonen are in category.
Old hands who've appeared slightly less often include the 11-piece David Bromberg Big Band, which shares a bill with Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue on Saturday afternoon, and Levon Helm, who headlines on Sunday. Local talent includes Birdie Busch, Hoots & Hellmouth, Suzie Brown, and Jim Boggia.
