Miles And Maggie Fest

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Mason Porter is scheduled to play around 11 or 12. There are about 25 bands. Each act does only 20 minutes except for Phil D’Agostino as it is his CD release show …and a mighty fine CD it is!

This is going to be a very intimate setting with little to no PA System.  If you plan on attending please be respectful of your noise level when artists are performing.
