We’ve had festivals of one kind or another for a month—and it’s not ever. There’s a great one in New Jersey this weekend.
Here’s what’s up.

The venerable, not to be missed Timlin & Kane will appear at one of their old stomping grounds, Brittingham’s, 640 Germantown Pike in Lafayette Hill. If you haven’t heard them—and that’s hard to believe, given their longevity—by all means, do.
