Appel Farm wows this DC blogger
06/08/2010
I left Elmer, New Jersey tired, sore and boy my feet were dirty but I couldn’t have been happier. I’ll admit, my reason for attending the festival was to see Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, well and of course to bring you everything that was happening, but really, I was super excited for Sharon. What I found was so much more though. From Enter The Haggis (festival favorites) to jazz poet Napalm Da Bomb, I had the chance to experience a very wide range of artists that were sure to tickle any and all patron’s fancies.
These are my feet at the end of the day, it was veery long. But you’re not here to read about my feet. If you are? Well, then I’m sorry, this isn’t the venue.
But getting back to the festival, I wanted to devote a few minutes to the Meadow Stage that, this year, housed the amazing poets that came to share their talents with Appel Farm’s guests. Napalm Da Bomb and the Jazz Poetics were simply amazing. Napalm’s talents by themselves will blow you away but couple that with an awesome jazz band and you have magic in the grove. I’ll let his performance speak for itself.
I’d love to come back next year to cover the next festival and hopefully I’ll be invited back. Until next time kids, you can catch me on my own blog at http://jerzeygrrl.com. Check it out, it’s fun. See ya next year!
