Sometimes, a little DIY ethic can go a long way. In this case, it went as far to bring over 20 folk music acts from across the USA for a two day, all night long festival of music, bonfires, camping, and debauchery. Conceptualized by Philadelphia’s own () , and organized with the help of many in the Philadelphia music community, Miles & Maggie Fest was an astounding success. Considering the true DIY ethic involved in putting it all together, the attendance and talent line up rivaled that of some more well known and commercially sponsored events.

This was actually the second time a festival of this sort was held at the Moonlight Forest (when they aren’t hosting shows, the Moonlight Forest is both a studio and private residence). The first was a little bit more loosely organized and ad-hoc event on October 4, 2008. Emboldened by the success of the last one, Cutrufello and a supportive group of friends and associates pulled off the second one with aplomb.

If you missed it this year, keep your eyes and ears open, as the next show flier you see may be for another one at a yet to be determined date. But make sure you bring your bug spray, a good supply of alcohol, and a sleeping bag, even though you probably won’t get much sleep.

Here is just a partial lineup of acts who played, since as the night got later, the party got wilder and guests were welcomed on stage.
