Soupstock Festival proudly announces its 2014 music lineup bringing together national and local touring acts and exciting newcomers to the stage.
The Festival once again invites area residents of all ages to come and experience an arts, music and culinary experience like no other. The annual event has expanded to two days and will take place Saturday June 21 and Sunday June 22 at Veteran’s Park in Shelton.
Music Director Joe Mango unveils a lineup that follows the contour of previous festivals celebrating the best in local talent to match national acts otherwise reserved for ticketed events.
New for 2014, NYC power rock duo the London Souls co-headline with returning favorite Kung Fu who are in the midst of their own regional tour. Also sharing top billing are the Caravan of Thieves, who are making their first appearance at Soupstock.
Performers at this year’s festival also include Alan Evans’ PlayOnBrother, The Jen Durkin Band, Turbine, the BRYAC Funk Allstars, Bobby Paltauf Band, The Z3, Renard Boissiere and Nardy Boy, The Backyard Committee and more.
The full lineup is available at the Soupstock Festival website.
Established in 2010, the Soupstock Festival has grown organically into one of Connecticut’s leading independent arts and music events.
The festival has earned its reputation by attracting premier talent across all mediums to provide a landscape meant to please all the senses. The festival’s mixture of arts, cuisine and culture means there is something for everyone.
Our local craft market will be larger than ever and the kids fun zone once again provides a safe interactive environment for children of all ages. These compliment annual staples such as the Student Art Competition and the 5th Annual Pro/Am Soup Cook-Off in addition to the first annual Chili Cook-Off to take place Sunday the 22nd. Information regarding submissions to both can be found by visiting the festivals website.
Proceeds will benefit the Mary A. Schmecker Turtle Shell Fund, furthering Art, Craft and Music Education for children and Young Adults.
