Soupstock Music Lineup Revealed

On April 2 the Soupstock Festival proudly announced its 2013 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 will take place Saturday June 8, at Veteran’s Park in Shelton from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Music Director Joe Mango unveiled 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 2013, Brooklyn’s nine-piece powerhouse, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds, will co-headline with returning favorite Kung Fu, who are in the midst of their own regional tour.

Performers at this year’s festival also include Vermont Funk troupe The Main Squeeze, Will Evans & Jeff Howard of Barefoot Truth and McLovins fame, local favorites The Alpaca Gnomes, Hubinger Street, Old School, Bobby Paltauf Band, Wandering Roots, festival staple Newton Crosby, The Nameless Trio, Terri Lynn, Hannah Fair, Back From Earth and The String Fingers Band.

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 the 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 4th Annual Pro/Am Soup Cook-Off. 

Proceeds will benefit the Mary A. Schmecker Turtle Shell Fund, furthering Art, Craft and Music Education for children and Young Adults.
