Mason Porter to Release Limited Edition ‘Story of the Rifle’ at Philadelphia Folk Festival

Mason Porter - Story of the Rifle

In celebration of Mason Porter’s scheduled performance at the Philadelphia Folk Festival they are releasing a limited edition (only 50 copies available) album, ‘Story of the Rifle’.  The new album was recorded live in studio and is a mix of traditional folk and cover songs.  You can catch Mason Porter’s performance Saturday August 21st at 1:15pm on the WXPN stage.  While you’re at the festival you can pick up a copy of ‘Story of the Rifle’ at the merchandise tent starting Friday (while supplies last).

I was very excited to download “Creole Belle”, and “Wayfaring Stranger” from ‘Story of the Rifle’ available on the Mason Porter website (www.masonporter.com).  Listening to these tracks reminds me how much I enjoy that Mason Porter sound – it’s wonderful!

[LISTEN] Mason Porter – “Creole Belle”

The first annual Maysie’s FarmFest will be held Saturday, May 22, 2010 at Maysie’s Farm located at: 15 St. Andrew’s Lane, Glenmoore, PA 19343 [Ludwig's Corner, Chester County, PA].  It will be a day of “Great local music, great local food, and a fun day for the entire family!”  The music will be provided by some of Philly’s best artists: Sharon Little, Sisters 3, Hezekiah Jones, Birdie Busch, Chris Kasper, Kuf Knotz, Sweetheart Parade, Bob Beach, Philip D’Agostino, The Great Unknown, The Spinning Leaves, Ross Bellenoit, and Lauren Adams.  Also on the bill are: The Country Devils, and special guest Appalachian Uprising.

Maysie’s Farm Conservation Center is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to improving public understanding of the importance of conservation and ecological thinking. We pursue our mission primarily by working toward a local, sustainable food system. Our advocacy, community development and educational programs address the environmental, social and economic problems of the industrial, chemical based, food system and our farm demonstrates some of the alternatives available through a local, sustainable food system. On our seven acres of organically managed beds, we produce vegetables and fruits for about 200 households through our CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture program, which is in its 14th season. We have also started two seasonal Farmers Markets as well as a Farm and School Partnership with a local elementary school. We created and administer the Sustainable Agriculture Internship Training Alliance of Southeastern Pennsylvania and encourage and facilitate new farmers and the start-up of new farms. We promote organic food production, local food production and the development of community around food production.
