Judson Mantz & Area 38 - Saturday, August 2

Judson Mantz is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. Not just local singer/songwriters, I'm including all singer songwriters. He's a bright, deep, articulate, feeling individual, and an impressive artist. Jud's music is the culmination of more than 30 years of creation. It spans solo work and his work with bands including 3-D Betty, Remnants of Betty, August Room, and now Area 38. He has appeared at Moonstock for many years, with both August Room and Remnants of Betty and this year, we'll be hearing from Area 38. Catherine and I attended the Area 38 CD release party at Pine Grove Hall on Friday June 28, and it was special! My expectations were high, as I have loved their music for years, but my expectations were exceeded. I'm looking forward to seeing them again, with you, my fun friends.

Here's how they describe Area 38...

"Area 38 is a dynamic five-piece band that showcases a rich selection of all-original music, combining elements of fun, funk, and introspective themes. Their sound is characterized by catchy melodies and engaging rhythms that invite listeners to both dance and think.

The band members are:

Ed Kenepp - lead vocals and guitar

Judson Mantz - lead vocals and guitar

Joyce Furfaro - keys and vocals

Lynn Chaplin - bass guitar

John Lynch - drums" (and vocals)

Friday, August 22 - "Tussey Mountain Moonshiners"
