Amythyst Kiah, Patty Larkin, The Dirty Grass Players, and More to Play Folk Weekend at People's Light

Catch some of today's most talented and innovative artists in Malvern at the first-ever Folk Weekend at People's Light July 24-25. Each day begins with a 1pm drive-in concert, followed by an intimate performance in The Glen, home to the Theatre's new outdoor stage with lawn seating. Then enjoy a beverage and summer fare at The Farmhouse at People's Light-open throughout the afternoon-before each day ends with a final drive-in concert. Day passes and individual drive-in concert tickets available. Learn more at peopleslight.org. People's Light is located at 39 Conestoga Road, Malvern, PA.

Saturday's lineup features Patty Larkin, the visionary singer-songwriter The New York Times called "a virtuoso...comparable to the best of Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams;" Jeremiah Tall & The Lore, a Bucks County native with a "foot-stomping howl of a sound;" and Amythyst Kiah, one of the fastest-rising stars on the scene, receiving high praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and NPR -if you want to say you saw her "before she was famous," this is your chance!

Sunday's artists include internationally renowned singer-songwriter Sean Rowe, whose music has been featured throughout film and television; Philly favorite Adam Monaco, who recently appeared on WHYY's House Concert Series; and The Dirty Grass Players, a four-piece band known for pushing genre boundaries-from bluegrass to newgrass-with their blazing musicianship.

Single-day passes are $175 per day, per vehicle up to 5 passengers, and get you access to Saturday or Sunday's full lineup. (That's less than $15 per concert, per person for parties of 4 or 5!) Or purchase individual drive-in concert tickets to Patty Larkin, Amythyst Kiah, Sean Rowe, or The Dirty Grass Players for $75 per vehicle. Concerts in The Glen-Jeremiah Tall & The Lore and Adam Monaco-are only available as part of a day pass due to the intimate venue size.
