[POSTPONED: March 17, 2020] Kevin Devine / Petal / Jaded Hart / Pearla
The Asbury Park Music + Film Festival was scheduled for April 23-26.
There was going to be a lot of Music and movies at various locations throughout Asbury Park.
I actually wasn’t interested in the festival, but I was quite interested in seeing Kevin Devine (especially after his Kenny O’Brien St. Patrick’s Day show was cancelled).
Unsurprisingly, the entire Festival has been postponed, with the intention of rescheduling this summer.
Kevin Devine and the Goddamn Band was one of my favorite recent shows. Having seen him with the full band, I was interested to see him solo again (I’ve seen him solo twice).
I have also seen Petal twice before. The first time she was solo, the second time with a full band. While I didn’t really need to see her again, she puts on an emotionally charged show and since she and Kevin are mates, I’m sure they would have done something together.
I hadn’t heard of Jaded Hart and when I looked them up, I misspelled the name as Jaded Heart which brought up a German metal band which seemed–incongruous. Looking up Jaded Hart, though, I can’t find much of anything about them. There’s a musician named Christopher Wilkerson who comes up in the search, but his Jaded Hart is a cover band from the 1990s. But I’m thinking it’s not that Jaded Hart.
Pearla is a 23 year old singer-songwriter from Brooklyn. She sings a kind of mildly psychedelic folk pop.
I’m quite curious what the lineup will look like come summer time.
