IF YOU WANT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR 2010 POPFEST NEW ENGLAND DO NOT LEAVE US A MESSAGE ON MYSPACE!
Email popfest [at] skippingstonesrecords.com with "POPFEST" in the subject line!

We assure you that this is not the end. We already miss the great people and bands that we bring together and the new people and bands that we meet. We hope to return again with Popfest! New England in Northampton, MA in 2010.

We have all been affected in some way or another in our current global economic downturn. We have “tightened our belts” and have made the smart decision to postpone this year’s Popfest New England. We want our Popfest to be the best that it can be. We want it to grow and this past year was not a year of growth for many.

On a positive note, we are concentrating our efforts on our band, Singing Bridges, and hope to release a new EP in the next few months on Skipping Stones. We’ll be playing shows in the greater New England area very soon, so keep us on your radar.

Be well, William & Christine
