(MONTCLAIR, NJ) -- When Tierney's Tavern celebrated its 80th anniversary last year with a hugely successful festival, there was little doubt it would become an annual event. The festival returns on Saturday, May 30 with another free show featuring 13 bands on three stages. The event features performances by Brave New Girl, The Karyn Kuhl Band, Thomas Wesley Stern, Bone & Marrow, The Porchistas, Accidental Seabirds, The Defending Champions, The One & Nines, The Big Drops, Post Sun Times, Enzo & The Bakers, The Chris O'Leary Band, and Thousand Mile Stare.
Doors open at 11:30am. The event is open to all ages until 8pm and 21 and up from 9pm on. Food trucks, craft vendors, and beer trucks will be on premise. The Commonwealth Club brings back the dunk tank (one of the highlights of last year's festival) with all proceeds going to the Montclair Ambulance Unit.
Here's a look at the performers.
Brave New Girl - Brave New Girl has been a staple of the New York City music scene since the 1990s, fusing jazz, soul and reggae into a new and original sound.
The Karyn Kuhl Band - Dirty psychedelic rocknroll blues w/ hypnotic beats and ethereal vocals that will haunt you in your sleep.
