Listening to the ⁦XPN Morning Show⁩ play “Watermelon Man” immediately makes me want to go back to two weeks ago when Charlie Hall did Headhunters in its entirety at Solar Myth for the ⁦Philly Music Fest⁩ !

Here’s a slice o’ that watermelon of goodness!

After an amazing week of shows and after fairly compensating the musicians and paying each independent venue - the nonprofit Philly Music Fest will again be donating $100,000 to music education programs, ensuring that kids in our region have access and opportunity.

This time last week, we were reeling from seeing 24 artists in seven days for Philly Music Fest 2023. From Kurt Vile to The War on Drugs' Charlie Hall, Ryan Gilfillian and Sophie Coran to 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗲 and Church Girls, check out our complete rundown: xpn.org/2023/10/16/phi…
