The 2019 Beardfest: a three-day celebration of creative expression June 13th-15th in Hammonton, NJ
Beardfest is a three day celebration of creative expression that strives to enliven the artist in everyone. Beardfest offers attendees the opportunity to unplug in South Jersey’s beautiful Pinelands Preserve while enjoying music that spans an incredibly wide range of genres; but their definition of entertainment goes far beyond the spectator/performer dichotomy. At Beardfest, attendees have the opportunity to collaborate on large scale murals throughout the campgrounds, practice yoga, participate in a variety of collaborative music making activities, and share ideas & stories in curated workshops.
Having just released their 2019 lineup on Monday, Beardfest is chock-full of amazing talent this year with local, regional, and national acts which will surely draw a crowd. First curated in 2012 by local jam-prog masters, Out of The Beardspace, this year Beardfest will be hosting acts like The New Deal, Too Many Zooz, Anomalie live band, The Main Squeeze, Nerve, Ghost-Note, Yellow Dubmarine, Becca Stevens, People's Blues of Richmond, Grimace Federation, Hungry Ghost, Gnarbot, Edenspore, Medusa's Disco, Trap Rabbit, Minka, West Philadelphia Orchestra, Wednesday Night Titans, Deep Creature, Pansong, Euphonious, Hepner's Rebellion, The Underwater Sounds, the young talent of Zachademy of Music, and many more.
Beardfest will also host a slew of events during the three day festival including various workshops and select vendors who will be camped out with us all weekend. Once again, on-site will be team ROMPUS, who create large-scale improvisational paintings inspired by surrounding people and sounds, playing with light, shadow, resists, dance, and color to create vibrant, theatrical art. As they paint, their bodies are hidden from the audience but also backlit, so their shadows become part of their work. They pay homage to the natural world with imagery from cellular and galactic structures, animals, plants and life cycles. ROMPUS is also dedicated to creating spontaneous, collaborative spaces all around the festival grounds for everybody to paint. This year the ROMPUS team will take live art at Beardfest to a new level with scrims enveloping the stage, an expanded community painting area, and some surprise tricks they have hidden up their sleeves. Joining the festivities this year will be Tamed Flame Productions with an array of talented fire performers.
