This year\u2019s Most Wanted Song Swap will feature Caitlin Canty, Matt Nakoa, Hayley Reardon and Jean Rohe \u2013 most of whom will also perform under the AcousticMusicScene.com<\/em> tent @ Pirate Camp during the weekend \u2013 as will many of this year\u2019s Emerging Artists Showcase performers.<\/p>\n

Late-Night Musical Revelry is a Festival Highlight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those camping at Falcon Ridge and staying up through the early morning hours can enjoy an array of informal jams, mini-showcases and after-hours song circles that help foster a sense of \u201cfolk\u201d community and a different kind of festival experience. Indeed, the late-night musical revelry is one of the festival\u2019s true highlights, and AcousticMusicScene.com<\/em> has been proud to be a part of it for a number of years \u2013 initially in partnership with Tribes Hill and, since 2012, with Pirate Camp.<\/p>\n

The musical revelry under the AcousticMusicScene.com tent kicks-off late Thursday night, July 30, after the music ends on The Lounge Stage that is hosted by Pesky J. Nixon and friends. Pre-arranged, invitational late-night song swaps also are set for Friday and Saturday overnight after the music ends on the Main Stage. An hour-long sea chantey sing-along, led by Stuart Markus of the folk harmony trio Gathering Time, takes place on Saturday from 5-6 p.m., while spontaneous informal song circles and jams may break out at other times. <\/p>\n

More than five years after Jack Hardy\u2019s passing, Pirate Camp retains much of its initial warm spirit of camaraderie \u2014 with folks stopping by throughout the day to share a tune or just schmooze. The partnership with AcousticMusicScene.com and the addition of invitational song swaps has added a new element that is designed in part to help keep Pirate Camp alive and vibrant.<\/p>\n

Three-day festival tickets are $180 with camping or $145 without camping. Single-day tickets are also available. Gates open for campers on Wednesday afternoon, July 29.
