The all day festival will be carried live over WUSB 90.1fm  9/6 – Return of Folk Legend Bob Westcott.7 PM The Babylon Green Party will host an encore performance of songwriter Bob Westcott.  His one-a-kind performance last September demanded a return engagement.  Westcott is known for his flawless performances both as a solo singer/songwriter and as a bass player for the geriatric blues band The Debrillators and the political rockers Blacklisted and the Banned.  Inspired by the intimate setting and a recent Arlo Guthrie performance, Westcott’s appearance at the Babylon Greens last year was more of a kitchen table performance featuring rambling talking-blues storytelling and impromptu covers from his youth.Westcott been called the “real deal”, and for good reason:  Westcott has been performing his elegant finger style guitar work for over 30 years. During the Sixties, he played in the basket houses of Greenwich Village, then moved to
Manchester, England to explore the British Folk Scene. During the Seventies, Westcott traveled throughout Canada and the US, living in the Midwest, California and Upstate NY before settling on
Eastern Long Island. His astonishing finger style guitar work and universally resonant songwriting have made him a perennial favorite on the Long Island scene, and his debut album Rollin’ Along captures that beautifully. His latest CD release, Wherever You Go, is a beautifully crafted exploration of instrumental destinations. Quite different from his debut album, it transports the listener to aural landscapes of peace and serenity. Westcott’s performances are peppered with stories about his personal experiences, his travels and travails. This professional is also a Long Island Music Award nominee.  Westcott has opened for several nationally-known performers, including John Hammond, Merle Haggard, Richie Havens, Tom Paxton, The Nields, and most recently, Richard Shindell. Westcott’’s annual Holiday Revue is a wildly popular event in which he presents his personal favorites to the Folk Music Society audience. He also performs as a member of the super group The Defibrillators. www.thedefibrillators.com   Contact Ian Wilder, 11 Edmunton Drive, #E6, North Babylon, NY 11703. 631-422-4702  9/10 – Tornado Alley. 1:45 PM.  An all original Americana band Featuring Sonny Speed, Tim Huss, Vinny Crici, Lora Kendall & Robert Langley will be appearing at the Babylon Country Fair.
