"In many ways, Philly-area country folk combo Kicking Down Doors got together by accident. Singer / lyricist Autumn Walden came across singer-guitarist Ernie Tokay at his Little Spiders Have Big Dreams Studio in Chester County; before they’d even known each other for a day, they’d already written a song together." - John Vettese, WXPN

Memorial Day weekend is overrated and late to the party. Because folks who are ready to breakdown, and folks who have already been breaking it down before they were told to do so are going to the Susquehanna Breakdown.

Should I start by describing the metalgrass cover of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” during the two-hour set of Greensky Bluegrass? Or do you want to hear about the muscles I pulled dancing over and over to Cabinet in four different iterations: Keller & Cabinet Breakdown Stage Fury, Cabinet’s Breakdown Stage Shindig, Cabinet’s Acoustic Afternoon, and the Cabinet Susquehanna Surprise?
