CUTCHOGUE, NY – The NOFO Rock & Folk Fest will take place on Saturday, July 31 and

event will run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days with music commencing at 11 a.m.
The two-day landmark event will raise funds and awareness for the East End Arts’ Council to expand music
and art programs offered at Brecknock Hall located on the Peconic Landing campus in Greenport.
The NOFO lineup includes: Jorma Kaukonen (of Hot Tuna & Jefferson Airplane), legendary Richie Havens and rock ’n roll guitar hero Leslie West. West will perform with both of his popular bands—Mountain and West-Bruce Jr. & Laing (a 70s rock ’n roll collaboration between members of Mountain and Cream.)
Also on the bill are alternative rock pioneer Pat Dinizio of The Smithereens and Devon Allman with his band Honeytribe. Devon often tours, opens for and plays with his father and modern music trail blazer, Greg Allman.
Many more musicians and musical acts from throughout the tri-state music scene will perform on both the main stage and on acoustic stages that will be set up throughout the festival grounds.
Peconic Bay Winery General Manager Jim Silver stated, “Quality music and interesting cultural events go
hand-in- hand with the North Fork Wine Country. This festival will celebrate artists, writers, musicians
and the North Fork as a cultural destination while providing support for cultural youth programs in our
community.”
As an added feature of interest, the festival will include a farmers market showcasing locally grown
produce, plants and farm-related items. The event is kid-friendly and will offer activities for children.
There will also be plenty of room to spread out and toss a Frisbee or a beach ball.
Founder of BIG SUGA Productions, Josh Horton concluded, “I am proud to be a part of this festival. It is a
family- friendly event designed to promote the arts. We’re bringing great music, music fans and East End
Arts Council together for a quality show and an important purpose.”
