For the last two years the good folks at Chameleonwest Recording Studios have held a music festival in the studio parking lot during The Allentown Art Festival. Promoting a theme that music is also a recognizable art, the festival has been a huge success. This two day festival featuring alternating stages inside and outside the studio allowed for over fifty local artists to showcase their stuff and to be recorded by the Chameleonwest staff. The results are documented on this sprawling three CD set that is the definitive sampler of the areas diverse musical talents. Longtime veterans (Mark Freeland, Lance Diamond, Anatara and The Jumpers) to current bands (Blood of Jupiter, Mini Motor Punch, Flatbed and Prayers For Rain) to perennial favorites (Maria Sebastian, Seven Day Faith, The Neighbors and Alison Pipitone) are represented on the disc. While space constraints limit us from mentioning everyone on the CD all of the performance here are top of the line. Proceeds from the CD benefit Cradle Beach Camp.
