'Bromberg's Big Noise' act added to Gorka show
Bromberg's Big Noise Music Festival act Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams have been added as a surprise opening act for folk singer John Gorka in Arden this spring.
The WXPN 88.5-FM-sponsored Gild Hall show on May 19 comes the night before David Bromberg's Wilmington festival, which will feature performances by Bromberg, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Dr. John and the Nite Trippers, Anders Osborne and Front Country
Campbell, a longtime Bob Dylan and Levon Helm collaborator, will also perform with his wife, singer/guitarist Teresa Williams. The duo are putting the finishing touches on a new album, their first since their 2015 eponymous debut.

And if you want to make a weekend out of it, the Gild Hall and the festival have teamed up to offer a $58 joint ticket that will get you into the Gild Hall show and the May 20 Bromberg's Big Noise Music Festival, which will be held at Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park.
"We are thrilled to be able to offer an option for any festivalgoers who might be looking for something on Friday night in the area," says Big Noise festival co-organizer Matt Van Belle.
