Echoes of MMUP 2024 - Molemen of Philadelphia found out about MMUP from a flier posted in Pottstown, and signed up right away. That’s one of the great things about our festival: it pulls musical talent in from many places and brings it onto our sidewalks! Guess what! They are coming back this June! They were one of our very first registrants!

Echoes of MMUP 2025 - John Derham and Jeffrey Rodgers were a wonderful collaboration of a Perkiomen School graduate and a Perkiomen faculty member, combining their talents to play the Sonata for Cello and Piano Op 19 by Rachmaninoff.

Echoes of MMUP 2024 - The canopy outside of Speakeasy Coffee was the host venue for Paul Gerhard’s old time folk songs and stories. The classic songs and tales of yore are an important part of the texture of American music.
