Kurt Vile in his basement studio at his home in Mount Airy in 2022 with daughter Delphine. The Philly singer and guitarist headlines Philly Music Fest at Ardmore Music Hall on Monday and Tuesday.is now in its eighth year, a steadily growing enterprise that makes supporting local bands its business.“Philly is our genre,” its motto reads.in 2017 and now includes six different stages in the city and suburbs over the course of a full week.
“I can’t believe we get to play with Schoolly, he was the first person I requested actually,” Vile said in a statement. “When I heard he agreed I definitely lost it a little bit. It’s just a Philly family affair all around, baby.”On Monday, Vile’s hometown celebration will include guitarist Emily Robb, who opens along with Schooly.
The 22-year-old started playing in punk rock bands in her early teens. She named her band Florry — which she calls “a wild party band” — after a character in Betty Smith’s 1943 novel, the second full-length Florry album, draws from American roots source material reaching back generations. Opening track “Drunk and High” has a winning ramshackle feel reminiscent of Neil Young’s “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.
Medosch is ready for the next shot of hometown exposure that will come with opening for Vile at the PMF. “It’s fun,” she says. “It makes sense for us to play Philly Music Fest. At this point, we definitely could be labeled as up-and-coming. We sold out Johnny Brenda’s last month. So that’s a pretty big deal, not everyone in Philly can do that. But we could use a little more recognition. I’m excited.”
