MADISON, NJ (April 11, 2011)— For two weeks in April and May, Fairleigh Dickinson University will be hosting the 2011 WAMFEST (Words and Music Festival). This year’s WAMFEST will feature an eclectic and prestigious lineup of novelists, music producers, and singer/songwriters, in five events in April and May. WAMFEST artist in residence, Wesley Stace/John Wesley Harding will host and perform all of the events.
WAMFEST is an annual series hosted by FDU’s Becton College and the Creative Writing Programs that brings successful artists of various genres and media to the Madison campus, to inspire and inform students who hope to one day follow in these artists’ creative footsteps. The festival is designed to celebrate the literary qualities of popular music and to break down the barriers between the community and academia, bridging the gap between the literature in universities and the literature of the people. Past guests have included Bruce Springsteen, Robert Pinsky, Roseanne Cash, and Eugene Mirman.
