A steady downpour could have kept people home on Sunday, October 11. Instead, LoonAsea filled with music, hugs, memories, and a strong reminder of what the Maryland music community can do when one of its own needs support.

A good fall festival gives everyone a reason to slow down: a cup of apple cider, a hawk circling overhead, music in the air, and kids with painted faces. The 2026 Fall Harvest and Arts Festival at Cromwell Valley Park, brought all of that together in one outdoor community celebration on Saturday, October 10, 2026.

The Maryland Musicians Cancer fund founder, Michael Ferretti, along with Jeff Caudle of Acid Wash and Doc Martin and the Flannels sat down with Mary Francis Seltzer and Brother Darren for an extensive interview about the upcoming benefit show at Loonasea on Sunday, October 11th.
