It's definitely festival season, and WXPN's XPoNential Fest will be kickin' it across the bridge in Camden at Wiggins Park. You'll find some of our beloved locals holding things down in the early part of the day for XPN's national touring favorites. Starting things off at the Marina Stage in the baking sun of noon will be the powerful, soulful voice of Jennifer Pague with her group Vita and the Woolf. You might have caught Frances Quinlan performing new material last night at OK FEST, but the indie darling will be in full-band mode with her merry men of Hop Along at the River Stage. And the last Philly native to perform for the day will be son of a preacher man and Anti- artist Aaron Livingston, a.k.a. Son Little. However, you'll have plenty to keep you around through the evening with St. Vincent, My Morning Jacket, Lord Huron and more on the bill. Wiggins Park/Susquehanna Bank Center (Camden), 2 Riverside Dr./One Market, 12pm, $30 (XPN Members)/$60 (Public) + $25 (St. Vincent/MMJ for those w/o a 3-day pass), All Ages - H.M. Kauffman

Vita and the Woolf swung by Cambridge Sound Studios to record a session for Root Down in the Shadow's #CoverClub. Check out the commanding performance of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's "Satan Said Dance" featuring additional backup vocals from Tutlie! The band is getting ready to hit the road next month, making the trek down to SXSW along the way.

Vita and the Woolf celebrate the release of their debut album Fang Song (which dropped earlier this week) this evening at Ortlieb’s. Listening to Fang Song, it becomes clear that it is a concentrated, powerful record. Jennifer Pague’s vocals exhibit strength and beauty, grabbing your ear from the start, guiding listeners through a series of songs that harness a vocally cultivated blend as its harmonious, soulful foundation. Partnering these vocals with tempo-setting keys/synth and accenting percussion, the album seems to consistently induce danceable movements, simultaneously displaying a layered potency, while maintaining a pop sensibility. They will be joined on the bill by the emotive, vocal-synth combination of Bondage & Discipline, an offshoot of The National Rifle, as well as Brooklyn pop-rockers Canon Logic. Ortlieb’s, 847 N. 3rd St., 8pm, $7, 21+ - Michael Colavita

Vita and the Woolf just released their debut eight-song EP Fang Song. You can stream and purchase it below. Led by the confident, sultry vocals of Jennifer Pague, the group will be honoring its release this Saturday, September 20 at Ortlieb's with Bondage & Discipline and Canon Logic.
