MILLVILLE — The Southern Shore Music Festival is calling it a wrap. During the event’s run performing artists included Los Lobos, The Neville Brothers, Arlo Guthrie, and the late Steve Goodman who composed City of New Orleans. The festival, which had a 28-year run, began as the Bridgeton Folk Festival and entertained thousands for 23 consecutive summers through 2006, prior to having a five-year stint as the Southern Shore Music Festival. A decrease in funding, grants, and donations were the reasons for the stoppage.
