    2008 Vibes - Saturday, 7:30 p.m.

    Jen Durkin is all over the Vibes – on and off stage – which isn’t much of a shock considering she’s performed at all 13 previous festivals.
    The singer has her own backstage tent at Seaside Park where she has been conducting interviews for Radio Vibes on WPKN-FM 89.5 and for future Webcast.
    “I’m piecing together audio clips for Sirius-XM [satellite radio] to see if I can get my own show,” said Durkin, a Stratford resident who made a name for herself as the singer for Deep Banana Blackout. “It’s something I’ve been thinking of, this idea for a radio show. ”
    “It will have another element, not just music. We’re going to just try and roll with it.”
    Durkin also found plenty of time to strut her stuff on the Vibes’ two stages. She reunited with her Deep Banana Blackout colleagues for a show Friday night and performed with her new project, The Durkins, Saturday night on the Solar Stage.
    The Durkins is “a revolving cast with about nine people in the band, including my brother Johnny,” she said. “We’ll do some things from this new jazz-samba solo record I’m releasing in the fall, called Equinox.
    “And, of course, we do some funky party tunes, as well.”
    Durkin also said she is starting her own record label, Lotus Soundworks, and plans to use it to release records by her friends on the local music scene.
