Sept 15-17. Earthwork Harvest Gathering
“I might take a train, I might take a plane, but if I have to walk, I know I'm gonna see Jo Serrapere again. Like anybody else who might make you laugh and cry in the same song, she's too good to pass up.”
— Dave Marsh, music critic, author of Born to Run: The Bruce Springsteen Story and former editor of Creem & Rolling Stone magazines.
We appreciate any donations for virtual live performances. Thank you so much!

Transportation & Parking: If you use public transport, we are conveniently located on the #5 AAATA bus line with stops on Packard in both directions, right in front of the house. If you are driving, please plan to park around the LoBuPa neighborhood rather than on Henry Street. We will not be moving the barricades except for VIPs, like the band or vendors. The closest parking is on Henry between Montclair and Golden, or on Shadford Rd, or Morton Avenue (between Lincoln and Packard). Please be respectful of our neighbors and make sure that you do not block anyone’s driveway access, as you may be ticketed or towed. Food Truck: Pizza Pazza: https://pizzapazzafoodtruck.com/ Orders accepted online ahead of time as well as onsite at the truck. Instructions for ordering ahead... go to https://pizzapazzafoodtruck.com/ and click on online ordering. Input the items you want then click “view order.” Make sure to change the date to June 14 with a time between 5:30-8:30pm. All forms of payment are accepted. Yard Seating: Seating in the backyard is reserved for folks who have donated to the artist online or at the gate. Some chairs may be available by the hosts, but not nearly enough for everyone. Help us out by bringing your own comfy chair or blanket if you intend to sit! Adult Beverages: While you are welcome to BYOB and consume adult beverages in the backyard. NO ALCOHOL is allowed in the street or on the sidewalks per the City’s rules for block closures. Bathroom Access: Attendees with backyard access will be able to use our bathroom at 1616 Packard if needed. We may have some other neighbors offer up bathrooms as well. A note on accessibility: Getting into the house requires going up/down a few steps and the primary bathroom available for use will be down a set of stairs into our basement. We do have another bathroom on the main floor that we can make available to anyone who cannot manage the basement stairs, just let us know.
