✨Gordon Sterling and The People
Their music, steeped in themes of reflection, the nuances of racial identity, communal solidarity, and love, speaks volumes, offering listeners a compass to navigate their truth.
Drawing from the wells of jam rock, soul, and reggae, Gordon Sterling and The People’s musical odyssey is an invigorating journey into the heart of what it means to connect, reflect, and love fiercely in an ever-evolving world. With every note, they remind us of the power of music to transcend, heal, and unify. This is not just music; it’s a movement – for, by, and about the People.
✨Saturday | June 27th | 11:30am-2:30pm
JAZZ BRUNCH
We hope y’all will all join us for some jazzzzy, mid-day spring/summer taproom vibes. We’ll have an extra special brunch menu, craft beer, mimosas, and of course, beer-mosas, all alongside jazz music from the talented jazz fusion trio, “Four Peanuts”. The group explores both original compositions and zesty covers of tunes you may or may not know. The trio features Alex Taub on keyboards, Brennan Dugan on bass, and Joe Enright on drums, and will certainly leave your peanuts salted and boiled to perfection!
