Tomorrow, a live music series kicks off in Morristown, N.J., with the Grateful Dead tribute band, This Old Engine playing a free gig at the Homestead. Following the series opener on June 8, live music enthusiasts can catch a number of additional talent spread throughout the summer.
On July 17, members of Railroad Earth will perform with special guest Blake Christiana of Yarn. The evening will also double as Bobby Syvath’s album release party, with Vincent Ventrigila’s Wig Party opening up the night. The event has also been billed as a benefit, with contributions going to The Shawnee Creek Watershed Conservancy.
The fun will continue on Aug. 14, when Steve Kimock and Friends roll through town for a concert. Other artists slated to appear include Spafford and Perpetual Groove – show dates for these concerts will be announced in the near future.
“Some of my friends think that I am out of my mind to invest my time and money on live performances of original music – especially in these times,” shared promoter Vincent Ventriglia of Flying V Productions. “But music is my passion, and as Homestead owner Billy Walsh says, ‘Let’s make this fun.’”
Ventriglia went on to add, “I’ve brought in a new stage, lights and sound, and we have a capacity of 700. There’s no other venue like this in northern New Jersey. I strongly believe that anyone who comes out will enjoy our shows and leave with a smile on their face.”
The Homestead is located in Morristown, N.J., approximately 30 miles south of Manhattan. The establishment offers elevated bites, craft cocktails, beer and more.
