Tuesdays at Downtown Music Gallery
13 Monroe Street, Manahahthan, Lenapehóking
March 4 | April 1 | May 6
No cost
This is an experiment with
what can be accomplished
with no budget and no advance rehearsal time
but with interested & interesting musicians.
Each sketch floats a different concept,
each a seed for further development
& future exploration.
