(Unlike a lot of music events, we really do start on time. 💋 ) ⭐ Evening Schedule ⭐ 6:00–6:30 p.m. Arrive, find your spot, uncork your favorite beverage, spread out your picnic, and settle in with a warm, kind set of folks personally invited by the artists and hosts. 6:30 p.m. An opening set by an exceptional emerging musician. 7:00–8:00 p.m. 70% live concert. 30% intimate interview of the featured artist by Femily + Mags (aka “The Seesters”). Think *Behind the Music* meets a backyard listening room. Each night's featured artist shares the stories, confessions, and pivotal moments behind their songs, which you hear performed live. From your picnic blanket, you'll experience a lively, candid conversation. Instead of listening in a crowded bar, you'll actually hear every lyric and every story in a relaxed, cozy outdoor setting where the music and the artist take center stage. (And where you can be in bed - or out on the town - by 8:30pm.) ⭐About the Featured Artist: Kristin Ford A nationally touring queer, biracial singer-songwriter signed to Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe Records, Kristin Ford has played more than 2,000 shows across 50 states and 10 countries.
