Club Passim Returns With Labor Day campfire. festival
Club Passim‘s campfire. festival is literally the best bang for your buck that exists when it comes to experiencing live music, discovering new favorite artists and helping to be a part of and foster community within the arts. I have been lucky enough to sit on both sides of the event over the years. Both on stage and off. Getting to collaborate in songwriting rounds with folks I admire and experiencing new (to me) bands that ended up long lasting favorites of mine.
But don’t take my word for it. A quick look at the schedule for this year’s event displays old standards in the campfire line ups along with exciting new talent.
