Neighborhood Evolution
Through Story & Song
Sunday, February 28th @ 3pm ~ Admission; $7
@ Maxwell’s, 1039 Washington Street, Hoboken
.
Hoboken and New York artists burrow through their warrens, digging in the dirt, interpreting their neighborhood experiences, past and present. Through song and story, they rebuild places that don’t exist anymore or hide from plain sight. Wiggle inside an ash can to escape a bully. Lean out a window with a pillow under your chest and see a guy in a T-shirt running up a fire escape with a TV under his arm! Hurdle an air shaft on a roof just to feel your heart pound on the outside of your chest… or sit on a stoop.

The neighborhood’s awake and talented songwriters, musicians and storytellers are ready to paint characters and scenes for your eyes and ears. Here are the artists on the block:
