Plan Bee’s 5th annual SunSet Music Series
Food Truck: Yum Yum Hot Spot
Featuring Teddy Kumpel & Nome Sane?
Come out to the farm and celebrate local NY artists in our elevated performance series.
Timing: The taproom will open at 12pm to start serving guests. The performers play a 90 minute set which starts 90 minutes before sunset. The artists starting time will fluctuate with the seasonal sunset. Last call for drinks is at 9pm.
Outdoor Stage: The concert takes place outside on our east facing Farmstand Stage. The mural on the stage was designed by artist Natalie Renganeshi to change visually with the setting sun. As you enjoy the musical performance, this visual art brings a whole new meaning to light show.
Seating: We have lawn chairs, picnic blankets & benches available for use but feel free to bring your own chair or blanket if you wish.
Tickets: Ticket sales support our artists & additional donations are welcome. Rain or shine event - if there is adverse weather, the music will move inside or under our new pavilion. No refunds or rainchecks.
About the Group
Nome Sane? is the hilariously entertaining, guitar driven, mostly instrumental brainchild of Teddy Kumpel (Joe Jackson’s guitar player, among other things) They combine roots music, psychedelia, compositional mystery and improvisation into a tight, humorous, entertaining package that offers something for everyone.
