Come to The Picnic! The live music industry is at an unprecedented juncture. While many artists and fans are eager to return to shows just as they were before, others find it difficult to return to the crowds, exertion, and late-night drinking that often seem to be requirements of enjoying live music. But while we don’t want to risk our comfort, we certainly don’t want to be isolated from our communities or separated from the great joys in life. So what can we do? Enter: The Picnic. The Picnic is an indoor concert series that creates a more grounding, more inclusive listening experience for a diverse audience. It fulfills a need for comfort, inclusivity, and personal space in live music. By providing lighting and aromatherapy, inviting audience members to make themselves comfortable on blankets we provide, and curating showcases with excellent musicians, The Picnic establishes a more grounding sensory experience within traditional music venues. The Picnic is a haven for live music goers who might find the current status quo uncomfortable, overwhelming, and even unsafe. What to Know: Doors are 6:30, music starts at 7:00 sharp. Blanket space is limited and first-come-first-serve upon arrival. If you would like to attend The Picnic with your friends, we highly recommend arriving when doors open to secure a blanket. We have an elevator and ADA-approved restrooms! If you have any accessibility requirements or requests please email us at contact@livefromthepicnic.com preferably at least 24 hours before your arrival to ensure we can best accommodate you. We will be selling snacks, bottled water, and hot tea! If you would like to purchase concessions from us, cash is preferred. There will be 2 live performances (45 minutes each) beginning on the hour, followed by a deep listening session to a curated selection of music. We ask that late arrivals come in quietly and respectfully. The event will last approximately 2.5-3 hours. For any questions, email us at contact@livefromthepicnic.com.
