Tonight also marks the beginning of La Festa Italiana in Jersey City. Running for over 100 years, the Five-day festival runs from Wednesday to Sunday with plenty music, wine, calamari, 50/50’s, cannolis, and rice balls [actaully there are a limited amount of Rice Balls] Make your way down slowly down 6th Street and you can eat everything  Buono Mangiata ! On Thursday, my cousin Vito from Sicily will be handing Ladies Night at Lucky’s.

On Saturday, take things to the highest level with the Second Annual Rooftopper at Porta. This eight-band all-ages music festival [yes i know there isn’t camping] starts at 3pm and runs all day long. With Hot bands – cool drinks- and special pies you should Get DOWNtown and Get UPstairs.

Looking forward to tomorrows' final Goatchella Act 4 - A Riverview Jazz Showcase before we take a two-week break to ready for The Ghost of Uncle Joe's : A Socially Distant Halloween Ball on the 23rd.  Including the Goatstock shows, when we wrap things up tomorrow we will have hosted nearly 50 different artists during the music series of socially distanced shows. 

It's been a great pleasure to work with Corey Zack from Cocoon Recording Studio, Sam, Vince De, and Jason form JC Stu Dios, Jérôme Rouquette, Jacqueline Dawn Smith from JCMusicScene , Mike Kuzan from The Latest Noise Artist Development Group, Charles Patrick Kosanovich from Break A Leg E.N.T., RiverviewJazz.org. 

Thanks to our $10,000 Jersey City COVID-19 Economic Relief Grant, and the support of everyone who attended, and support from Koro Koro Rice Ball Cafe, HDSID, and White Eagle Hall we were able to pay and feed musicians, and put music industry people back to work and at the same time to raise money for The Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery.
