Hosted by **Jay Meduri of Poor House Bistro** and **Brandon In The Bay**, this is your can't-miss end-of-summer event! This event will benefit the non-profit Little Village Foundation in which all proceeds from the Beer Garden will benefit LVF. LVF is a non-profit record company that seeks to shine the light of awareness on musicians who might not otherwise be heard. LVF produces CDs for a diverse artist which includes mariachi, folk, blues, gospel, rock, spoken word, roots, soul and more. All proceeds from CD sales return to the artist, who also owns all their intellectual property, unlike a traditional record label. 8 bands that are on the LVF label will be featured on two stages. The main stage will be located on West Saint John Street and the other will be located on the Poor House Bistro patio
