Flag Fest feat. Flag Day, Sweetums, Jules, & Peter Glynn's Radical Jazz
About This Event
Flag Fest at Arlene's Grocery gathers Flag Day, Sweetums, Jules, and Peter Glynn's Radical Jazz on a single small-room bill. The lineup moves from Flag Day's song-forward rock to Sweetums' glam-tinged edge of jazz, through Jules' structured prompts and open improvisation, with Peter Glynn's Radical Jazz serving as a hinge between song-based sets and looser, momentum-driven improvisation.
