Local poets, musicians and likeminded souls gather to make some sweet poetic-music and a funky melting-pot Shanty Town style Sunday Jam down at the Edge to celebrate the work being done with the homeless community around Christmas. Guests include Dubgasm, BEARmusic, Culture Dub Orchestra & a host of other local musicians and poets/spoken word artists. Put some money in the pot for local shelters helping to host the holiday season. This in an alcohol-free event and children are welcome.
