Sunday Sep 7, 11AM : Back-To-School Jazz Brunch!

It's a back-to-school brunch in every way, from the menu (think sloppy joes, taco salad, un-chicken nuggets, pudding...) to the music, courtesy of amazingly talented student musicians Dylan and John, whose band Everyman will be special-guesting!
 
As usual, doors open at 11 am, there'll be an open jazz set with Everyman at 11:30, an open mic for all kinds of performance & announcements around 12:30, and a final jazz set 'til 2.  In addition to our lunchroom menu we'll have all your usual brunch favorites- including our famous vegan pancakes, bagels, fresh fruit, coffee & tea, and more. 
Admission is $7 - $10 sliding scale for the all-you-wanna-eat buffet, or just $4 for performers in the session or open mic.  All proceeds support the 2640 Project's work with the St. John's congregation to maintain and improve the space!

Email 2640jazzbrunch@gmail.com if you have questions, comments, or would like to volunteer.   
Hope to see you there!

2640 is a noncommercial, cooperatively managed space for radical politics and grassroots culture, located at 2640 St. Paul St. in Baltimore's Charles Village Neighborhood. The project was started as a joint venture between Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse and St. John's United Methodist Church, but we're actively seeking new individuals and organizations who are interested in using the space on a regular basis as members of the cooperative.
