Why This Concert Matters
Neighbors Allied for Good Growth (NAG) and the People’s Firehouse have taken on the ambitious goal of transforming the former Engine 212 firehouse into a vibrant community hub. This future Town Hall will serve as a central point for civic engagement, offering a variety of essential services and creating a new venue for performances, meetings, and cultural events. To make this dream a reality, nearly $2 million needs to be raised, and this benefit concert marks the exciting launch of the fundraising campaign.
A Star-Studded Lineup
The concert boasts an incredible lineup featuring local legends who rarely perform in the neighborhood. Headlining the event is the iconic band They Might Be Giants, known for their eclectic sound and energetic performances. Joining them will be Charles Bissell of The Wrens, delivering his signature indie rock style, and Nada Surf, performing a special acoustic set that is sure to captivate the audience.
