      Flexible - someone will be on site to help guide but we largely need the band to be responsible for their setup/breakdown. It is just a fun, casual summer street block party so plan for that accordingly.

    • Fantastic Entertainment!

      We used Blue Jay and his band for our summer block party and they were AMAZING! They showed up with plenty of time for setup and promptly began at our set time. They engaged with people, kept the vibes going, and overall created such a wonderful experience for our neighborhood. We would be happy to have them play again for our event next year.
