We have a special musical edition at the market this week. We have Jet Black Pearl (straight from touring in Europe) along with local accordion star Rowan Lipkovits and one of the singers from his band the Creaking Planks. We are told we are in for a real treat! Both Jet Black and Rowan Lipkovits are part of the 9th Annual Accordion Noir Festival and we’re getting a little sneak peak at the market! Don’t miss this one time only performance!
