Between sets, the audience can enjoy Sticky Lips Pit Barbecue and a game or two of Beer Pong (don’t forget I.D.), thanks to the High Falls Brewing Company.   Push Physical Theatre will entertain with gravity-defying feats of “human sculpture art” between sets.

Co-Founder and Executive Producer Ned Corman was inspired by Austin, Texas’ South by Southwest Fest.  He and Co-founders George Daddis (Producer of Event and successful High-tech Entrepreneur) and Steven Gates (Creative Director and veteran music biz manager and producer) hope to grow the festival and take the music “to the streets” next year.  But for this year, all the action takes place at the Water Street Music Hall located at 204 N. Water Street in Rochester.

Tickets are available through all Ticketmaster locations including House of Guitars, Tickets Express (875 Main St. Rochester, NY), and charge by phone at (585) 232-1900. Click Here to buy your tickets online through Ticketmaster.
