The musician's read
Pezza Farm is a family-owned commercial farm and garden center that turns seasonal public events into live-band occasions. The setting is outdoorsy, casual and family oriented, so broad-appeal bands that can play to adults and kids at the same time are the natural fit. Musicians should expect people to move between food, activities and the stage rather than stay planted like a concert crowd. All ages are welcome.
