May 5 Finest Folk First Fridays

Finest Folk First Fridays Live Music May 5Rochester kicks off May 5 Finest Folk First Fridays in collaboration with our Crossroads neighbors Folk Alliance International and the Hispanic Economic Development Corporation with a bang! We have an evening of fun and live music planned at various locations throughout the neighborhood.

Rochester: Kasey Rausch and Kristin Hamilton

Wednesday night regulars Kasey Rausch and Kristin Hamilton will perform a split set at Rochester’s Crossroads location at:
First Set: 5:15-6 p.m.
Second Set: 6:45-7:30 p.m.

Kasey and Kristin are singer/songwriters whose soulful voices harmonize beautifully together. They sound particularly resonant in the Crossroad’s excellent acoustical space.

It’s a Crossroads Neighborhood Party!

In between Rochester’s music sets, you can wander over and catch Casii Stephan, at 5:45 p.m. It’s just around the corner at Folk Alliance International, 601 Avenida Cesar E Chavez. Casii is a soul-pop/rock singer-songwriter who will be performing an intimate, listening room-style concert series at FAI’s office. Ticket and event details are located here.

And throughout the day and evening, there’s lots of fun happening at the Party Under the I-35 Bridge! Music, food, vendors and a car show top the list of activities there. These events are hosted by the Hispanic Economic Development Corporation.

This event is a collaboration between Rochester Brewing and Roasting, Folk Alliance International and the Hispanic Economic Development Corporation. Music partially funded through a grant provided by the Missouri Arts Council. And our First Friday’s artist, Jeff Bulcock, will be displaying his watercolor artwork at Rochester as well. Help us celebrate local art in our Crossroads neighborhood for May 5 Finest Folk First Fridays.
