Think forest floor —  bark, lichen and beautiful little woodland finds.

Using a mix of preserved mosses, bark, dried ferns, grasses, botanicals and foraged treasures, we’ll build a wonderfully textural wreath that feels as though it could have been gathered straight from the woods.

I’ll be gathering, preserving and curating many of the materials myself, alongside specially sourced mosses, with lots of different textures and natural details to play with.

We’ll work on a 12" wreath base, finishing approximately 14–16" across.

No experience necessary — I’ll guide you through the whole process, while leaving plenty of room to make it completely your own.

All materials, guidance + one cocktail or mocktail included.

Disciples of the Dead is a New Jersey-based Grateful Dead tribute band featuring some of the area’s most accomplished and beloved players. With powerful lead vocals, rich harmonies, virtuosic guitar and keyboard improvisation, driving upright bass, and jazzy, cosmic percussion, the band captures the spirit, spontaneity, and exploratory energy of the Grateful Dead.

The band is led by Michael Jaskewicz, one of New Jersey’s most revered Grateful Dead guitarists and vocalists, known for his work with Baked Alaska and Abandoned Outcasts.

Joining him are Sheila Vee on rhythm guitar (Big Foot County, Magnolia Street String Band), Kevin Cooper on keys (Big Deep, Abandoned Outcasts), Lawrence Haber on bass (Lawrence Haber Collective), and Tim Larigan on drums (The Mighty Quinn).

Together, Disciples of the Dead brings a dynamic, improvisational approach to the Grateful Dead catalog—creating a live experience that is both deeply rooted in the music and uniquely their own. The band is quickly becoming a favorite among New Jersey Deadheads.

Rift formed in the summer of 2023 amongst four friends that love playing the vast Phish catalog.

Matt Agostini (bass) and Matt Elberson (drums) have played in previous Phish tributes while Sean Coyne (guitar) and John Hildenbrand (keys) have always wanted to. We’re pumped to be a part of the incredible Philadelphia Phish community.

We’ve built chemistry playing together in Control for Smilers, Uncle Jawn’s Band, The 9’s Funk Band, Keezus, and Four Lean Hounds. Together we have seen over 300 Phish shows, eaten our fair share of shakedown grilled cheeses, and can’t wait to share our renditions of Phish songs with you.

It’s a relaxed, welcoming night where comedians — from first-timers to seasoned performers — can take the stage and try out new material.An open mic means anyone can sign up to perform.

The Grateful Allman Band Experience (GABE) brings together the legendary music of The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band, and The Band—three giants of American rock whose influence continues to resonate across generations. Featuring an all-star lineup drawn from notable Mid-Atlantic touring groups including Danger Bird, Covered with Jam, Montgomery Warlocks, and The Crimestoppers; GABE creates a vibrant, improvisation-driven concert experience inspired by the spirit of the iconic Watkins Glen Summer Jam.

For over a decade, GABE has entertained audiences from the Carolinas to New Jersey, including multiple recent sellouts drawing 200–300+ attendees. The band isn’t a costumed tribute act; instead, they focus on capturing the authentic feel, freedom, and musical interplay that defined these historic bands—delivering a show that appeals to jam-band purists and casual music fans alike.

Jeannette Orr is a storyteller first and a comedian second, and she's got the material to prove it. Over the years she's designed commercial interiors, trained horses as a competitive equestrian, taught people to ride motorcycles, and run dogs through agility courses. Each of those worlds came with its own cast of characters, near-disasters, and punchlines.

Two years ago, Jeannette wandered into the Flemington DIY Women's Comedy Open Mic, met Megan Henninger, and caught the standup bug for good. Now she brings her stories to open mics across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, also hosting the comedy open mic at Dharma Bums Bar on the second Wednesday of every month.
