Every Tuesday, from July through August, the Philly Grown Food and Music Series brings live music to the Liberty Pointe Waterfront Restaurant.
No sooner than the calm of early summer becomes something of a nightly bore, there’s a new Tuesday evening soiree at FCM Hospitality’s Liberty Point along Penn’s Landing and the waterfront. Occupying part of ye old Independence Seaport Museum, Avram Hornik’s large-scaled, open-air restaurant and bar still has that new space smell having just opened in May.
“My real interest is in underutilized space, existing buildings not being used to their full potential… Diamonds in the roughs,” Hornik told me in May. “The Seaport Museum had these wonderful outdoor decks, built for the Bicentennial and designed to move massive numbers of people in and out of its performance theater. I was able to reimagine that. We took out the walls and opened up the view of the waterfront. Out in kitchens and bathrooms, and softened up the space with a lot of wood and decking. We transformed it into what it wanted to be.”
Now, every Tuesday throughout the summer months, starting July 5th and running through August 30th, Liberty Point wants to be the Philly Grown Food and Music Series. Done in collaboration with FCM’s new Director of Live Programming Marley Macnamara and Chef Eli Kulp of Delicious City Podcast and High Street Kitchens, the regular new Tuesday party begins July 5th with Kensington Clearwater Revival. After its opening date, July 12th’s Sixteen Jackies, July 19th’s Pine Barons, July 26th’s Electric Candelight, August 2nd’s Birdie Busch, August 9th’s Britt Thomas/Squawk Brothers, August 18th’s Mobbluz, August 23rd’s Golden Apples and August 30th’s Slomo Sapiens round out the live performance schedule at Liberty Point. Jimmy Everhart did the poster work and all of the food-drink-and-rock-out tix info is listed HERE.
