The series, held on the porches of private houses in Ditmas
Park, started in July 2020 to offer a venue where musicians could
perform during the pandemic. This gives them a source of income and provides a safe space for people to
gather to enjoy live music.
Although
the performances are free, a suggested $10 donation to the musicians is
more than welcome. You can donate either at the performance itself or
to the tax-deductible Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund on GoFundMe.
Purchase an Operation Gig t-shirt here, and the proceeds will go to the Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund.
