PCJ Wed Jun 17: Women of Wilmy Takes the Stage Tonight

Music, poetry, art, and community at Wilmington Distillery.

Good morning, Wilmington.

First, thank you for your patience, support, and kind messages during my family's recent emergency. It means more than you know, and it's good to be getting back into the rhythm of Port City Jams.

Today's issue highlights two very different corners of the music world. Looking ahead, Little River Band is bringing its 50 Years and More Tour to the Wilson Center this fall. Closer to home, Wilmington Distillery hosts TREYA's Women of Wilmy Open Mic & Jam tonight, celebrating the musicians, artists, poets, and creators who help make our local scene so special.

Let's get into it.
