About the location
UPDIKE FARMSTEAD
The Farmstead is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places and lies within the Princeton Battlefield/Stony Brook Settlement Historic District. Benjamin Clarke, an early Stony Brook settler, first owned the land as part of a 1200-acre parcel he purchased in 1696. The Farmstead is along the route followed by Continental troops on their way to engage British soldiers at the neighboring Thomas Clarke farm at Princeton Battlefield.
About the band
THE VINTAGE VIBE TRIBE
Paying homage to the jazz age and creating a retro atmosphere, The Vintage Vibe Tribe performs popular music (the songs you know and love from every era) with classic swing instrumentation. Sassy but always classy, the sultry female front-woman pours out her emotions through songs by the likes of Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald to Aerosmith and Lady Gaga.
Confident. Curious. Kind.
