77 Apes performs a solo set that mixes acoustic and electric sounds at Glastonbury Farmers Market. This venue is connected to his early days, as it was among the first places he played. The performance offers a personal look at his music and how his craft has evolved.

Running June through October, this seasonal market features locally grown produce at affordable prices for the community. Visitors will find a mix of food and non-food vendors, along with community nonprofit organizations providing outreach information. Russell Library's Storytime and Music at the Market add to the experience, creating a welcoming midday outing for everyone. SNAP, FMNP, and SFMNP are accepted.
