"BART isn't usually associated with pleasant sounds, particularly in Berkeley where the underground screech can hit painful notes. But the transit agency is looking to change its tune by bringing a one-day jazz festival to the North Berkeley station for the first time this Saturday, Oct. 11. Part of a concert series that brings live music acts and other cultural happenings to stations around the system, BART Sound Tracks seeks to transform the southwest corner of the parking lot into an al fresco music venue."
"The performance area will be defined by a low white picket fence, artificial turf and picnic tables. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn or camping chairs, low umbrellas and dancing shoes. Fare from food trucks, mocktails, and BART merch will be on sale. The event is billed as a jazzy no traffic' jam. Bring your lawn chair and hang out, said Jennifer Easton, BART's art program manager."
BART will present the Sound Tracks Music Festival at the North Berkeley BART station on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 3 to 6 p.m., with $10 adult and $5 child admission. The performance area will feature a low white picket fence, artificial turf, picnic tables, and space for attendees to bring lawn chairs, low umbrellas, and dancing shoes. Food trucks, mocktails, and BART merchandise will be available. The site was chosen partly because housing is planned for the parking lot, and the event is intended to celebrate the neighborhood. SFJAZZ helped curate and promote the lineup, which includes SFJAZZ High School All-Stars.
