Gravity Hill @Needle Creek Farm
Gravity Hill is honored to be joined by singer songwriter Gerry Rosenthal, a New Jersey native who writes, records, and plays guitar with two original bands. He is also in a beloved Beatles cover band called Hey Bulldog and leads a top wedding band, The Jersey Joint. His original music is drawn from experience and is a showcase for his virtuosic guitar talent. We've chosen Needle Creek because it's a great local business, steeped in local farming history, and dedicated to life's simpler pleasures - family, food, music, fun...and beer. Amazing beer. If you haven't made a visit, you're in for a treat. FYI, Needle Creek Farm Brewery prioritizes sustainability through a zero-waste brewing process. The spent barley, grain, yeast, and hops are used as feed for their animals, and the wastewater irrigates their fields.
