Boxed Lunch with Catch the Chef Food Truck

For your dinnertime entertainment, we’re thrilled to announce that Boxed Lunch will be returning to our slice of paradise here in Free Union. Their awesome Indie Pop Rock sounds are sure to satisfy all of your musical cravings! Performing live, Friday, July 5th, from 6 to 8:30pm.

Band Bio:
Boxed Lunch is a Charlottesville VA based indie pop/rock band led by the melodic songwriting duo of Justin Storer (drums/vocals) and Joel Streeter (guitar/vocals), along with Emily Gardiner (vocals), and Zack Beamer (bass/vocals). Boxed Lunch is known for their high-energy live shows and killer harmonies.

Justin and Joel have been following each other around the country for years without knowing it, finally meeting and joining forces in 2018. Both formerly of San Francisco and Brooklyn, they share a love for The Beatles and a gift for classic songwriting. Justin has released two albums of original music — a solo record (Hot Water Sunday) and a record with his Americana quintet, The Working Effective (Dear Brooklyn) — and has toured both nationally and internationally. Joel has two albums of his own, Hear Me Out and Matador, the latter of which features contributions by members of Counting Crows and Train, and was hailed by CD Baby as “a classic sounding pop album full of bounce, melodic arch, and lyrical substance.” As a solo artist, Joel has played iconic venues such as San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium (opening for Phil Lesh and Friends) and The Great American Music Hall.
