We’ll be broadcasting live on the way to New Haven and will have a special performance on the train from Suitcase Junket. Everyone who rides with us will also get to see a free PRIVATE Lake Street Dive performance, too! We’ll bring you there after we arrive in New Haven.

1. You’re responsible for arranging and purchasing your Amtrak ticket to and from New Haven on October 8. Tickets are limited. We’re not responsible for guaranteeing anyone a seat on the train.

2. We’re riding down on train 471 which leaves Greenfield at 7:35 am and Northampton at 8 am, arriving at 10:10 am the New Haven State Street Station.  There will be about 1.5 hours before the Lake Street Dive performance.

3. We’re returning on the Vermonter at 1:30 pm, departing from New Haven Union Station, a different station from where we arrived.
