Music Near the Gardens: The Pinhook Edition is curated by Kym Register, owner of The Pinhook, and is hosted by local artist and performer Stormie Daie.
It will take place at 7 p.m. every Wednesday from May 28 through June 25, 2025, on the southeast corner of Duke University’s East Campus, behind the East Duke building, and will be broadcast live on WXDU. The address of the Duke East Building is 1304 Campus Drive, Durham, North Carolina.
