Many of the musicians performing Sunday will also appear at the <a href=\"https:\/\/metrophiladelphia.com\/stories\/best-philadelphia-area-music-festivals-summer-2026,138546\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Roots Picnic<\/a> the day before, making the event something of an unofficial afterparty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite all of our talent and swagger, sometimes Philly can have a blind spot when it comes to world-class artistry developing in our own backyard,\u201d Bernhard said. \u201cThis is an opportunity to showcase some of that talent in a fun, intimate, communal environment. This month alone, we have musicians who have produced and played on Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning projects. Most of us will be playing at the Roots Picnic the day before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The evening will be filled with plenty of locally grown music, but it serves an even greater purpose \u2014 Bernhard is partnering with Juntos, a <a href=\"https:\/\/metrophiladelphia.com\/south-philadelphia\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">South Philly<\/a>-based, community-led Latine immigrant organization focused on human rights advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>The event is 21+, and tickets are available for purchase online at <a href=\"https:\/\/dice.fm\/partner\/tickets\/event\/pyblbp-a-jam-without-borders-fundraiser-for-juntos-31st-may-ortliebs-philadelphia-tickets?dice_id=9367254&amp;dice_channel=web&amp;dice_tags=organic&amp;dice_campaign=DICE&amp;dice_feature=mio_marketing&amp;_branch_match_id=1587823837999152658&amp;utm_source=web&amp;utm_campaign=DICE&amp;utm_medium=mio_marketing&amp;_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz8nMy9ZLyUxO1UvL1Q80N0%2BxMDAyMjMxNrGvK0pNSy0qysxLj08qyi8vTi2ydc4oys9NBQBZEm8OOwAAAA%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">dice.fm<\/a>. Proceeds from the evening will be donated to Juntos to support Philadelphians who have been impacted by ICE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am looking forward to bringing some of the world\u2019s best musicians together at Ortlieb\u2019s every month,\u201d Bernhard continued. \u201cNot only to create music in a way that only happens in Philly, but to be able to donate funds for the important and much-needed work that Juntos is doing to support people in our community who have been impacted by ICE.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on A Jam Without Borders, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/4333collective.net\/gigs\/7cg5p3n2myzh4s2-zfdkh-rhf5n-x5f8c-897pt-wpsg5-fnrx3-drh3z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">4333collective.net<\/a>.
