We’d love to pack the house to help honor Frank Critelli who has lined up a perfect show to close out our indoor season!

Here’s what Frank says about this special show:

Rupert Wates is an internationally touring artist originally from London, England. He is renowned for his clean and decisive guitar playing, and his thoughtful lyricism. You are going to love this guy.

The Decker Bandits perform a truly unique style of orchestra bluegrass jazz from the south side of Slinkytown. Ever been to Slinkytown? Hop on This Bus, Y’all. Trust me on this.”

As always, In Frank We Trust! 

The Church Ladies will have carnitas and other goodies for sale at 6pm if you can join us for a nice dinner. Pay what you can afford for the music and as always FREE safe and convenient parking in the garage adjacent to the church. We are fired up for this one; see you there!

The CarLeans blend their diverse musical backgrounds to create a captivating sound that has garnered much attention from New England to Florida to Texas. Their vast repertoire includes folk, cajun, latin, and Americana . . . narrative, humorous, raw and powerful.

“Singer-songwriters Jim Carpenter and Sarah MacLean write authentic, moving songs that can lift you up, make you cry your heart out, fill you with joy, or deepen your understanding of the world as they poetically illuminate the human experience.” — Soundwaves Magazine June 2016

Eddie Seville has been collecting grins, winks & nods in theatres, road houses and folk gatherings around the continental US, Europe and Canada for years.

Drawing from folk, roots and country blues, he’s written songs with an ironic slang and a raconteur’s charm with music released on Island / Atlantic and Universal Records, and airings on ABC, NBC, CBS and HBO.

Eddie Seville is “inspired and vibrant with a freshness few can boast” – Lonestar Pine
