Our performance schedule is full up through the end of 2025... though that doesn't preclude the possibility of one or more special add-on shows. We started this thing to give local and regional emerging performers a chance to play for an attentive, if small, audience. And to level the playing field for them, we book first-come first-served from a wait list.Somehow we got on the radars of some more established performers, who we also welcome — but they have to wait on the list just like everyone else. We're just finishing up a string of those biggies who got on board all in a row, and now we're going back to our roots to present a bunch of performers who you might not necessarily know... yet. Though there are some more-established acts too.Perhaps surprisingly, even though we don't curate we've pretty much never had any duds!, and the upcoming schedule remains strong. Lots of folk music, as usual, but also a couple very synthy synth dates, a bit of indie rock, a bit of jazz, maybe some proto-yacht-rock. We hope you'll come out and support these up-and-comers in a voyage of discovery.
