Friday March 2nd
Wheels of Fire
Cream Tribute Band (the Best) 

tribute to CREAM’S enduring musical legacy, with a state of the art sound and light show. WHEELS OF FIRE captures the live excitement, sound, intensity, and improvisational psychedelia of the early power trio format with inspired spot-on performances by lead guitar/vocalist Michael Paolucci, drummer/vocalist Peter Ferraguto, and Conrad Mlynarski on Bass guitar.  Just close your eyes, listen, and let the music transport you back to the psychedelic 60’s.  You’ll swear that you’re at London’s Royal Albert Hall listening to GINGER, JACK, and ERIC at their full-tilt, hippie shaking, blues-breaking best.

Friday March 16th
Come celebrate an early St Paddy's Day with us
Since our 1st anniversary is March 17th we thought we would have our St. Paddy's Day the day before! Come listen to this Irish great and start to celebrate
Jim McGrath & The Reprobates

The first thing you notice about Jim McGrath is the easy competence with which he delivers his songs. The rich baritone has been seasoned over the decades and like a very fine wine – or whiskey -- it is only now coming into its full flavor. The next thing you notice is that Jim never takes his eyes off his audience. He’s constantly on the prowl, looking to make contact with you and bring you his direct vision of the subject of the song he’s singing. It might take a little longer to appreciate what a masterful guitar accompanist he is, but Jim McGrath is the whole package.
