Join us for a teaser of our upcoming 2024 "Speakeasy Series" featuring The Honey Bees!

We've wanted to do a Speakeasy for a while, and with the help of The Honeybees, we're making that happen in 2024! Grab your zoot suit or flapper dress and come grab a drink (shhhh... don't tell anyone...) and listen to this awesome local band!

The Honey Bees
What’s that Buzz you’re hearing? It’s the sweet sounds of the Honey Bees! Equal parts 30’s era Jazz, Western Swing, Folk-Rock and oddball Americana, the Bees mix it all up with flair, fun and a hint of mischief. Standards, favorites and chestnuts are equally delivered with the original music of chanteuse Mary Fagan, who also keeps time and tone on acoustic guitar and piano. Guitarist Chris O’Neill colors the nectar with sassy chording on a hollow-body jazzbox and nimble runs on the Fender Telecaster. Holding it down low on the “big” bass, Jock Irvine keeps it cool and swinging while enhancing the mix with casual back up vocals. Greg Mostovoy adds an array of horns to fit the moments and drummer Paul Donahue keeps all the toes tapping with his rock solid drumming.

Calling all witches, vampires, ghosts, and creatures of the night! Join us for a spooktacular night of hauntingly good entertainment at our All Hallows Eve Cabaret - Serenades in Shadows!

Don your most bewitching costumes and prepare for a night of eerie elegance and devilish delights. Sinisterly sensational singers, ghoulishly great actors, and plenty of spooky stories will be your entertainment for the evening.

Get ready for a night of thrills and chills as we summon the spirits and celebrate All Hallows' Eve in style. RSVP and spread the spooky spirit - invite your friends, family, and fellow ghouls to this All Hallow's Eve Serenade in Shadows.

Let the hauntingly good times begin!
