Happy 2017!
It looks like we are going to have a real winter this year. Cabin Fever!!! Not all venues close tight over the winter months so I’m dedicating this column to these places. All addresses and phone numbers are included in the schedule.
“Music Where You Least Expect It” at DeFillipis Bakery in Monticello on Sundays has been so successful that the bakery did some remodeling to accommodate the music! Stop by for breakfast or just a coffee and pastry 11 AM to 1:30ish.
You can find a long running open mic at Dutch’s in Rock Hill on Monday evenings. A staple of both here and DeFilippis is pal Steve Schwartz of Steve’s Music Center in Rock Hill, which on a snowing, blustery night in December was awarded “Business of the Month” by the Town of Thompson. An award well deserved. Congratulations again Steve!!
The High Falls Café in High Falls resumes its open mic every 2nd Thursday. Now I know this is a hike, but I can also say, having made that trek when weather permitted and cabin fever struck, that it is well worth it.
The Brew in Rock Hill has indicated it will remain open through January with Tuesday the 10th and the 24th belonging to the Search and Rescue Orchestra. A rollicking good time, and highly recommended!
Sorella Pizzeria and Restaurant in Kauneonga Lake will also remain open with the duo of master guitarist Al DeFino and Larry Ravdin on sax with sweet Jazz standards on Fridays and Saturdays.
Hurleyville’s own Pickled Owl will also remain open, continuing to bring us incredible talent every Saturday.
