Last show for our 23rd year, the 24th year has begun!


December 9 Dan Pelletier ($12) 8 PM

We're looking forward to finishing the year with an
upbeat and fun show! Bright and energetic, Dan
plays piano with an invigorating fervor and power
giving us a bit of jazz-folk, a bit of cabaret,
funk, soul and pop. His songs illuminate a cast of characters that you may not
know, but will instantly
recognize. They jump out of his songs full of
beauty and blemishes, brilliance, insanity, humor,
intensity and tenderness. Dan's passionate performances
are personable, engaging and full of wit; his soulful
voice emotive and gritty. He's a winner of the USA,
Plowshares, and South Florida Folk Festival's songwriting
competitions. We're glad he's back tonight!
