Restoration projects recently completed at the nearly 200 year old historic Guyon Tavern, repaired damage from a 2017 car accident as well as structural and cosmetic work giving the building a functional tavern space that is true to its 1820s heritage. Shows are scheduled for every Saturday, at 6:00:PM and 8:00PM.
The season starts with a bang! Bob Conroy and Norm Pederson, with Bill Doerge to perform Saturday, January 11th.

JANUARY 18: The Delorean Sisters
The DeLorean Sisters is a Brooklyn-based band that got their start reimagining 1980s synth pop hits as alt-country and Americana ditties. We strip some of the most familiar songs of the decade down to the bone and then reinvent them on largely acoustic instruments. Our innovative arrangements of songs by David Bowie, The Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, Danzig and others will make you hear these old songs in a completely new light.
January 25: Linda Russell
Linda Russell is a singer/songwriter who is also deeply rooted in traditional music. Playing mountain dulcimer and hammered dulcimer, Linda performs a variety of material ranging from early American ballads and love songs to mountain gospels, Irish dance tunes and her own compositions. Linda’s original songs tell of childhood summers, family sing-alongs and the abandoned farmhouses and eccentric characters of her Midwestern past. She’ll be accompanied by The Racket River Girls.
February 1: Songs of the Sea and Tavern
