SECOND FRIDAY CONCERTS

Since 1985, we have presented acoustic music concerts on the second Friday of each month (excluding summer). We give 100% of our net proceeds to charity (with a focus on small, local social action-oriented charities — i.e., homelessness, food pantries, LGBTQ youth initiatives, etc.). Our volunteer staff strives to give our audiences a chance to experience a night of amazing music in an intimate, friendly setting. Tickets for individual shows can be purchased on Eventbrite. Season memberships are also available. We look forward to seeing you at a show.
