MUSIC | FOOD | DRINK | MORE....

Come cozy in for a night of old tales and songs from before and the beyond. Traditional & contemporary tunes will be brought back to life by local songwriter Maya McNeil and Ben Pearl, of the duo The Lilac & the Apple. Join in as we sail the lonely seas of beloved grief hymns and historical telling's, as spirits walk and the days grow dark. This is the time of year that we light the fires in our bellies and hearths, bring in the harvest, share stories, and remember our dead. Let’s sing and toast to them, dressed in our very best. At the show's intermission, we will pick the dapperness outfit or costume, to be rewarded with a charm and a drink!
