Tomorrow we are pleased to host Canadian singer-songwriter Amanda Keeley, who has swiftly carved a niche for herself as a spellbinding indie-folk artist. Her music, imbued with the raw, emotional depth of a seasoned soul, draws listeners into an intimate world of lyrical storytelling and melodic artistry.

Keeley’s voice, often likened to the resonant tones of Sara Bareilles, the heartfelt authenticity of Brandi Carlile, and the haunting melancholy of City and Colour, serves as a bridge between the timeless traditions of folk and the contemporary sensibilities of modern music

We'll be serving a special patio dinner of Thai grilled chicken with a sweet chili dipping sauce, rice, and Asian slaw starting at 6pm.

Space is first come, first served.

Can't wait to see you all there!
