We’re so excited to have Ernie on the heated patio for the first time!

We love his new album, described as “a crunching riff-rocker in the tradition of John Mellencamp or Bruce Springsteen, with touches of Todd Snider evident in its sardonic approach.”

He’s Americana and specifically Midwest but definitely influenced by his time in Nashville too.

Wear your fall finest! We’ll have the patio dialed in perfectly.

Saw the Old Fashioneds live last night at Sturdy Shelter Brewing in Batavia. It was the second time I’d seen them perform and they were amazing! Every song a hit, every guitar solo was killer and vocals by Pat and Marco just gorgeous. They are seasoned musicians with such chemistry after playing together for so many years. (25ish maybe? Must confirm) I heard them perform Norah Jones, Elvis, Fleetwood Mac, Tears for Fears, Shania Twain, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, I even remember some Flashdance, too! Check them out for sure! Great time!
