Thank you Beyond James for choosing the next Cinquefoil as a top pick for January events!

"If your New Year’s resolution involved exploring different types of music, look no further than the Cinquefoil series. Their concerts are eclectically programmed, with each event curated among a different theme and often by a different individual who gathers five artists to play for roughly ten minutes each. Audience members sit on either side of the stage, surrounding the performers, creating an intimate setting reminiscent of a house party. Assisting the party atmosphere is the extended intermission and after-concert party at the venue, in which artists and audience members mingle while enjoying drinks from Fairweather Brewing Company. Be warned- with approximately sixty tickets available for each concert to encourage the intimate setting, these evenings sell out quickly."
