Hi friends. Since the Skeleton Key Folk Music Center is shut down, I've been posting set lists on my regular page with the thought that more people might see them there. Due to various Imperial entanglements, we are now featuring "Street Music", "Thick Air" and "Elston Gunnn" at the Big Bear Mountain Brewery on Red Ant Hill (original Big Bear Masonic Lodge 1925 - 1968).

The Skeleton Key Band is now appearing at the Big Bear Mountain Brewery on Friday and Saturday evenings from 8pm until 11pm. The Brewery is on Big Bear Blvd. at the top of Red Ant Hill. The historic wooden building was constructed by Bill Knickerbocker in 1927 as the original Big Bear Masonic Lodge. Who can guess what mysterious Illuminati meetings were held here in the times of our ancestors. Now they serve delicious microbrewed beer (try the Orange Blossom Amber) and great food. And Now : The Best Live Music in Town!
