From Thor. It’s been so long since I’ve had to cancel a gig due to illness, but I just can’t swing it tonight. This flu-like thing is taking me for a ride. Apologies to and all of the good folks who have been supporting us in that area.
We will return, soon!

Join us for the 1st Annual Memorial Day Bluegrass Picnic!

We are closing down our parking lot for a family-friendly day of fun! Four amazing bluegrass bands will be playing throughout the day on a full stage at the back of our lot. We’ll be pouring from an outdoor draft tent featuring our meads as well as some fantastic guest beers. Mead slushies and margarita station say wha?!? The Crafted Kitchen will be slinging pizza by the slice and we’ll also have some of our favorite food trucks and a shaved ice stand here as well! Art from the Hart will be here from Hartville with a fun craft activity for the kiddos. Come to Suffield early for the parade that begins at 10AM and passes just in front of our location...watch for the Crafted float (we’ll be throwing out honey straws!) and then head on over to our place. Throughout the day we’ll be taking time to pay respect to those that have made the ultimate sacrifice in giving us the freedoms we have. We can’t wait to see you!
