26 Jan 2026.  Sorry for the unexpected snow day/evening.  The Gris was still clearing away from winter storm Benjamin, and it was thought convenient to simply cancel.  But we fully expect to return next Monday!

Some time ago, in an effort to get more people to come in this time of year, we began the occasional “theme night”.  This coming Monday the 15th, we’ll have our annual “Pirate Night”.  Come attired as your favourite pirate and join us in song.

Here we were, on the main stage, Friday evening, 6 June 2025!  In front of the Connecticut River Museum, Essex, CT.  Photos by Charlie Ipcar.

We’ll be one of the featured performers at this year’s CT Sea Music Festival in Essex,  CT.  6, 7, 8, 9 June.

We’ll celebrate our “Christmas” this coming Monday the 23d.  If you join us or off on travel, we hope that you’ll have a safe, happy, healthy season!

Merry Cliffmas!  We celebrated Cliff’s 80th birthday, with fantastic contributions and fanfare by our regular Gris family!

Our Halloween will be Monday the 28th!  Come dressed as you fav ghost, goolie, cosplay, whatever!
