YES!  We WILL be in the tap room on Monday 4 July.  We create our own type of fireworks, as it were… Play on your heart strings with our velvet tones and nimble finger-picking styles!  Come celebrate with us!

The sea music festival behind us, as well as Survivor’s Night, we’re returning to our regular format in the tap room on Monday nights.  Come join us for beer and merriment!  And a few laughs!

Joseph has finally put out his own recording… A tavern sing setup in which a room full of tavern goers raise their voices to the rafters!  Come on down to the Gris and get your copy – complete with an insert explaining a bit about the songs and when you put your disk into your computer you can access the accompanying song book in PDF format.

After some discussion with various parties of direct interest it has been decided that we WILL be hosting the annual “Survivor’s Night” on Monday, 13 June.  So regard this as a call for performers should you have an interest – SURVIVOR’S NIGHT @ the Gris wherein various musicians and groups come to perform in turn on our “stage” in the back “covered bridge” room.  This is a concert format rather than a regular tavern night, but we plan to have a speaker in the tap room for those of you who wish to chat and not overpower the singer-guests.  Look through our photos to see the previous years’ events!  No electric instruments or complicated setups, please – we just don’t have the time or the room.  Request that you stick to “old songs”, not necessarily nautical, but this isn’t an “open mic night” so classic rock, show tunes, &c are out of place.  Please contact me at [email protected] for arrangements.

And speaking of old songs, I have updated the page for “Oh Good Ale, Thou Art My Darling“.

SO happy to see our man Dan come on up from NYC to spend an evening with us!  And thank you Donna for snapping this pic!

As requested, the lyrics to six “new” songs have been added to our database…

• Alabama John Cherokee
• The Chandler’s Wife
• Chaunticleer
• Isle Au Haut
• Sally Brown
• Wanderer

Rick is back from holiday in the UK and we’ll be a complete band again.  Come on down and welcome the man back!  And it being the merry month of May we’ll pull out some of our seasonal songs – Hal an Tow – to welcome in the May.  Come one sing all!!

Cliff will be back from “holiday” this coming Monday the 4th.  Rick will be away for the last two weeks of this month.  And there’s a couple of “extra” gigs we have this month… We’ve REALLY been enjoying all the participation of all of you in the songs!  I wonder what this Monday will bring?!

Cliff is away on some much needed holiday for the next coupla weeks… We’re down to three during that time.  All the more reason you should join us and help fill in the space!

Thank you all for your support during St-Pats day!  We had a splendid time and it appears so did you!
