A little Malena, too!

We’re extremely fortunate to have such talented musicians in Southeastern Connecticut and Rhode Island providing so many opportunities for a fun night out (you’ll hear me say this over and over again.) Often the decision can be a difficult one to make, taking into consideration the type of music we’re in the mood for, the venue, dinner, start and end time, who else is going, when we last saw the musician(s), who we’re overdue to see, etc. Sometimes it’s a strategic decision…sometimes it’s a last minute whim.

Friday nights can be tough to plan as I never know if I’ll have enough energy to be a rockstar! A quiet dinner and acoustic music is often the ideal ending to a long work week. Other times friends start reaching out during the week itching to make plans for a fun Friday night and the energy builds naturally with the excitement of a fun evening ahead.

That’s just how it played out last night. I knew all week Pirates for Peace at The Irons was where I wanted to be and from there the party just came together. We arranged to meet some friends for dinner prior to the show while others came for drinks. Even better, there were several unexpected surprises!

Pirates for Peace is band of four very talented musicians playing classic rock & roll with a few oldies but goodies! Their song selections and playful personalities keep the audience engaged; singing, dancing and smiling all night.

Scott, Steve, Mike and Marc are well respected, seasoned musicians that can be found playing locally in other bands and acoustic duos, as well. That’s why it’s not uncommon to see local musicians enjoying a Pirates for Peace show on one of their rare nights off.

The Pirates are very supportive of fellow musicians, as well, often inviting them on stage to join in a song or two, showcasing their talent and spreading love and peace! The camaraderie shared among the musicians is heart warming. If you haven’t seen The Pirates yet and want to join the fun be sure check out the upcoming events on their Facebook page.
