Voluntown, a small Connecticut country town that borders Rhode Island was excited to be the home of a new venue called The Acoustic Brew. Todd and Gayle opened The Acoustic Brew as a way to bring good, live, local music to their quiet hometown. It had a great vibe, they never charged a cover, the […]
Ahhh…Valentine’s Day! A day for lovers! A day to express love to your one and only! Whether it’s with a kiss, a rose, fine chocolates, etc. the day is designated to those in love. For some, a romantic dinner is the perfect way to celebrate. For others, like Mike and I who have been married […]

Often the decision can be a difficult one to make, taking into consideration the type of music we’re in […]
It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen my “Sugar” friends so Friday night after a long work week and very little energy Mike and I dragged ourselves to The Knickerbocker Cafe in Westerly to say hello.
