We’re excited to reopen with a refreshed vision, dedicated to high-quality, intentional, and artistic music where audiences can truly connect with the performers. Our goal is to gradually cultivate an environment where the focus is on the music itself, transform the room into a true listening room, a room where people listen attentively and connect on a deeper level.

Some of you may know Grace, some of you may know the band, and some of you we are just meeting for the first time. So, we figured it was a good time to introduce the crew. Let’s be friends “Raised on Massachusetts’ South Shore, Grace Marshall has been performing for as long as she can remember—starting with “concerts” in her family’s living room before taking her music to stages. After college and serving in the Army National Guard, she discovered that music was where she truly belonged. Now an emerging force in the Boston music scene, she captivates audiences with her powerful vocals and heartfelt performances. She would write a love song about gluten, if only it loved her back…”

Jay Tagg has been a guitarist and singer in the Boston music scene for many years, most recently with country rock band Dalton & the Sheriffs, bringing his energy to stages nationwide. Enjoys cold beer and a cold Diet Coke, often ordered in tandem. Not a roller coaster guy. Fun Fact: Grace grew up across the street from Jay for over 15 years!

“Saying he knows Jay Tagg to get into bars, Dennis Walsh has also spent his recent years touring with Dalton & the Sheriffs, along with other Boston music projects. Holding it down on bass, Dennis also serves as the band’s audio tech, and will talk your ear off about fishing, the Carolina Panthers, and why Red Vines are better than Twizzlers.”

“Originally from New York (we don’t hold that against him… much), Dan Vassallo has been playing drums since he was 10 (after a short stint on viola…?!). Dan brings a wide range of musical influences and has held it down behind the kit in a long list of original and cover bands throughout New England.Not actually a criminal. We don’t think.”

“Joey Pantaleo’s love for music started early, growing up surrounded by musicians in his family. From South Shore bands to national touring acts, that spark has taken him to stages all around the country. Feels strongly that a Modelo should always come with a lime, that we should lift each other up, and that Dan Vassallo should go back to New York where he came from. (Kidding, Dan. Never leave us.)”
