Friday, January 2, 2026 $35 Advance | $38 Day of Show Doors 7pm | Show 8pm For over 40 years, the Funky White Honkies have been the areas top party band. They invade the Narrows for big dance party. The tables and chairs will be removed for a large dance floor and a good time will be had by all. Led by the fearlessly un-selfconscious and immensely talented Dinty Child, (perhaps best-known for being a member of Boston roots/rock masters Session Americana), the Funky White Honkies are a rag tag band of fine New England music veterans. More of a 'tribe' than a band, the Honkies have been around for years, providing a gorgeously joyous and free dance experience for people of every age, leanings, stripe, and style. With it's large, rotating band of expert players, and under the spontaneous direction of Dinty, the Honkies converge for one purpose only: to get down and get dirty, laying down a set of grooves that start loose, and build inexorably to nothing less than pure, transcendent jazz/funk/punk fueled cacaphony. On a typical Honkies night (or afternoon; they dig those beach party gigs) Horn players roam about New Orleans style, the washboard player grins under his […]
Saturday, January 3, 2026 $30 Advance | $32 Day of Show Doors 7pm | Show 8pm Calling all Deadheads!! For the past 40 years, The Pearly Baker Band has been playing Grateful Dead music their way, with some Stones, Beatles, Allman Bros, and JJ Cale thrown in for good measure. Whenever they play a party breaks out. Please join them for what promises to be a sweet and sweaty evening--Let there be songs to fill the air! Please note that the dance floor will be open for this performance. Pearly Baker Band just celebrated their 40th birthday in May and they are continuing our anniversary year celebration. “It’s improvisational music, which is very American, like the Dead, we use American folk-based, blues-based, rock-based music as a vehicle to play improvisational music. We never play a song the same way twice, and we like to take chances.”- Kenny Richards of Pearly Baker Band
ABOUT THE SHOW Inspired by the painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, Sunday in the Park with George, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's stunning masterpiece, merges past and present into beautiful, poignant truths about life, love and the creation of art. One of the most acclaimed musicals of our time, this moving study of the enigmatic painter, Georges Seurat, won a Pulitzer Prize and was nominated for an astounding ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The days leading up to the completion of his most famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, Georges Seurat is struggling to make meaningful art and maintaining a relationship with his lover, Dot. Amid the scorn of the artistic community, Seurat's artistic ability thrives while his love diminishes. A century later, Seurat's descendant – named George and also an artist – finds himself burnt out and in search of what artistic path to follow, but he finds the answer to his future in the past. Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM Book by JAMES LAPINE Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine Orchestrations by Michael Starobin Originally Produced on […]
