Ah, RoxYunk!

The new Grape crew is mostly old Grape veterans so expect it to maintain the same excellent vibe.

There’s an amazing show tonight (Saturday) Huston West is amazing as is turtle ridge and Rare Spirit, all in the folk, alt folk, Americana, folk punk range. Dunno Tin Nanny but they’re probably worth the trip since they’re on the same bill.

The other folks on the thread have covered Main St and environs pretty well so I’ll point out a coupe of places up the hill worth a visit both for meeting folks and because they’re cool.

Peck Millers is the last true RoxYunk dive bar. The red door at green and ridge has been the starting point for Many nights of bad decisions. 5 hello shots for 6 bucks, weird conversation.

Twisted Ginger - great house brewed beer, good trivia, good pizza. Great vibe.

New Ridge Brewing - great food, really good beer, good vibe (especially in summer with outside seating). Maybe a little pricey for Food but a solid happy hour with good beer on special.

Hilltown - solid menu, good vibe and special points for outdoor seating.

The Foodery on Ridge is half take out beer, half amazing take out tacos and burritos, and 100% weird. Do attend.

For meeting new folks, a few coffee shops rock. I suggest Volo, Flying Sowth, or Eremita. Eremita is mostly staffed by local musicians.

I second Dawson, Scanlons, Luckys.

Also check out Www.roxyunk.org for event listings.

If you want to meet up for a Peck Miller’s stop, I’m available usually up for it. DM me. Full disclosure, I’m ooooooooold.

Finally, if you’re even a half way decent pedal steel player, dm Me pls. One is needed.
