Live music

People come into our tavern and say they first played in it fifty years ago. The Berkshires have a rich musical tradition, we’re a little part of it! James Taylor played on the lawn in the summer of 1970; Randy Weston would play here; Arlo Guthrie has come through; there’s a rumor that Bob Dylan was once in attendance. We have a groovy poster from when “Stephanie” played here when it was Alice’s. Johnny Irion revitalized the program a few years ago, and now we generally have a show every night the bar is open.
