Pass a cold February day with friends as The Rock Shack is transformed into the "Acoustic Shack" with tables and chairs (first come, first served), complimentary warm beverages, and music to make your soul glow! This acoustic/unplugged lineup features performamces by some great up and coming local artists. Lupe Dragon's soulful voice and genre-bending melodies paint vivid sonic landscapes. Ruby West, an Indie Rock band with influences of 90s grunge and 80s synth-pop, writes and performs original music with standout powerful, emotive vocals from the band’s multi-octave range lead singer Brittany Ramaglia. Jeremy Abrams introduces a fresh wave of sad boi tunes, inspired by his pop-punk, emo, and alt rock favorites. Sam Tunkel is an indie artist whose pensive, haunting lyrics will mesmerize you. This is sure to be a special afternoon. Then stick around for a great rock show that night.
