Fred Gillen Jr. with guest Kevin Keating LIVE at The Tram

Fred Gillen Jr and Kevin Keating both played a show together in Utica for the first time almost 25 years ago at the infamous VBLP's Coffeehouse. A quarter of a century later, they are sharing a stage again at the venerable Arts District Venue which is the new incarnation of the original VBLP's, known to Uticans as The Tramontane Cafe, or "The Tram". Fred Gillen Jr is now based out of Athens NY and plays extensively throughout the regional folk scene, delivering heartfelt songs with honesty, humor, and some footstomping gusto alongside easy-to-singalong-with choruses. Kevin has maintained a major presence on the local Utica-and surrounding area music scene with his unique songcraft skills and everyman approach with his subject matters. Kevin plays a diverse range of venues along with hosting several popular Open Mics, always being a consistant and strong supporter of the local music scene. We at The Tram are so pleased to host an evening in Our Listening Room Environment with these two amazingly talented singer/songwriters. Advance sale seating is available for $10 at the Tramontane or online via eventbrite. The Tram in located at 1105 Lincoln Ave in Utica; parking is available in the lot on the north side of the building, plus there is plenty of street parking and overflow parking in the lot across the street (The Bargain Grocer - store closes at 6pm). Handicap access ramp on the front entrance of the Lincoln Ave side. Doors open at 6pm, show starts at 7pm. Full cafe menu available throughout the event.
