Join us for Thursday Trivia at the taproom. Emcee Dr. Todd brings years of experience stumping his players with challenging questions and plenty of wit. Trivia, food and brew are a winning combination so see you there!

Join us for an evening of music from 3 very talented artists: Adam Femino of OC45 (Boston), Bob Gibson of Sharkfist (Detroit), and Charley Monteleone of Ate Bit (NYC). A musical event not to be missed!

Described as “Indie World,” Papa Muse blends rock and world music with catchy hooks and funky dance-able grooves. Papa Muse has been compared to the Talking Heads, Rusted Root, Paul Simon, Devo and Rush. It’s danceable and intelligent music.

The songs are polished and often move in different directions to make them unpredictable and fresh. The lyrics are meaningful and often present an altruistic vision for humanity, deep yet relatable and easy to digest.

The live show is dynamic and interactive, so while the message behind the music can be deep and introspective, the live show is light, whimsical and fun. “I want to inspire a sense of community empowerment and affect positive change, but without sounding preachy, so I try to keep my live show light and fun while singing about what matters most to me.”

Wilkes-Barre’s Brendan Brisk Band is riding a wave of momentum that is only beginning to
crest. After 2016’s self-produced Astral Counterfeit, leader Brisk sought to bring his lush,
textured studio productions to the stage and found ready collaborators in drummer Justin
Malinowski, bassist Bernard Gavlick, and trumpeter Miles Orfanella. This lineup recorded 2020’s
LP Relaxylvania and latest EP Never Everywhere, records which move effortlessly from the
laid-back and atmospheric to frenzied extroversion; from the earthly and personal to the spectral
and ethereal.
On stage, Brendan Brisk Band’s performances are fueled by collective improvisation and
anchored by a sometimes mellow, sometimes driving, and always danceable rhythm. The group
draws on soul, jazz, funk, R&B, psychedelia, and the blues to bring its audience to a place of
inspiration and creativity, abstracted from the daily grind of obligation and ambition. Having
shared the stage with prominent regional acts Cabinet, Consider the Source, West End Blend,
and Yam Yam, Brendan Brisk Band hopes to further extend their reach and explore the festival
sphere.
