Merrill Shepard Solo Acoustic

Hi everyone,

It is not exactly a “Sunny Sunday” and I’m sorry to inform you that we will not be having music at Slainte today!

“So then I went over to Rabbit’s house to– Piglet, are you even listening to me?”

It may not be all-out pouring rain (yet) but unfortunately it’s just cool and breezy enough not to be considered ideal weather for kicking back out on the patio.  Of course, the coming week is forecast to be clear skies and temps in the 90’s… gotta love these New England summers!

Weather permitting, I will be back on the patio at Slainte NEXT SUNDAY, 7/17, to play from 1pm – 3pm, and I will be followed by Rakish Paddy who will take the stage from 3pm – 6pm!  So enjoy your day today and we’ll see you next week!

Take your pick of these three, wonderful venues (or maybe enjoy them all!) where I will be performing live music all this weekend!

FRIDAY, 7/8, 7pm – 10pm, at The Student Prince & Fort Cafe in Springfield
8 Fort Street, Springfield, MA

SATURDAY, 7/9, 6pm – 9pm, OUTDOORS on the NEW PATIO at Nathan Bill’s Bar & Restaurant in Springfield
110 Island Pond Road, Springfield, MA

SUNDAY, 7/10, 3pm – 6pm OUTDOORS on the beautiful, garden patio at Slainte in Holyoke
80 Jarvis Ave, Holyoke, MA

Gonna be a great weekend!  Come and join me for some acoustic tunes, a bite to eat and a cold beer!  Indoors in the AC or outside under the sun!

Happy Fourth of July weekend!

You’ll find me playing acoustic covers today out on the beautiful patio at Slainte in Holyoke!  Stop in for a cold beer and a bite to eat and kick back while I provide the live music.

80 Jarvis Ave, Holyoke, MA

I’ll be performing from 3pm – 6pm! 

Join us this evening at Raven Hollow Winery in Westfield!  This is a beautiful, outdoor spot where I will be performing acoustic covers under the tent from 6pm – 8pm!

Bring a picnic dinner or grab a sandwich right next door from the sister deli & convenience store, Kosinski Farms, kick back and try out some wonderful, locally crafted wines!

UNFORTUNATELY we are forced to cancel today’s edition of outdoor music at Slainte for winds just high enough to pose a reasonable threat to drinks, patio umbrellas and certain pieces of electronic equipment..

“Goodness me, Vivian, but I just don’t know how we can expect to keep our sangrias from tipping over in this gale!”

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and hope to see everyone a week from Sunday when we return to our regularly scheduled, al fresco, solo acoustic programming!

It might be cool and rainy today but tomorrow’s forecast predicts sun and temps in the mid-seventies so join us on the patio at Slainte in Holyoke!
Enjoy a cold drink and some delicious appetizers on this beautiful outdoor deck while I provide the live music.  I’ll be singing and playing from 3pm – 6pm!

80 Jarvis Ave, Holyoke, MA

It’s looking like a beautiful night to sit outdoors so come and join us at the tented picnic tables in this scenic field in Westfield!  I’ll be providing the acoustic tunes at Raven Hollow Winery from 6pm – 8pm!

Bring a picnic dinner or grab a sandwich right next door from the sister deli & convenience store, Kosinski Farms, kick back and try some of the wonderful wines these people have crafted
