Friday at Bobby V’s!

Posted on June 24, 2015 by merrillreed

I’m getting REALLY excited for our gig on Friday, 6/26 at Bobby V’s Restaurant & Sports Bar!

I’m joining forces with my friend, the very talented Jonny Taylor for this one and we’ve put together a fun, fresh new list of songs (some old favorites &some totally new!) for your enjoyment!

Jonny’s impressive skill with the guitar literally takes a great deal of the work out of my hands which lets me really dig into the vocals.  The two of us have worked out some great vocal harmonies together as well and we’re both very much looking forward to entertaining you!

Don’t miss this show, it’s a great venue and promises to be a great time.

I’ll be providing acoustic music from 3pm – 6pm today so come by, grab a table and sip on a nice cold Boston Beer Works Watermelon Ale or some house made red or white sangria while I entertain!

With the weather getting so nice, I think I’d like to go play outside!

Posted on June 2, 2015 by merrillreed

I’m VERY excited to announce several upcoming shows at several, beautiful, outdoor locations!

I know, I know.. we are in the middle of a rainy spell (which I think we really did need) but “Storms Never Last,” as they say, and the shows will go on!

This Friday evening, June 5th, from 6pm – 8pm, I’ll performing the first of several shows at Raven Hollow Winery in Westfield.  Bring your camp chairs and blankets and join us for Summer Music in the Hollow!

RHW 1

WINE!

I’ll be performing under a tent with limited seating available, rain or shine!  Try out some delicious wines and enjoy the day while I play!

RHW 3

Then, coming up on Sunday, June 7th, from 3pm – 6pm, I am thrilled to announce my return to one of my VERY favorite venues at Slainte in Holyoke!

..Wait til the flowers REALLY get going.

This photo only captures the very beginning stages of the beautiful planted flowers which surround this big, awesome patio.  As the season progresses, you’ll see less and less of the lattice as it disappears behind perfectly manicured flowers, vines, elephant ears and whatever else Kevin has planned.  Over their tops, all you can see are the mountains, trees and sky.

Try the sangria!

This is a supremely attractive outdoor spot to spend a couple of hours on a summer afternoon- and the food, drinks & service are all wonderful as well!  Currently, this weekend is the only Sunday at Slainte I have officially booked but I hope to make it a regular thing again so stay tuned for more information.

Lastly (for now), I will be appearing outdoors on the patio at Luxe Burger Bar in Springfield, on Saturday, June 13th, from 6pm – 9:30pm.

BURGERS! ..and COCKTAILS! Or BEER! It definitely isn't Burger King but you can have it your way.

BURGERS! ..and COCKTAILS! Or BEER!
It definitely isn’t Burger King but you can have it your way.  Try the Texas Mule.

It will be my first time here to play, but not to eat.  This place really does make a MEAN burger.  They also have a great selection of draught beers and specialty cocktails as well.

SO… it might be raining outside right now, and it’s not the most terrible thing but the sun will be back out soon.  After the bitterly cold winter we just had, I for one intend to enjoy the ever-loving HECK out of it this summer.

COME CELEBRATE the warm weather outdoors with me with music, food and drinks!   I’ll bring the tunes, you bring the company!

Thursday Night at McLadden’s in Northampton!

Posted on May 20, 2015 by merrillreed

 

I’m very pleased to announce my Northampton debut!

I will be bringing my acoustic song stylings to McLadden’s Irish Publick House in Northampton this Thursday night!

This is a fun place to hang out- I’ve always enjoyed the darkened, cozy, gastropub atmosphere.  They have great pub food & Irish fare, over 100 beers on tap and excellent, friendly, & knowledgeable servers (bartender Kate has wowed us more than once).

I am very excited for this show.  This will be an opportunity for me to put together a *slightly* more eclectic mix of songs than I might normally play at your typical sports bar.  Without totally losing sight of certain ‘fan favorites’, I plan to include a few more of the lesser-known, “indie” songs from my repertoire which don’t necessarily fall into the “Top 40” category.  Some of these songs are absolute favorites of mine, even though I don’t bring them out all that frequently and I hope will be enjoyed by anyone who might be interested to hear something new and a little different!

You’ll hear me truly singing from the heart at this show.  Come join us for a pint and a bite!

Thursday, 5/21/15, from 9:30pm – 12:00am
27 Pleasant Street, Northampton, MA
