Merrill Shepard Solo Acoustic

This Week’s TRIPLE THREAT Lineup!

Posted on July 23, 2015 by merrillreed

Come out to any of these great venues this weekend to catch the Merrill Shepard Solo Acoustic show and maybe a bite to eat or something to drink!

As a special bonus, on Friday and Sunday I will be joined for a few numbers by the very talented Jonny Taylor! Don’t miss the duo!

– FRIDAY, 7/24, 7pm – 10pm at Pinocchio’s Ristorante
2054 Bridge Street, Three Rivers, MA

Seriously excellent Italian fare to be enjoyed here. Impressive menu, savvy staff, comfortable atmosphere and delicious food and wines to pair. Back when I was living a bit closer, this place was a rather frequent indulgence!

– SATURDAY, 7/25, 9:30pm – 1am at McLadden’s Northampton
27 Pleasant Street, Northampton, MA

Only about a hundred craft beers on tap here to sample, not to mention the extensive bourbon & whiskey list and specialty cocktail menu. Darkened, moody, late-night pub atmosphere, very knowledgeable & friendly staff and tasty bar apps too, if you’re hungry!

– SUNDAY, 7/26, 3pm – 6pm on the patio at Sláinte Restaurant
80 Jarvis Ave, Holyoke, MA

…Quite possibly my favorite place to play! Beautiful, open-air patio surrounded by well-manicured flora. Attentive service, great food & cocktails, all-around awesome spot to sit and relax outdoors. Try the sangria!

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.

Here’s a quick run-down of what venues I have booked for the next couple of weeks –

First of all, tomorrow night – Friday, 6/19, from 6pm – 9pm I will be at Paddy’s Irish Pub on Wilbraham Road in Springfield! Lots of awesome craft beers on tap and Peppa’s Pizza is right next door (they literally share a wall, it’s great)

Then on Sunday, 6/21, which also happens to be FATHER’S DAY, I will be appearing again on the gorgeous patio at Slainte in Holyoke. Take Dad out for a drink and a bite to eat while I provide live acoustic covers! Weather permitting, I will be out there from 3pm – 6pm.

..Wait til the flowers REALLY get going.

Then, on Friday, 6/26, I am very excited to be performing as a duo with my good friend and the very talented guitarist Jonny Taylor at Bobby V’s Restaurant and Sports Bar in Windsor Locks, CT! We’ll be on from 6pm – 9pm and if I do say so myself, we sound great together so come on out!

Hope to see you there!
