2nd Wednesdays
The guidelines are simple. Maybe you have a couple of tunes that you’ve been preparing. Perhaps you feel the need to share your poetry with others. From the sublime to the ridiculous — Can you can make a bowing ball suddenly drop out of
a copy of Reader’s Digest, or hook up a medley of fruit to some computer electrodes and play the Moonlight sonata? Or maybe just play your favorite Dylan song. There’s no admission fee and the bar will be open.
Doors open at 6 PM. The event starts at 7 PM. Registration is on a first come-first served basis.

The Nields -- Special Sunday Evening Show7pm

The Mainstay is excited to welcome the powerful, musical, and magical acoustic duo The Nields to our stage. Often heralded for their DNA-blended sibling harmonies (think Everly Brothers, The McGarigles, and of course the Andrews Sisters), Nerissa and Katryn’s shows are also coupled with their oft-hilarious stage banter, and direct engagement with their audience. As evidence of their high esteem in the acoustic music world, they have opened for James Taylor, The Band, The Indigo Girls, and Ani DiFranco.
Apple Music describes their sound as “equal parts The Beatles, the Cranberries, and Joni Mitchell.” A concertgoer perhaps put it best when they said “If you don’t like The Nields you need to get your ears checked.”
