Come in for some great classics with other favorites thrown in as well.
Join Long Hill String Band every FIRST Thursday of the month. These sessions are 100% acoustic, run 7-9 and all are welcome to bring an instrument and play.
A bit about the Long Hill String Band:
The Long Hill String Band, with fiddle, banjo, mandolin, upright bass, guitar and voice, plays Old-Time music, also called American roots music or bluegrass, although Old Time is the predecessor to blue grass. The music includes reels, jigs, square dance tunes, waltzes, rags and ballads, and tunes to sing along with.
The music dates mostly to the 1800’s with its roots principally from England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and Africa. Settlers from these areas carried with them tunes and instruments from their homelands to the Appalachian mountains and valleys, where they created a new music style that embodied their hardships, joys, and experiences.
The Long Hill String Band is comprised of Karl Varnai (fiddle), George Skic (bass), Bob Bell (banjo, vocal), Charlie Pearlman (guitar, vocal), Bob Safranek (mandolin), and Ron Steveson (fiddle, vocal).
Ben Clark has been writing and performing music over half his life. A southern Indiana native, he has lived in NYC for over a decade, performing at iconic venues such as The Cutting Room, Sony Hall, Granmercy Theatre, High Line Ballroom, and Radio City Music Hall.
Ben has composed two musicals, and won the Kennedy Center National Musical Theatre Award for The Circus in Winter. His songs “Red” and “Hallucinate” were featured in the 2019 film A Score to Settle starring Nicolas Cage. His most recent release, Music has been a long time coming, and sees Ben honing his storytelling skills. The new EP focuses on the passage of time, the weight of age, the pursuit of passion, and the depths of desire. He is happiest on stage, playing new songs and old, for people looking to live in the moment, not knowing what story might come next.
An acoustic Beatles tribute band that brings the timeless classics of the iconic British band to life with an authentic and captivating energy. Their repertoire includes a wide variety of classic Beatles songs from different eras, as well as deep cuts and many tracks that were never performed live by the Beatles themselves.
What sets The Britles apart is their attention to detail in recreating the sound and feel of the original recordings, which is truly impressive. Their incredible musicianship and harmonies capture the essence of the Beatles, making each performance a truly unforgettable experience that will transport audiences back in time. The band has performed at a variety of venues throughout New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania, including music festivals, bars, breweries, vineyards and private events, where they have developed a loyal following of fans who appreciate their authentic and high-energy performances.
If you're a fan of the Beatles or just love classic music, be sure to catch The Britles in action for an evening that will have you singing along and dancing to the sounds of one of the greatest bands in music history.

The second AND fourth Thursday of EVERY month! That means its time for our Irish Seisiun! What is an Irish Seisiun?
Unlike a performance, the musicians at a seisiun are playing for enjoyment as much for each other as for anyone who comes to listen. There are a core group of players, and others who drop in now and then. In fact, we never know who will show up or what instruments they will play—all completely acoustic and unamplified bringing the barn to life organically!
Usually one person will start a tune, and those who know it join in. Musicians play until they feel like stopping or switch tunes. The origin and spirit of this music is in playing for dancers. If Irish dancers drop by to this seisiun, they will be welcome, too! Feel free to make requests if you know an Irish tune.
To this group of musicians, virtuosity is less valued than the collective effort.

Greg is a longtime member (guitar, backing vocals) of Philadelphia rock band Desoto Jones. During many years of songwriting with friends and co-musicians, he also had written and arranged dozens of songs that were never performed or recorded by either group. In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, he recorded his first solo-EP 'Learning.' It was one of the most memorable and inspiring recording efforts of his life. In late 2022, he returned to the studio to record a follow up EP entitled “Cannonball” to continue the process of bringing these unheard songs to life.
Greg's music heavily influenced by the big melodies of early 90s alternative acts and the intimate soundscapes of early 70s singer/songwriter icons. He grew up listening to bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, etc. but has been equally influenced by melodic singer/songwriters like Jackson Brown, David Crosby and Duncan Sheik.

At his core, the introspective 47-year-old Montrey is the prototypical road-worn artist who has lived enough life to pour those experiences into his craft with uncompromising honesty. From passing family members, going through a divorce, having a child, and starting a business running music programs for adults with disabilities, adulthood’s joys and tests have all etched their marks into his soul over the last turbulent decade-plus.
In terms of legacy, Montrey has been a fixture in the music scene long enough to avoid clichés about musical journeys; his work speaks for itself. His previous collaborations with names like Grammy-winning producers Jim Scott and Marc Swersky brought different flavors to his music. However, with Love, Time & Mortality, Montrey brings us into his most personal songwriting yet.
Aided by an impeccable cast of musicians, like pedal steel wizard Jack Stanton and upright bassist Mike Noordzy, vocalist Jen Augustine, Santo Rizzolo on drums, violinist Nicole Scorsone, and John Ginty on Hammond B3 organ, Vintage Vibe, and piano, every passage hits with uncanny human warmth and intimacy. Just absorb the gorgeous closer “Emotionally Yours,” where Montrey’s gruff baritone wraps itself around Bob Dylan’s timeless melody like a long-lost relative sharing sage advice by the fireside.
In the end, Montrey emerges as that song’s namesake – an emotionally rich storyteller baring his soul and psyche in a brutally honest fashion. Love, Time & Mortality is his State of the Human Condition address, confronting our deepest strifes and joys without filter or copious arty pretense getting in the way.

James visits the Barn for the first time bringing a bluesy, neo jazz acoustic mix.
Erika Sherger is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from Northern New Jersey. Though she has been writing songs and playing instruments since she was a child, she was essentially a closet songwriter for many years, practicing guitar and using songwriting as a tool to process her emotions. After life circumstances conspired in just the right way to make her ready to share her music, Erika went to her first open mic in 2019. She felt at home immediately in the warm and supportive music community in Northern NJ and she immersed herself in the local music scene. Before long, she began recording her music and playing shows with some of the new friends she met on her musical journey.
Erika's songs are honest and raw responses to the different emotional terrain she has traversed, from found and lost love, losing her mother to ALS, to riding her completely blind horse, Levon.
Erika openly embraces the beauty and pain of life, and her voice (both figuratively and literally) is clear and powerful. The emotional rawness of her songs really reach into the heart and have been known to evoke deep emotion in some listeners. The autobiographical style of her songs, set among an indie folk/ Americana landscape, tells stories with courage and humility. Erika's songs ring true with an authenticity that is enhanced by her unique and memorable vocal style, which is most often compared to Stevie Nicks, Linda Rondstadt and Natalie Merchant.
Erika grew up listening to the Beatles, the classic rock of the 60's and 70's, Neil Young, 80's pop (Pat Benatar and Cyndi Lauper), and favorite artists such as Peter Gabriel and the Grateful Dead. Her songwriting is heavily informed by Americana, indie folk and alt-country like Ryan Adams, Wilco, Iron and Wine and many others.
Erika can often be found playing songwriter shows or playing weekend gigs at bars, restaurants and coffee houses in New Jersey and Pennsylania. She released her first EP, Like Birds, in March 2021, a complication of 8 songs she wrote during COVID. Her second release, a full-length album of 12 songs called Bad Wolf, was released in March 2023. Erika is currently recording her third album, which she hopes to release in summer or fall of 2024.
Little Martin in hand, singer-songwriter Abbie Griffin is a traveling songbook. Aiming to bring her art and experiences to anyone who will listen, she is an opportunistic individual who writes and records any and all song inspiration. To quote her greatest inspiration, her musical grandmother, “The saddest yet happiest songbird you’ll ever meet, with that smile.” She drives her art and every action she takes in her life with her heart on her sleeve, and that is clearly translated on stage through her connections with audiences.

J.M. Clifford is a singer-songwriter and music educator from Brooklyn, NY. His music draws on Bluegrass, Folk and Americana. Clifford’s debut record, “On a Saturday Night,” was featured in The Bluegrass Situation and received rave reviews from Bluegrass Today and Holler Country. Clifford was an Official Showcase Artist at the 2023 IBMA Business Conference in Raleigh, NC. He is also an accomplished songwriter. His single “Slow Rolling Train” earned him a spot in the final round of the 2023 Rocky Mountain Songwriting Festival and the 2022 IBMA Songwriter Showcase. He was invited back to perform his latest single “Complicated Man” at the 2023 IBMA Songwriter Showcase. Clifford has toured nationally, and his end-of-summer lineup took him along the East Coast, featuring performances at The Outpost in North Carolina, The Highlands Bluegrass Festival in New York, and the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival in Maine.
Clifford’s upcoming record was produced by platinum-selling artist Ron Pope and features Bronwyn Keith-Hynes (fiddle), Seth Taylor (guitar), Jeff Partin (dobro), and Jeff Picker (bass). The record’s first single, “Complicated Man,” was released on September 20, 2023 and was added to the New Grass editorial Spotify playlist. His second single, “Raised in the Ashes” was added to Spotify’s Indy Bluegrass playlist.
When he’s not leading crowds in song, Clifford leads his students as a NYC elementary school music teacher and Director of the youth Bluegrass ensemble at The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music.
Wry Observations is sardonic, literary folk rock from New York’s Hudson Valley who plays primarily original songs yet you’ll find a few covers reimagined throughout his set in a delivery all his own. Playing steadily near and far, with an elusive ‘catch me while I’m passing through’ modus operandi, Wry Observations are no easy solo act to pin down online.Yet that’s kind of refreshing when that moment is simply happened upon and yet the chatter remains to keep him trucking on to the next stop in this day and age.
Jon Caspi & The First Gun are a multi-genre band, from heartland rock to punk, indie, Americana, anthem, and even folk...they do it all.
Caspi has been a longstanding figure in the NJ indie, singer/songwriter, alternative and punk scenes. In the late 80’s he fronted the new wave band Bouncing Off Bob, which charted on the national college radio CMJ Top 100. He started as a solo artist in the early 2000’s with the release of three albums, which received national radio play and one was converted into a musical theater production with sold out shows. His song This Town, about the town of Keyport, NJ, became a town “hit” resulting in the local diner naming a sandwich after him, called “The Caspi Special.”
In 2011, Caspi started revisiting his punk and American anthem roots with his band Jon Caspi & The First Gun. One of the band's major achievements came in the form of a barroom, hooligan, singalong and fan favorite, Raise ‘Em High! This song has become a cult hit in his home state of New Jersey. Legendary WFMU DJ, Jonesey, has selected this tune as his official 2pm toast song which has increased the band’s fanbase and is at the center of a large Facebook group. In 2022, they recorded a new version of the song with Jonesey listener and NYC music icon, Jesse Malin (D Generation), who sings on the track. Dez Cadena (Black Flag, Misfits), who was a member of The First Gun from 2017-2022 is also featured on the track. The band’s label, Fake Chapter Records, released the track on streaming platforms and on vinyl. A local brewery also released a beer, inspired by the track and called Raise Em High! The mayor of Aberdeen, NJ signed a proclamation making it the official beer of Aberdeen Day. The band has collaborated with other notable artists including Richard Holgarth (Eddie & The Hotrods, John Otway) and Pete Steinkopf (Bouncing Souls). A full-lenth is planned for late 2024/early 2025.
A compelling live artist and storyteller, Caspi, performs both with band and solo acoustic and has shared the stage with acts such as Bruce Springsteen, The Psychedelic Furs, The Gaslight Anthem, Glenn Tillbrook (Squeeze), The Smithereens, ~X~, Dramarama, Willie Nile, Jeffrey Gaines, Jesse Malin, The Dickies, Adolescents, The Wallflowers, & many more.

Her career took off with the release of her 6-track EP "Helium," which included the impactful anti-bullying song "Don't Let Them In," touching hearts worldwide. In 2019, she unveiled her first full-length album, "Brainwaves," a compilation of tales exploring the emotions tied to relationships, encompassing joy, sadness, anger, regret, envy, and laughter.

Lawlor attended and graduated from the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California in 1990, returned to New Jersey soon after, and played in various projects ranging from heavy metal to bluegrass. Lawlor’s playing has been described as fluid, singing legato lines with an undeniable blues basis, and jazzy undertones.
Lawlor’s versatile playing style sets him apart from his peers, most notably in a few prestigious guitar competitions. In 1993, he became a finalist in the “Guitar Player From Hell” competition-more recently, his victory in the national Guitarmageddon contest garnered him further fame. Lawlor defeated over 2,500 entrants from all over the country before a panel of industry judges in a live competition to win the coveted spot known as “Best Unsigned Guitarist in the Nation.” In a contest that judged originality, technique, and stage presence, his win allowed him to open up for Stone Temple Pilots at the Avalon Ballroom in Boston, as well as a flight out to the Fender Custom Shop in California. There, he designed a one-of-a-kind Custom Shop Master Built Stratocaster that he proudly plays at many of his current gigs.

It’s always been about the music for Kyle Hancharick, a singer/songwriter from
Warwick, New York. His passionate performances are punctuated by a crisp acoustic
guitar and soaring tenor vocals. This is best shown in his 2018 EP “Breathe,” a four
song project consisting only of acoustic guitar, bass and vocals. And that’s all that’s
needed for this artist whose roots are planted in contemporary folk music.
Kyle takes in the world, processes it and turns it into song with his own special touch.
He has a unique take on things, a view of the world others may not necessarily notice.
He continues to grow as an artist, sharing his story and messages of love and peace.
Above all, though, it’s still about the music.

The second AND fourth Thursday of EVERY month! That means its time for our Irish Seisiun! What is an Irish Seisiun?
Unlike a performance, the musicians at a seisiun are playing for enjoyment as much for each other as for anyone who comes to listen. There are a core group of players, and others who drop in now and then. In fact, we never know who will show up or what instruments they will play—all completely acoustic and unamplified bringing the barn to life organically!
Usually one person will start a tune, and those who know it join in. Musicians play until they feel like stopping or switch tunes. The origin and spirit of this music is in playing for dancers. If Irish dancers drop by to this seisiun, they will be welcome, too! Feel free to make requests if you know an Irish tune.
To this group of musicians, virtuosity is less valued than the collective effort.

With mirroring guitars on either side of the piano, the band’s symmetry reflects this balance between individuality and cohesion.
On their latest records and for select live shows, the trio is joined by percussion, brass, strings, and more instrumentation to expand their distinctive alternative-folk foundation.

A bit about the Long Hill String Band:
The Long Hill String Band, with fiddle, banjo, mandolin, upright bass, guitar and voice, plays Old-Time music, also called American roots music or bluegrass, although Old Time is the predecessor to blue grass. The music includes reels, jigs, square dance tunes, waltzes, rags and ballads, and tunes to sing along with.
The music dates mostly to the 1800’s with its roots principally from England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and Africa. Settlers from these areas carried with them tunes and instruments from their homelands to the Appalachian mountains and valleys, where they created a new music style that embodied their hardships, joys, and experiences.
The Long Hill String Band is comprised of Karl Varnai (fiddle), George Skic (bass), Bob Bell (banjo, vocal), Charlie Pearlman (guitar, vocal), Bob Safranek (mandolin), and Ron Steveson (fiddle, vocal).

Usually one person will start a tune, and those who know it join in. Musicians play until they feel like stopping or switch tunes. The origin and spirit of this music is in playing for dancers. If Irish dancers drop by to this seisiun, they will be welcome, too! Feel free to make requests if you know an Irish tune.
To this group of musicians, virtuosity is less valued than the collective effort.
Join us as we launch Trivia at the Brewery every Wednesday (except when a Flounder’s House Series show is scheduled! ) Trivia is FREE to participate.
Each night there will be two games, so don’t worry if you can’t get there at the start. First game is at 7 and the second is at 8. Hosted by Matt from the top national pub trivia team of Sporcle! Prize for the winner of each game every Wednesday!
No signups required, just come on by!
