Comin up!
There are so many good things happening we’re having trouble keeping up with the blog posts! Last weekend we had our first sold out show with Angie Nussey, with many more to come! It was just a great show. Some of Angie’s long time fans were there and said “This is the best venue we have ever seen Angie at!”
The weekend before last, we had the pleasure of meeting and hearing Gina Horswood. Who knew so much talent was right here in our surroundings!?? We do now! Gina was incredible and we were so lucky to have her playing as a duo with bass player and vocalist Brandon Munday. We can’t wait to have Gina and Angie back next year!
Check out the pics below from the two shows, and if you’d like a little peak into the space if you haven’t been yet - have a listen to some fun with Angie Nussey as she has some fun looping some tracks below.

Up Next!
Up Next is Cody Ellis, playing tomorrow, Saturday August 9th. If you don’t have tickets, I’m sorry but there are only 2 left….looks like it will be another sold out show.
Then - on TUESDAY August 12th, Cam Galloway is playing. His show is 70% SOLD, so if you’re planning on coming, now is the time to get tickets!
Next Thursday August 14th and Friday August 15th, we are so thrilled that Joel Plaskett is coming! His Friday show is sold out, but thursday is at around 30% SOLD - so get your tickets if you don’t have them yet!
A week later, on Thursday August 21st, we are so lucky to have Kenny Munshaw coming to play - our piano is getting tuned on Monday before hand!! This show is SOLD OUT, so we hope you already have your tickets!
On Friday August 22nd, we are so looking forward to having The Fretless featuring Madeleine Roger come to Duke’s Live Music. This group is incredible, with 4 String players and a vocalist. A supergroup of celebrated solo artists, The Fretless has been creating a singular and signature sound that dares to expand the idea of what a string music quartet can be—transforming fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, beautiful, high-energy arrangements that have quickly gained a dedicated following and accolades from around the world. We have been looking forward to this show all summer. We can’t believe we are going to have this whole 5 person group playing for us over the water as the sun is setting. You will never forget this show. Check out this video for a taste of what’s coming….and get your tickets early so you’re not disappointed!
For our last show of the summer, we KNOW this will sell out, and we can’t wait to have him back - we are again welcoming Tobin Spring on Thursday August 28th. If you haven’t been to see one of his shows here, it’s not too late. Get your tickets here!
Fall Preview
We are booking a few shows for the fall and wanted to give you a heads up before we even post them! Details to come soon on those that aren’t posted yet.

Right up after Paddy will be Old Man Luedecke on Friday September 12th!! Who’s he….well you’d better check him out. We have listened to so much of his music over the years. Here is a little glimpse into this artist. His tickets go on sale Friday August 15th at noon, so mark your calendars and get tickets for Old Man Luedecke’s show.
Also…this is not quite public yet, but word on the street is that James Gray is releasing a new album! He played at Duke’s Live Music in July - and he’s COMING BACK! He’s coming on Friday October 10th, which is Friday of the thanksgiving weekend, and he’ll be playing at Duke’s as the FIRST SHOW of his new album release tour! We cannot wait! Tickets aren’t posted for this yet either, but they will be soon!
There are a few other things brewing for the fall…but for now we are just enjoying these shows happening now - it is going so quickly!
