Vinyl Night at Dawson St. Pub
2025-03-04 19:00 - 22:30 | Dawson Street Pub, Philadelphia, PA, 19127, United States
Calling all music lovers in the Manayunk/Roxborough area!
2nd edition of Vinyl Night at Dawson Street Pub Tuesday night, beginning around 7pm.
I’m hoping it will become an opportunity for music lovers in the neighborhood to come together and share their appreciation for music across all genres, from classics to hidden gems.
I’ll be bringing a variety of records from my collection of roughly 1200, so nothing is set in stone – I’ll gauge what people are feeling and change things up based on the vibe. Genre requests and feedback from attendees will be welcomed and much appreciated!
Going forward, I’m hoping to do more genre-specific theme nights and encourage fellow collectors to bring their own records. However, that all depends on the the response we get, so if you are interested please stop by and let me know what you’d like to hear!

Fairmount Strings play Mendelssohn’s Octet
2025-03-01 08:00 - 17:00 | PA
I know that sometimes I get hyperbolic, but the Mendelssohn octet is simply the greatest piece of chamber music ever devised by humans or God or anything.
I have been hunting a live performance of this piece for 20 years and now here it is in our backyard and we all have to go.

Rare Spirits, Cornflower Jam, Audrey and Friends, and Matt DiBlass at The Rusty Nail

Rare Spirits and Cornflower Jam are fantastic! Take it from me. I don’t know the other two bands but if they’re playing with Spirits and Cornflower, that’s a heavy endorsement.
And the Rusty Nail? That place is epic.

Rae The Band at The Twisted Tail
2025-01-03 19:30 - 23:00 | The Twisted Tail, 509 S. 2nd St.
A really fine band from NYC brings its music to us! Let’s not let them down.
I’d call them charming but that’d be damning them with faint praise. I’d call them majestic but that would make them sound like an ocean liner and RTB is so much more than that.
Don’t take my word for it, see for yourself!
