Time will also be set aside for open mic/karaoke-style entertainment.

“We are also looking forward to Kevin Longfield joining us for the evening performance and sharing his considerable experience,” said Mackrell.

Mackrell said the intent of the shows is to bring the community together to share, enjoy and have fun. The first show takes place on Saturday, Oct. 22.

It will be suitable for ages 16 and up.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and bar service will be available.
