Our last live music event was fabulous and we want to thank Michael for sharing his experience with us!

🙌 "What a stunning success! An inspired concept, executed expertly. I have seen a lotta music and this was unique in my experience. Bravo to all. Jazz is so ignored these days. Wish it weren't so. Fitzgerald's is a worthy partner and their chefs rolled out a nice spread. Great touch. A splendid time was had by all over on this side. Thanks for setting this up."

Join us for another night of live music! Step into the swinging '60s at the historic Cheney Mansion on Friday, October 23 from 6:00-8:30P. Our Beatles Cocktail Experience is a celebration of the Fab Four, complete with live tunes, a delicious appetizer spread brought to you by BABYGOLD Barbecue, and the timeless charm of John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
