A night of Gypsy Jazz & more tableside entertainment at Red Tractor Pizza
It’s safe to say Halley’s Comet will swing back around before most of us won’t feel like pizza, and our friends at Red Tractor have the fixins to satisfy any appetite. The local pizzeria also plays host to independent musicians and other events throughout the week to go along with its handcrafted rounds and wide selection of regional brews. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
Frequent Red Tractor performer Larry Kiff entertains on Tuesday, October 1st at 7pm. He’s an excellent guitarist and has been a country fan all his life, citing Buck Owens as his number one influence. Expect to hear older country tunes with covers of George Jones, Owens, Johnny Cash, and Charley Pride, just to name a few.
Bridger Creek Boys return to their usual Thursday slot on October 3rd at 7pm. The Boys are an acoustic bluegrass quartet steeped in old-time tradition, while also pushing the genre with newgrass. The band blends originals with covers of traditional bluegrass and more contemporary artists.
