Tammy Pescatelli

Specializing in old-school hip hop and instrumental tracks straight off the wax, a good time is all but guaranteed in this weekend’s holiday glow, and Handlebar is a great place to take ex-pat visitors this weekend.

Chris Beard Band

Beard’s recently released Eye of the Witch disc goes far to establish his own playing style and uniquely commanding voice while showcasing some new writing collaborations and a pair of great backing bands, one of which will be with him Saturday, November 28 at Buffalo Iron Works.
