Potluck:
It’s a weeknight, and some might not have time to make a dish. We would rather you came anyway! Bring something else like beverages to share. or some local whiskey. or upside-down cake.
Of course if you can bring a dish, we really appreciate it!
The house will provide a main course. If you have special dietary needs, it is best to make sure you have yourself covered.

Why?
Because… Community. Some find it in a small mountain town, some find it at church or in a football stadium. We find it together, where we gather for music. To listen, dance, sing, and play. On Third Wednesdays we gather for food and music at Shelley’s. We concentrate on local acts, and encourage collaboration.

Local meaning Longmont, the Front Range, and Colorado. We will take on out-of-state acts when it seems right, but supporting local artists is big for us.

Act meaning more than one musician. We encourage those usually solo to whip-up a duo or a band and to collaborate to do something unique in front of our listening crowd. As Wednesdays are a school/work-night for most folks, we’re going to stick to one act for this series (at least to start) though we’ll always welcome our friend Kevin Dooley to “sing us out of supper” and aim us towards the nights’ music.
