Dinner is available with our kitchen open until 9pm. Reservations are strongly suggested—make yours HERE. We are an intimate 85-seat venue, so every seat is a great seat! While we do our best to accommodate all seating requests, they cannot be guaranteed. For the best experience, we recommend making reservations in even numbers (for example, a party of three may be seated with an additional guest). Doors open half an hour before showtime for those who will not be dining with us.
2025 International Acoustic Music Award winner and 2026 Canadian Folk Music Award nominee Robert Thomas has crafted songs for legends including, Kenny Rogers, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker, and the Dixie Chicks. As a staff writer for music publishing, Thomas was tasked with writing radio friendly songs and his diverse repertoire reflects that. Thomas writes songs we can all connect with - memorable sing along melodies, ear friendly lyrics couched in an array of grooves - all introduced with a masterful, often humorous, repartee that harkens back to the story telling era of Mark Twain and Stuart Maclean. Accompanied on fiddle, mandolin, guitar, keyboards and percussion by the “sessionmen” - Ray Legere and Jon Arsenault - whose credits in their own right include, Alison Krauss, Rita MacNeil, Doc Watson, Tony Rice and The Chieftains - Thomas delivers beautiful, energetic Folk/Americana mixed with a touch of Bluegrass that has captivated audiences across North America and Europe.
Hugh Christopher Brown of the Barenaked Ladies sums up the Live artistry of Robert Thomas and the sessionmen –
“Watching Robert’s set, I felt the presence of a true arrow songwriter and unbelievably talented musicians. It sent me back immediately to playing with Guy Clark on mountain stage and artists that have built the north American songbook.”
Grammy Winner Rodney Crowell sums up the songwriting of Robert Thomas and the sessionmen –
“These boys really know what they’re doing.”
The Americana Music Association says –
“Highly Recommended…five stars”
