Hurricane Party featuring John Finnegan
Finnegan & Friends are on tonight starting at 7pm.
Showers are predicted in Montclair on Saturday night with winds up to 29 mph....
According to the Beaufort Scale this is a "Strong breeze (25–30 mph), large branches in motion. Whistling heard in overhead wires. Umbrella use becomes difficult. Empty plastic garbage cans tip over".
As it appears that Armageddon will not occur Saturday night despite the media hysteria, please feel free to stop by for some Tapas & Tunes.

Studio 12 Levitates
After a three week run in the main dining room of Tapastry Restaurant, Studio 12 will return home to the clubby confines of our second floor hideaway this week just in time to celebrate James Cotton's 76th birthday.
Friday night Romeria Flamenca returns for two more beautifully athletic & passionate performances at 7:30 & 9:00 pm.
This weekend (& every weekend this summer), we'll be back outdoors on Church Street. For the holiday weekend we'll be treated to the cool sounds of Meg Beattie Patrick (Sat eve) & John Finnegan (Sun eve). If it is anything like this past weekend we'll probably have more than a few musical guests (maybe you) joining in on the fun!
Monday, July 4, Church Street Catering takes our show on the road to Edgemont Park where we will be providing the food for Montclair's Independance Day town picnic.
Monday night the festivities on Church Street wrap up with firecracker Carrie Cantor performing under the stars!

Tryin' to Keep Up on Midsummer's Eve
Added responsibilities bobbing & weaving at Tapastry have really cut into my blogtime......
This week's Studio 12 might be the last for a while on the first floor or the first for a while back on the second floor.
Also, Romeria Flamenca is back this Friday night at Tapastry.......
