Now with my parents living in Nashville, I have learned a bit about country music and Honky Tonk; little did I expect it to be coming here to Stowe, this summer. But boy was I wrong.
What is Honky Tonk, you might be wondering… Honky Tonk, is old-school country music played in little bars and roadhouses all around the country with guitars, fiddles, and the lonesome sound of a pedal steel, supporting singers who weave tales of good times and bad behavior to a rollicking back beat.
And now we are excited to welcome the Grand Ol’ Honky Tonk at Spruce Peak hosted by Brett Hughes! These evenings are sure to be a great night of music and dancing! The Grand Ol’ Honky Tonk at Spruce Peak will be a series of shows, once a month this summer.
Brett Hughes has been hosting his weekly Honky Tonk Tuesday sessions for five and half years at Burlington’s Radio Bean, and in that time has been joined by well over a hundred musicians, singing and playing the best of the classic old-time country songs.
After talking with Brett about the upcoming show, I am totally psyched for the music and dancing and good times up at SPPAC. He has so much energy and enthusiasm about his music and performances, all Brett really wants is for others to truly enjoy themselves at each show and if they end up liking his style music great and if not he hopes they enjoyed and fun and entertaining show.
We hope to see you on Wednesday July 27th at 7pm! A $12 general admission ticket gets you in for a night of amazing music, maybe some dancin’, and a whole lot of fun!
Looking to have a view from the top of Vermont?
Look no further than riding the famous Stowe gondola to the top! Hop on into the gondola and soar up to the top to get beautiful 360 views, take a hike up to the Summit of Mt. Mansfield or have lunch at the Cliff House elevation 3625'!
Nestled on the shoulder of Vermont's highest peak, the chefs proudly celebrate the seasonal harvest of fresh, local ingredients. Partnering with family farms and artesian food producers to create a truly unique, rustic and memorable style of regional American cooking along with local beer, summer cocktails and a full wine list these will impress you as much as the views from the deck seating.
On select Saturday evenings, the Cliff House also offers famous “Summit Series” dinners featuring a gondola ride and a candlelit six-course meal. (Reservations are required. To make a dinner reservation, or for more information, call 802-253-3665.)
We also have the Stowe Trail race Series going on throughout the summer as well!
