As the days get shorter and winter begins to blanket the mountains in white, it’s always so tempting to play and practice in the warmth of your own home. The thing is its so much more fun to play with others and there are plenty of opportunities to get out to a session. And next week there is one more.
Starting next week, there is a new session in town. On Thursday, November 21, the band Footworks will host a session at The Whammy Bar in Calais.

Date: Thursday, November 21, 2019
Time: 7-9:30pm
Location: The Whammy Bar 31 W County Rd Calais, VT
