This summer, Friday nights at Story Parlor are for live music.
We’re hosting a weekly summer music series featuring local bands and musicians playing full sets in our listening room — from singer-songwriters and folk acts to experimental sounds, indie bands, jazz, bluegrass, and beyond.
Expect intimate performances, good drinks, and the kind of atmosphere where the music is actually meant to be listened to.
No advance tickets — just $10 at the door.
Seating is first come, first served, so come early, settle in, and stay awhile.
$10 admission — collected at the door
