Enjoy a Music Mecca in paradise!
You will see pretty much every kind of instrument played; from a washboard and a squeezebox on up. We enjoy world famous artists; wonderful guitarists and drummers make up local bands while we also hear incredible saxophones and fiddles by world-renowned musicians who often play for the simple joy. Oh, and the voices; we also enjoy great singers too.

Philo was kind enough to open for those of us who had to embrace our roots! Needless to say, the room was full of Canadians except for Philo and his one staff member, Gris, who came in to [...]
