EVERY SUNDAY
JAZZ BRUNCH WORKSHOP
NOON 'TIL 4PM
Our Sunday Jazz Brunch Workshop is a magical, musical phenomenon
that everyone should experience. The host trio of Burgess,
Mitchell & Stetz (featuring the notable talents of pianist &
vocalist Greg Burgess, award-winning worldly drummer Steve
Mitchell, and bassist Bill Stetz) welcomes musicians of all
kinds to join in the musical adventure. Live and inspirational,
you'll watch, listen and smile as songs take shape and evolve in
an unrehearsed performance ... a real workshop to hone skills
and express musical vision. Many guest musicians & vocalists are
always on-hand to "sit in" as soloists or to be called upon to
create a whole, new trio, quartet or larger ensemble, too. It's
a ritual that you'll want to be part of every Sunday! Because of
the popularity of our Sunday brunch, reservations are strongly
encouraged. Please call us at (570) 326-4700. Brunch is served
from 9AM-2PM. |

Mike Brown 9PM-MID
The great American road trip is alive and kicking in Grammy
Nominee Mike Brown’s songs. All the mysterious, enchanting back
roads that all us romantics sit around daydreaming about come
alive on American Hotel. Listening to the album, you can tell
Mike’s logged lots of windshield time, that he’s stopped in
plenty of small town cafes to break bread with the type of
familiar all-American characters we road warriors know so well.
They’re what have given Mike’s project legs and taught it to run
like no other |

David Pulizzi 8-11PM
David Pulizzi plays original music that touches on folk,
country, blues, and rock traditions. Onstage he also
occasionally covers Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley,
Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen and others. In the
late '80s, after graduating from the Guitar Institute of
Technology, he formed and fronted an L.A. band called Low Echo.
A few years later, he was back in his hometown of Williamsport,
Pennsylvania, playing guitar and singing lead vocals for the
legendary Six Suede Men. Since then, he’s played memorable
stints with The Excitable Boys and with Tin Can Sims and the
Corps Cadavers. These days, he performs both solo and with his
roots-rock band, Graveyard Rooster, wherever and whenever
