A DINNER at 6 (limited to 40 seatings) with MUSIC at 8

Our first of hopefully many dinner + live music pairings with our friends from the erstwhile but lovely Garden Griddle. Full menu coming very soon!

Jake Allen crafts a kaleidoscopic sound that plunges the curious listener into a world of endless sonic possibilities, incorporating prog-pop, waves of ambient instrumentals, and complex musical layers. Allen showcases the guitar, harnessing every nuance of the instrument and transforming it into an ethereal, shape-shifting creature that bends both notes and time. He explores numerous musical styles with his wizardry, ranging from lullaby-like dreams to burgeoning anthems. A documentarian of sorts, his immersive storytelling and emotional vocal performance offer a multi-timbral journey through time and space. His fourth album, Affirmation Day provides a snapshot of shifting perspectives and personal growth through the means of signature fingerpicking, percussive guitar tapping, and lush musical arrangements.

Allen has released 4 albums, toured tirelessly here and overseas, and shared the stage with Steve Miller, Stephen Bishop, The Accidentals, Keller Williams, Mike Dawes, Andy McKee, and Guthrie Govan. His performances have included NAMM, Hoxeyville Music Festival, Blissfest, and Winnetka Music Festival.

Ryan David Green‘s music has been called “virtuosic acoustic guitar that is remarkably accessible”, with fast fingerwork that is always in service of unmistakeable melodies. Performing a blend of instrumental guitar pieces and delicate vocal tunes, Green takes audiences to a place both otherworldly, and somehow surprisingly intimate.

A graduate of Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music, he’s performed on 4 continents, been profiled in Acoustic Guitar Magazine, and twice been named “Best Guitarist” in the Tucson Music Awards (where he currently resides). He was awarded 1st place in the 2024 American Songwriter Song Contest.

His acoustic-duo Ryanhood (with musical partner Cameron Hood) has performed with a wide-range of artists including Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson, and Train, and were named the “Best Group/Duo” in the International Acoustic Music Awards. His debut solo-guitar album Off and Running released on June 14, 2024.

***THE DINNER & SHOW ARE BOTH IN THE THEATER ON THE 2ND FLOOR — ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY STAIRS.
We dearly want to add an elevator to this historic building once we have the means.***

Jake Allen

Jake Allen, a 24 year old ethereal rock/fingerstyle guitar musician, originally hails from Northern Michigan. Since creating his first progressive keyboard compositions at age five, in his father's home studio, the evolution of Jake's sound has been many years in the making. By age eight Allen’s natural progression drew him to learning drums, bass guitar and finally at age twelve, acoustic and electric guitar. Just before fourteen, Jake Allen started creating his first full length album “Heart Consumer and the Artist” in which he performed and recorded in the studio every instrument himself. Pulling from years of experience working in his father’s studio, Jake was also able to mix and master this album on his own. This would be the formula for the next two albums in Allen’s career; “SleEP” (2009) and his most recent and critically acclaimed LP “Etherica”.

In 2008 Allen’s after being exposed to players like Andy McKee (whom he later shared the stage with) and Michael Hedges, Jake began crafting his own breed of acoustic guitar wizardry. On top of his two handed percussive tapping style, he added live looping to create a more in depth stage performance. This new solo approach gave Jake a powerful show that he then took on the road in 2009. Since then he has continued touring the country both solo and with his full band, gaining the recognition of some of the music industry’s most respected musicians, producers and musical instrument companies. Within the last year Allen has been recruited by Gretsch Guitars, Takamine, and Dean Markley Strings to promote their products through performances and videos.

Jake Allen’s newest record “Etherica” has become a milestone in what is promised to be a long and prosperous career. “Etherica” blends Jake’s acoustic fingerstyle with rock, jazz and progressive elements reinvigorating a classic sound for a new generation. The album also inspired Allen to pull together a team of top tier musicians to create “The Hollow Sound of Melody” (2013), a DVD of a live full band performance of “Etherica” in its entirety. Not content to rest on his laurels, Jake Allen has continued to evolve and has now begun writing his much anticipated fourth album.
