Important Note About Hybrid Events
Live music is great - nothing like it!
But if you can't attend in person, the sound quality on Zoom is superb.
It's a great listening experience for anyone who enjoys good music.
Joe Jencks At Stage Left
March 2 @ 7:30pm CST | HYBRID EVENT!

Joe Jencks performs March 2, 2022, 7:30 pm/CST
premiering our 1st Wednesday Concert series at Stage Left Cafe
125 Van Buren St., Woodstock, on the historic Woodstock Square.
Joe is noted for his unique merging of musical beauty, social consciousness, and spiritual exploration. Blending well-crafted instrumentals and vivid songwriting, Jencks serves it all up with a lyric baritone voice that has the edgy richness of a good sea-salt caramel.

Misspent Youth with Dave "DK" Kolars
Open Mic at Stage Left
March 9 @ 7pm CST | HYBRID EVENT!
Misspent Youth is a 3-piece, hard-driving bluegrass band based in DeKalb, Illinois. The band features Dave “DK” Kolars on guitar, long a fixture in the music scene, well-known and a friend to many in Woodstock. 
With Dave in the band are Dale Ludwig and Mike Warfel.

Misspent Youth will play a lot of songs we don’t normally hear, with two- and three-part harmonies. They put their own twist on the music with their cumulative 150+ years of playing music in many styles.
