FIRESIDE TUNES on The Lakely Patio with Hemma
2022-07-06 19:30 - 21:30
This brand new event, dubbed Fireside Tunes, is meant to capture the essence of some of our most-loved experiences – spending the evening outside on The Patio with folks we care about, listening to live music in a down-to-earth, low-key (but high-vibe) atmosphere, sipping craft drinks, and sharing a love of music – all around our stone-cut fire pits.
Hemma comes from a family of singers, carving her own path for the last decade as a troubadour in the country and folk tradition. Sometimes with a full band, many times a soloist, Hemma captivates the audience as she paints with a pastoral brush passed down from Neil and Joni. The band is back in the studio this winter in her native Eau Claire with producer Sean Carey for a follow-up EP to her 2020 Tomorrow River. Find Hemma on Facebook @hemmatime and Instagram @hemmahealing
At Fireside Tunes, you can expect an emotive musical experience of local, regional, and occasionally touring artists with a strong lean towards acoustic, folk, and Americana styles. Fireside Tunes offers listeners a well-rounded sound, with occasional notes of indie, rock, and other musical genres.
Fireside Tunes is held on select Wednesdays throughout the summer and autumn on The Lakely Patio from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. In the event of inclement weather, Fireside Tunes will move inside to The Lakely Stage. This event is free to attend, but please come thirsty!

FIRESIDE TUNES on The Lakely Patio with D.Janakey
2022-07-20 19:30 - 21:30
This brand new event, dubbed Fireside Tunes, is meant to capture the essence of some of our most-loved experiences – spending the evening outside on The Patio with folks we care about, listening to live music in a down-to-earth, low-key (but high-vibe) atmosphere, sipping craft drinks, and sharing a love of music – all around our stone-cut fire pits.
D.Janakey’s impassioned folk music & metaphysical hymns are the odd synthesis of irreverent Country & Western and Spiritual music you didn’t know you needed, and might not even want. Drawing comparisons to Prine, Yusuf Cat Stevens, Daniel Johnston, and Paul Simon, these are songs that ring with light and obscurity, they breath, and sway, and then float away.
Away from music, Janakey is a seasoned tree pruner, DIY show organizer, lousy gardener, and crummy fisherman but keeps on trying anyways. D.Janakey has shared the stage with Dave Simmonette of Trampled by turtles, Mason Jennings, Ezra Bell, as well as local favorites, Them Coulee Boys.”
