Guided by Providence based musician and actor David Tessier, this Rhode Island trio brings close to ten years performing together, shaping a wide ranging program of rock and original songs. Tessier is an award winning, critically recognized performer with more than 30 years of professional work across New England, and he founded the All-Star Band of All-Star Stars as well as Zilch! A Tribute to The Monkees & More. His original recordings can be heard on Spotify, Amazon Music, iTunes, and through 75orless Records.

Returning for a second year, a witch-themed flash mob is planned as part of the Spooky Night at the Knight fundraiser in support of the Community Libraries of Providence. Participation is limited to a set number of dancers who are placed on a list. This is a ticketed gathering. Performers do not pay for admission, while any guests they bring will need to purchase tickets.

Journey takes the stage at Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island. Attendees can look forward to a live event at this venue.

Step aboard for a nighttime cruise through downtown Providence guided by the storytellers of Providence Ghost Tours, the city’s longest established ghost tour company. Settle into a comfortable open air boat and glide beneath moonlit bridges, past cobblestone walkways and centuries old architecture, while hearing eerie accounts of both renowned authors and everyday residents whose spirits are rumored to remain along the river. Expect a fully guided journey through shadowy waterways filled with tales from Providence’s haunted past and atmospheric views by moonlight. Families and friends can share the experience together. Recommended for ages 10 and up. This cruise often reaches capacity, so making a reservation ahead of time is advised.

Karaoke at Red Door takes place every Thursday, hosted by Mel.
