FIRESIDE TUNES on The Lakely Patio with Cait McGarvey + Emily Watkins

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. Emily Watkins will perform at 8:30pm and Cait McGarvey will perform at 7:30pm.

Cait McGarvey is an Eau Claire singer-songwriter with folk-pop roots who has been playing around the Chippewa valley since 2014. You can follow them on Instagram @caitlinmcmusic and find their music on all streaming platforms.

Emily Watkins is well-versed in a variety of styles of guitar playing, including funk, country/folk, classical, blues, jazz, and many varieties of rock music. She plays guitar and sings in Uncommon Denominator, which has been voted Best Cover Band in the Chippewa Valley in the Volume One Reader’s Poll for three consecutive years. Emily also performs in several jazz groups, including Cathy Reitz & 7 Swing and the Chippewa Valley Jazz Orchestra. You can find Emily on Instagram @emilywatkins1337 and on Facebook @emilywatkinsmusic  

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!
