Returning to the Bottlebrush Gallery in Harmony, last year’s sold out show: Tony Denikos!

Friday, August 10, 2012  7pm-9:30pm  BYOB  $10 – advance reservations requested due to small venue, 724.452.0539. Come on out and support live music!

Tony Denikos writes, records and performs some of the most refreshingly down-home Americana music in the country. His wide range of influences includes John Fogerty, John Prine, Lowell George, Graham Parker & Bruce Springsteen. Tony is a storyteller and songsmith in the tradition of John Prine and Lyle Lovett.  http://tonydenikos.com

“There’s a warmth and natural soulfulness to his sound that is as much approachable as it is admirable. Next time I sit beside Prine at Arnold’s Meat & Three, I am going to hip him to the fact that I know who is going to fill his shoes when he retires.” –Gary Allen (JJ Cale/The Charlie Daniels Band/Stonewall Jackson)

With Special Guest Jeff DeSantis
Jeff DeSantis is a Pittsburgh-based songwriter whose style can be described as Americana/Alt Country, as written by someone who grew up listening to The Who an awful lot. His album “323 13th Street” is available on iTunes and CD Baby, and he is currently working on a follow-up.

YOU’RE INVITED!

Hard to believe the Bottlebrush will be 3 years old already on October 21! We’re having a music and art get-together to celebrate at the Gallery on Friday evening starting at 6pm.

NEW HOURS.

More news… we’ve changed our operating hours. Bottlebrush is now open 7 days a week, Monday through Friday, from 11am – 4pm, with extended hours on music and opening event nights and for the holidays. The shop will be open more to accommodate your shopping needs.

YOGA.

Sadly, we will no longer be offering Yoga classes at the Gallery, at least not until spring. We want to do some renovations on the upstairs of our building, so we won’t be keeping that portion of the building heated this winter. 🙁 Cathy and Diana have been awesome instructors for the Bottlebrush Yoga classes, and we appreciate them greatly, as do their students.
