The Brattleboro Pub Sing

3rd Saturday of every month, 3-5 pm sharp
Led by Amanda Witman

The Tower Bar & Lounge (formerly The Collective, previously Metropolis)
55 Elliot Street
Brattleboro, Vermont

What kind of a musical hotbed would Brattleboro be without a monthly pub sing? Join us on the THIRD Saturday of every month from 3-5 pm at McNeill’s Brewery on Elliot Street as we raise a glass in harmony and good cheer.

Songs led from memory with easily joined-in choruses are the norm. Pub songs, work songs, sea shanties, and other traditional song styles are welcome. Come listen, sing along, lead a song or two if you’re feeling bold. No experience or confidence is necessary!

The pub has plenty of options at the bar, including cider, beer, and cocktails. Light food is available as well. There is no charge for the sing, but please do your part to help show the friendly, supportive bartenders and the owner our continued appreciation with your patronage.

Come join us every third Saturday from 3-5 pm. And enjoy these other pub sings that take place nearby:

~ The First Saturday Pub Sing, led by Kirk Dale and friends, was started in September 2022 and happens monthly at the Latchis Underground on Flat Street. Begins generally sometime around 3pm and ending roughly sort of around 6pm.

~ The Northern Roots Festival, on the last weekend of January, includes a Sunday pub session from 1-5 that includes a pub sing from 1-2:30 following by a Quebecois session and an Irish session. Festival guest performers often lead this exciting annual sing at the River Garden Marketplace on Main Street.

~ On Christmas Eve, there is an extra-special, unforgettable holiday pub sing from 3-5 pm. Once upon a time it was an extension of our usual pub sing, but we moved this beloved event in 2022 to the River Garden Marketplace where there is plenty of space for everyone! (Invite the whole world! Really!) Nowell Sing We Clear fans, step right up!

Visitors and listeners are always welcome. All ages, all abilities.

In December 2020, we were unable to gather because of the COVID pandemic, so we created an Xmas Eve VIRTUAL Pub Sing for all to enjoy. Forty singers contributed 185 videos and 252 audio recordings to this epic project, which was livestreamed at 3pm on 12/24/2020 when we would ordinarily have been at the pub.

In June 2021, Old Songs went virtual and produced the Virtual Old Songs Festival Pub Sing, which included several classic songs, many familiar faces and voices, and a number of local singers in the mix. Eighty singers participated from across the US, Canada, and the UK.
