NOTE: Eric Lee, fiddler extraordinaire, returns to The Packing House after three years with a new bluegrass project: “Poor Monroe”. We welcome Eric (guitar/fiddle), Sean (guitar), Gareth (bass), John (mandolin), & Chris (banjo) to share their unique blend in our intimate Listening Room.

Formed at the start of 2021, POOR MONROE is a New England-based bluegrass collaboration of long-time friends with nearly a century’s worth of performing experience (cumulatively speaking).

Drawing from distinct musical paths, this energetic group of seasoned players bring a unique approach to their performances, delivering unmistakably tight vocal harmonies and scorching tempos that are the benchmark of the genre.

Eric Lee (guitar/fiddle), Sean Davis (guitar), Gareth Buckley (bass), John Benjamin (mandolin), & Chris Boucher (banjo), perform traditional material and Lee's original songs with a deep sense of honoring the legacy of bluegrass. Together, they show how the love of music and a good sense of humor can transcend trying times.

Please join us for an evening of original bluegrass music - from high energy foot-stompin’ tunes to emotional tear jerkin’ arrangements by this new bluegrass band. This program is hosted by the "Eastern Connecticut Center for History, Art, and Performance" (EC-CHAP). Doors 7:00pm / Show 7:30pm. Tickets $20.00 Advance (Online) / $25.00 Door.

 Soft drinks and snacks available. We are pleased to offer our exclusive "BYOB&F" TM model - Bring Your Own Beverage & Food (Wine & Beer Only - I.D.
