New Year's Eve Party - Live Music!
Party with us on New Year’s Eve! We’ve got a great night planned for you.
Join us for an early New Years Eve celebration of live music, dining, drinking and dancing to classic country, honky tonk, rockabilly and western swing featuring The Best Intentions. No Cover, All Ages.
The Best Intentions is a band dreamed up by Pacific Northwest music veterans Bret Ervin and Jesse Cunningham with the goal of spending more time on stage with their talented friends playing the music they love. Over the last two decades, Bret and Jesse have, and continue to, perform with bands like Countryside Ride, Western Supply Co., The Blastomatics, The Countrypolitans, The Barn Door Slammers and more. Focused on traditional Country & Western Honkytonk, Western Swing, Roots Rock & Roll, and Americana Music, The Best Intentions leans heavily on their seasoned rhythm section, electric and pedal-steel guitars, and multiple singers and soul-inspired harmonies. Joining Bret and Jesse New Years Eve is Christine McCallister (Bees in a Bottle, and the Good Long Whiles) on bass and lead vocals, and Kevin, “Shuffle King,” Major (The County Champs, Jackson County Kills).
