Binky Graphite TONIGHT at Freddy's



Tonight at Freddy's

Binky Graphite - 10pm - Front Room

Binky is a founding member, guitar player and emcee for world renown Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, who in 2014 received their first Grammy nomination for the album “Give the People What They Want”. As an integral part of Daptone Records, Binky played guitar on Amy Winehouse’s record breaking album “Back To Black", and performed on other award-winning albums with Janet Jackson and more. Bringing his own blend to the stage, Binky will surely impress...slickly riffing blues guitar proves the perfect backing to support his lead vocal, a bellowing voice that brings out the spirit of Muddy Waters.

Also on tap, Cocktails and Bureaucracy (Parents only. Extreme Kids & Crew hosts this parent support group from 6:30-8:00 pm to discuss issues facing parents with disabilities) and Red Art Trader.

Sidecar Coming to A Taste of Fifth!


Sidecar is joining A Taste of Fifth this year! This well know, local neighborhood restaurant and bar is cosy but lively. A wide choice of menu items large and small including oysters, burgers, chicken and pasta. With its fantastic cocktails and a great brunch menu, you can see why it's a local hangout.


If that doesn't tempt you, how about a Happy Hour on Fridays, 3-6pm half price beers, wine and oysters? Yeah, we thought so!
