Goshen Theater program features music, drinks

Apr. 17—GOSHEN — A new music series at Goshen Theater in collaboration with WVPE, the official Martinis and Music debut is Thursday evening, April 18.

Each month on the third Thursday, a different regional musician and local bartender will be featured. The first of the series features singer-songwriter Mitch McClane and Spencer Craigo of the Constant Spring will be shaking cocktails.

McLane is a guitar-playing singer-songwriter from Goshen. McLane's musical journey began in 2008 as a summer camp counselor, sparking his passion for storytelling through music. In 2013, he co-founded the Tumbleweed Jumpers, becoming more involved in the Goshen music scene. In 2016, he launched his own ensemble, McLane and Co., known for their relatable lyrics and infectious rhythms. With two albums under their belt, McLane and Co. are gearing up for a third release later this year. McLane also has exciting new projects on the horizon, promising to further enrich the Goshen music community.

Variations on the classic martini will be available for purchase along with a selection of beer and wine. Light snacks will also be available for purchase.

"We've wanted to open up our bar and lobby space to the public for quite some time now," said Susan Visser, Goshen Theater Executive Director. "We don't think people have gotten to experience just how versatile our space can be. We're so excited to be collaborating with WVPE to make this vision a reality."

Martinis and Music will be from 5-7 p.m. Thursday. The event is free and open to the public.
