They cover music from the 60s to today with their own acoustic spin, including several medleys to keep the energy going and less downtime between songs. Whiskey Pines are currently playing 150 or more shows per year at clubs, private parties, restaurants, bars, theme parks, festivals and special events. See them play at Paddy's Irish Public House at 2606 Raeford Road, Suite B. Call, 910-568-5654, for additional information.

Conceived and developed by local artists, Party at Jay's is set in New York in 1922. Taken from pages of F. Scott Fitzgerald's American classic "The Great Gatsby," the Party at Jay's is told through interactive staging where the audience are the guests at Jay's. Jay's is the hottest spot from the roaring '20s — featuring new and exciting arrangements of jazz standards and an origi- nal score by composer and Sweet Tea Shakespeare Company member Sarah Chapman, which fuses period and contemporary orchestrations.
