A memorial fundraiser in honor of the late Cassie Falvey, an exceptional teacher who sadly passed in June 2021.

Music by The John Spignesi Band + Raffle with prizes from Mohegan Sun, the Hartford Yard Goats, Supercharged, and The Garde Arts Center!

As someone who worked in the New London Public School system for years, she believed in building community. More importantly, she believed in the potential of the youth of New London.

She spent her life giving to the youth of the city, and the Cassie Falvey Memorial Scholarship aims to continue extending the opportunity she wanted for all her students.

The scholarship is presented by family and friends of Cassie Falvey and awarded to an English Learner who is looking to continue their education at a college or university this fall.

In May, our third time awarding the Cassie Falvey Memorial Scholarship, we were able to award over $1,300 to a deserving student. This year we have the goal of growing the scholarship and making awards to multiple students.

The event will include live music by the John Spignesi Band as well as a raffle. The John Spignesi Band is familiar around New London, having played at the Social, and is fronted by former New London teacher John Spignesi. The band has a loyal flock of fans throughout New England and is known for the positive atmosphere at their shows.

Pregame for your New Year’s Eve party with Bank Street Groove!

Seven piece Funk, Soul, Pop, and RnB band from right here in Connecticut! Come see them on New Year’s Eve for a 2000’s music tribute! $10 cover, bring your dancing shoes!

Come join us for an electrifying evening at The Social Bar + Kitchen! Twisted Pine will blow your mind with their unique fusion of bluegrass, funk and pop. Local favorites The Carleans will open the show!

Praised by NPR for their "upbeat, poppy vibe; energetic, driving rhythms; and virtuosic solos,” Twisted Pine released their sophomore full-length Right Now in 2020 (Signature Sounds Recordings). Exploring a sound they call Americana funk, Twisted Pine takes traditional music in exhilarating directions. Bassist Chris Sartori writes, "This album is easier to feel than describe. We’re rooted in bluegrass, continually inspired by explorers like Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, and Sierra Hull. Right Now takes this heritage into a new dimension. Our bluegrass is jazzy, our indie folk is poppy, our grooves are funky."Twisted Pine [Kathleen Parks, fiddle; Dan Bui, mandolin; Chris Sartori, bass; Anh Phung, flute] grooves with fearless improvisation and intricate arrangements. "They were once bluegrass," wrote The Boston Globe, "but ... this Boston band has become something else, a wider version of string band, boundary jumpers akin to outfits like Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek, and Crooked Still.”

"An upbeat, poppy vibe; energetic, driving rhythms; virtuosic solos; tight harmonies. This is definitely a band to watch" — National Public Radio

“Instrumental virtuosity — the band’s calling card — abounds on their latest album, Right Now, but so too do moments of sheer pop glory, funky all-day grooves, and spacecraft sonics.” — No Depression

"So grooving, and low volume! " — Vulfpeck

Whether you're a fan of bluegrass or just looking for a fun night out, this is the event for you! So gather your friends and head over to The Social Bar + Kitchen for an unforgettable night of foot-stomping melodies and good vibes. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience!

Tickets: $15 adv / $20 door
