WARWICK — The Warwick Arts Council, Wooden Fender and the Trinitarian Congregational Church of Warwick present will present a St. Patrick’s Day Dinner and Concert featuring The Tommy Filiault Band on Saturday at 6 p.m. at Warwick Town Hall on the Warwick Common, Route 78.
Trinitarian Congregational Church of Warwick plans to serve a St. Patrick’s Day corned beef and cabbage, carrots, potatoes, rolls, beverages, and homemade desserts beginning at 6 p.m. Adults are $10, children 12 and younger are $5 and children under 3 are free. All dinner proceeds benefit the church.
After dinner, head upstairs for some music and dancing. At 7, Wooden Fender will present The Tommy Filiault Band, made up of Tommy Filiault on guitar, Bo Henderson on guitar, John “Klondike” Koehler on bass, and Jeff Thompson on drums. The band will bring its own flavor of the blues to the foot of Mount Grace. If a little rock sneaks in, well, it is New England, says the band.
Filiault has played alongside Otis Rush and Ed Vadas, and opened for Orleans, James Montgomery, James Cotten, Jan Pousette Dart, Rick Danko, Commander Cody, David Bromberg, Dickie Betts and has jammed with many more fabulous performers over his 40-year career. The rest of the band is equally as well-seasoned.
For more information, check out the band on Facebook.
Donations (suggested $5) will be accepted at the door to pay for the band and support Wooden Fender’s ongoing endeavor — in memory of Jeff Wallace — to keep live music happening in Warwick.
