Box of Rain at Roy’s Hall
- Town: Blairstown
- Where: Roy’s Hall, 30 Main Street, Blairstown
- When: Saturday, November 14, 2026, 8 p.m.
- Cost: $30 to $35
Box of Rain is a six piece band that pays tribute to what many fans call the finest period of the Grateful Dead, 1968 to 1974. The revolving lineup features former members of Dark Star Orchestra, Living Earth, Zen Tricksters and Dead On Live, and this show adds special guest Tom Hampton. Roy’s Hall is an intimate room, so it is the kind of night where you feel the jams up close.
Teddy Thompson in Concert at Roy’s Hall
- Town: Blairstown
- Where: Roy’s Hall, 30 Main Street, Blairstown
- When: Friday, November 20, 2026, 8 p.m.
- Cost: $35 to $40
London born folk singer and songwriter Teddy Thompson grew up in a musical family as the son of folk singers Richard and Linda Thompson, and he has made New York City his home for about 25 years. He is known for a glorious tenor voice and finely crafted songs, which makes Roy’s Hall’s listening room setting a perfect fit. Advance tickets are recommended for a show like this.

Living Spirits brings live acoustic music into its cocktail bar on Saturday afternoons. Connor Strapp plays on November 14, the same day the distillery hosts its Holiday Market from 2 to 7 p.m., so you can shop local makers and stay for the music. Erika Sherger takes the stage for the November 21 Spirits and Sound session. Grab a seat early if you want a table near the performers.
Sunday Soundtrack with B.D. Lenz at Living Spirits
- Town: Hackettstown

- When: Sunday, November 29, 2026, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Wind down Thanksgiving weekend with B.D. Lenz at the distillery’s Sunday Soundtrack series.

Living Spirits also runs a Vinyl Lounge on Friday nights, including DJ Sean Henry on November 13.
Tips for a Night Out
Roy’s Hall shows often sell out, so buy ahead online and arrive early to find parking on Main Street in Blairstown. For the afternoon sets in Hackettstown, plan dinner downtown afterward and make it a full evening. Schedules can shift, so check each venue’s page the day of the show.
