The Acoustic Explosion at Silvie's

08/11/2021

Silvie's update:
Plans to reopen Silvie's remain on hold due to the ongoing pandemic. Since too many people won't get the vaccine, won't keep masks on or social distance at gatherings, the risk to everyone's safety is too great.
Reopening and having shows with half the audiences than normal would put the bar in the red immediately since Silvie's is a family-run business with a razor-thin margin of profitability, so the timing needs to be right
I am still confident that Silvie's will re-open at some point.
Stay tuned and stay safe.

Due to the pandemic, all Acoustic Explosion shows are cancelled until further notice. If things ever get to a point where we can have public music shows again - and if Silvie's is able to reopen at that time - The Acoustic Explosion will return.
Until then - stay safe!
