The good times are always rolling here in the tropics of Free Union, especially when we have Crewe d'Bayou leading the fun! The incredibly talented 'Crewe' will have us grooving to their n'awlins funk and bluesy rhythms for this post Mardi Gras celebration! Saturday, March 8th, from 5 to 8pm. Open to all, no cover.
Band Bio -
Matty Metcalfe and Crewe d'Bayou plays 'Pan-Bayou' dance music for all ages! The band's repertoire features many original compositions in addition to musical touchstones from many eras--including songs by Ray Charles, Professor Longhair, Dr. John, James Booker, and modern groups from Louisiana, Texas, and the Gulf Coast. Along with his 'stride-piano' virtuosity, Mr. Metcalfe plays a special electric accordion that, in addition to normal accordion voices, features organ, trumpet, clarinet, and harmonica sounds! New Orleans native Aric Van Brocklin's soulful singing and slide/electric guitar leads add a distinctively bayou-borne flair while Paul Rosner (drums) and Michael Clem (bass) lay down the infectiously danceable groove. It is a sight to see and wonder to hear these fabulous musicians in Crewe d'Bayou, described as 'the best New Orleans band this side of the Mississippi!'

Our live music events typically take place within the beautiful space of the glass conservatory, our indoor tropical oasis. On occasion, the music may perform outdoors, under the eaves of the back deck. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available first come, no reservations.
Picnics are welcome throughout the property, barring any outside alcohol. We have plentiful seating areas both inside the conservatory, and outdoors along the back deck, as well as in front of the conservatory, and there are several picnic tables spread across the lakefront. Feel free to bring your blankets/chairs. Pop up tents and personal grills are permitted for use in the overflow grassy tailgate and picnic areas.
Glass House Winery wines are available by the bottle and glass, and traditional tastings are being conducted at the Tasting Room Bar. Wine Flights are also available, these are great for those who prefer to do a self guided tasting, simply order at the bar and take back to your table.
Children are welcome, please supervise them at all times. Consider bringing along games or other items to entertain them while seated.
Well behaved dogs are also welcome but must remain on their leash at all times.
