Rails to the Darkside @ CT Trolley Museum
Oct 28 @ 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm

As the fall chill fills the air, on the darkest of nights, mournful cries of the abandoned dead are heard on the tracks at the Connecticut Trolley Museum.

Come for a scare if you dare…the next trolley ride is an express to the Darkside! During this haunted experience, ride vintage trolleys into the dark woods for a fear that you will never forget. Listen to the tale of yesteryear, as you learn of a hastily moved cemetery whose bodies were left behind…their angry souls seeking their revenge. Will you survive? The event will be held on Friday and Saturday nights starting September 30th. This experience is rated PG-13 and may be too intense for the squeamish.

Hours are 7pm-9:30pm (gates open at 6:15pm for ticket sales). Admission is $25 per person and recommended for ages 16

Drummer Dave Diamond is a founding member of the Zen Tricksters and a frequent member of the Assembly of Dust. He has played with Bob Weir, Derek Trucks, Robert Randolph and countless others. The members’ first-hand experience with the Allman Brothers Band and their deep knowledge of the repertoire and the music’s roots and heritage allows them to play with an unrivaled depth.

7 Bridges – The Ultimate Eagles Experience @ Broad Brook Opera House

7 Bridges – The Ultimate Eagles Experience

Friday, November 3 & Saturday November 4,  2023 – 8:00 PM EDT

7 Bridges : The Ultimate EAGLES Experience is a stunningly accurate tribute to the music of the Eagles. Using no backing tracks or harmonizers, 7 Bridges faithfully re-creates the experience of an Eagles concert from the band’s most prolific period. Every show features one brilliant hit single after another with some mighty Joe Walsh surprises sprinkled into the mix. 7 Bridges offers the perfect blend of songs to capture all levels of Eagles devotees. 7 Bridges is a tour de force of talent combining incredible musicianship, vocal precision and a stage presence that has garnered them nationwide acclaim. The band features Jay Sweet as Glenn Frey, Keith Thoma as Don Henley, James Richardson as Randy Meisner/Timothy B. Schmit, Richie Scholl as the eccentric and unpredictable Joe Walsh, Brian Franklin as guitar wizard Don Felder, and Vernon Roop as Joe Vitale, the often unsung hero of many Eagles studio albums and live performances. For years, 7 Bridges: The Ultimate EAGLES Experience has been the ‘go to’ choice for corporate, fair/festival, casino and private events. 7 Bridges provides an all ages, family friendly show weaved into a powerful rock-n-roll concert experience.
