The beloved Fireside Sessions with Nancy Atlas will return for four Saturday nights in January, turning Bay Street's historic wharf-side theater into a warm, intimate hub for live music, stories, and surprise collaborations. Running four Saturday nights in January beginning January 10th, the series features Atlas and The Nancy Atlas Project welcoming a different guest artist each week for performances that blend rock, soul, blues, Americana, and pure East End energy.
Long a staple of the winter season, the Fireside Sessions have built a devoted following by offering something rare in January: live music that feels spontaneous, personal, and alive. Each night is its own experience, shaped by the chemistry between Atlas, her band, and the evening's guest.
This year's lineup includes:
-
January 10: Gene Casey & Eugene Chrysler - a high-energy Country and Rockabilly Revue
-
January 17: Brian Mitchell - keyboards, accordion, and vocals for a night of New Orleans-inspired sound
-
January 24: Randi Fishenfeld - rock and roll powered by her electrifying violin
-
January 31: Jonny Rosch - Soul Sonic Love to close out the series
The Fireside Sessions have become a winter tradition not just for the music, but for the sense of community they create, offering a place to gather, warm up, and share something live and meaningful during the quieter months on the East End. All performances take place Saturdays at 8:00 PM at Bay Street Theater.
