Gabrielle Stravelli is a phenomenal artist. That's not just my opinion. Read her reviews in various publications including the NY Times.
We saw her at the Deer Head Inn and she was great. She performed two sets and every song was a gem.
The venue is an intimate place with a relaxed vibe. The food is good and reasonably priced and with a very welcoming staff. No wonder it's the oldest,continually
open Jazz venue in the country.
