We are sad to announce that
SawTown Tavern won’t be reopening.
We took our time and made sure there was no alternative, and there just isn’t.
COVID changed everything,
and this is the right decision for us.

We deeply appreciate those who found refuge here and joined us on our quirky adventure.

It was a wonderful privilege to share our lives, our dearest lifelong friends, our art, and the art of so many amazing folks, with Tacony.

We have wonderful memories, and we hope you’ll carry the good spirit of SawTown with you wherever we find ourselves next.

And sincerely, we Thank You
for five amazing years. 💜✨

Peace, y’all
Troy & Charles

Our hearts are truly broken tonight.
Our beloved bartender Bonnie passed on this evening.
She fought a valiant fight against cancer, and left us while surrounded always by her loving and stalwart family.
Hold them in your thoughts and prayers tonight. We’ve lost a dear friend.
It occurred to us she chose the 13th to move on, a number she kinda grooved on.

Bonnie was a hero. A mother who did all that had to be done for her kids.
Three of us locals sat on the steps one day as the PGW truck pulled up, and we all held our breath until we saw which door (none of ours, today...) they knocked on. We chuckled, and sighed, and Knew. We’re in this s**t together.

We shared time and space and truth. We loved one another completely, with all our foibles and insecurities.

I’m happy we shared all we shared, and decimated we won’t share more. But we had each other’s backs. And when this ends, as it does, what more is there?

Soar on my beautiful Sister. 💜

Sandbox Music Group has been an integral part of SawTown Tavern and our dedication to the arts. They have taken the time to put together an amazing and generous offer and show of support.
We invite you to check it out and check them out.
You'd be supporting SawTown, the artists of Sandbox Music, and the arts in general. During these uncertain times, that is a great thing!

The arts & entertainment landscape we've been accustomed to is gone. When said & done, many of the small family businesses, bars & small venues that supported the arts will be gone forever,

We face a Walmart/Home Depot/Popeyes/Live Nation future. Unless we support these small, LOCAL establishments during these anarchistsic, uncoordinated, entropic days.

Troy & Charles & The SawTown Tavern led the resurgence of the arts in the NE.They were on the verge of breaking new ground with the opening of their vegan kitchen.

We have worked together for almost 5 years now bringing The Original Songwriters Open Mic every Tuesday.

TO OFFER OUR SUPPORT: Anyone donating to assist ST in the amount of $50-$149 will receive EVERY ALBUM/SINGLE/EP in our catalog (digital HQ files), Su Z, Secret Base Life, Devon Czekaj, the Xmas albums, demos,EVERYTHING, Your donation will go directly to ST & the artists. Sandbox Music makes nothing, Donations from $150 up also get AUTOGRAPHED CDs (where available).
