Waterhole Music Lounge presents

Gubbulidis

Thursday, March 5, 7:30

Gubbulidis, the dynamic duo featuring Mihali Savoulidis and Zdenek Gubb fof beloved jam band Twiddle, will perform at the Waterhole Music Lounge!

While this marks Gubbulidis’ first appearance at the venue under this name, the night carries special significance as it has been 13 years since Twiddle last performed at the Waterhole, long before the band exploded onto the national stage. This show is truly a full-circle event and one that has been a long time coming.

Fans can expect Gubbulidis to perform stripped-down Twiddle favorites alongside their signature improvisation and jams, delivering a sound that feels far bigger than a typical duo. Based in Vermont, Gubbulidis features Zdenek Gubb on bass guitar and vocals, and Mihali Savoulidis on acoustic guitar and vocals. With the help of a loop pedal, beatboxing, and percussive bass lines, the duo creates a full-band vibe complete with ripping solos and tight vocal harmonies that consistently captivate audiences.

To guarantee entry, we strongly recommend purchasing tickets in advance. Tickets are available HERE or in person at the bar  (with zero ticketing fees).

The Adirondack Center for Writing (ACW) presents

Fourth Annual Fact or Fiction

Friday, March 6, 7 pm at the Waterhold

Fact or Fiction is a live, storytelling game where the audience plays detective. After each performance, attendees have the chance to ask the storytellers questions to determine if the narrative was true or a total fabrication.

 Participants can play solo or form teams to strategize about which questions to ask and whether to ultimately vote fact or fiction at the end of each story. 

“This is without exaggeration, ACW’s most fun event of the year–for the audience, but also for me personally,” said ACW’s executive director Nathalie Thill. “I get to choose my favorite storytellers, which is always a mix of veterans on the stage and newcomers, and the crowd is as involved as the people telling stories. It’s such a great time.”

This year’s line-up is a mix of fan favorites and new storytellers including Dan Badger, Rob Carr, Amy Coddington-Burnett, Joe Conto, Sam Darring, Kelsey Francis and ACW’s own Nathalie Thill.

Fact or Fiction has sold out every year, so make sure to grab your ticketsnow! Get tickets HERE.
