Throughout our summer season Race Brook Lodge is enthused to invite local musicians to share in an intimate setting around our campfires as the sun sets over the mountain. An un-ticketed free series (you heard that right!) where our audiences and guests can connect and converse with our artists in an organic conversational relationship.
This Friday come out to enjoy a campfire Jam with Bobby MacVeety, Alex Harvey, and Kari Groff.
Bobby McVeety has been rocking the Berkshires for over 40 years. The BTUs, the Berkshires’ pre-eminent blues band, is his most recent incarnation which is coming up on it’s 20 year mark.
Kari Groff, MD is an accomplished physician running a child psychiatry practice in Brooklyn, New York. She has always had a passion as well for songwriting and playing the fiddle. Through her clinical work as a child psychiatrist, Dr. Groff has seen first-hand how powerful music can be in helping children to process emotions. When she was a young doctor, she started writing her own material based on the issues brought to her by her patients, weaving psychiatric advice into her catchy lyrics.
Alex Harvey is an old world folklorist who performs street ballads and songs of the sea in a project he calls ShinBone Alley. He's played in many vernacular music ensembles including LOOSE CATTLE, BIG DRAW, 5000 JAZZ ASSASSINS and currently THE FLOPHOUSE FOLLIES.

Race Brook Lodge is a hidden gem in The Berkshires, at the foot of Mt. Race and a short hike from the Appalachian trail. The yoga & event barn at Race Brook is simultaneously rustic and sublime, steeped in hundreds of years of New England history. The Stagecoach Tavern is unpretentious fine dining, exquisite farm-to-table cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Much of the food is sourced from Race Farm, right on the property!
