About the event
Wild Eye Pub is happy to host the magical squad of Beaucoup Chapeaux as part our Creekside Sundays at Wild Eye series!
How might one describe this band? Try these:
Euro Jazz Balkan Beat ~~ Astonishing Musical Juggernauts ~~ Parisian Bistro, Italian Café and Circus ~~Dulcet and rocking and rhythmic voice!
“Beaucoup Chapeaux has created a very magical niche with this music. It's a feel, an ambiance, something lovers can whisper behind and get up and dance to.”
Together for 15 years, with two albums and nearly 800 concerts to its credit, Beaucoup Chapeaux is Maggie McKaig on accordion and vocals; Luke Wilson
on tenor guitar, plectrum banjo, vocals; Murray Campbell, violin, oboes, vocals; and Randy McKean, clarinets and vocals.
Playing an eclectic melange of French chansons, Italian tarantellas, Balkan folk tunes, Hot Club jazz, originals, and more, Beaucoup Chapeaux enchants audiences wherever they play. As to their name, Beaucoup Chapeaux (bad French for “many hats”), it refers not to hats at all, but to their wide-ranging music and musical backgrounds. But at its simplest, the very roots of Beaucoup Chapeaux are about creating joy, or as the French say, the joie de vivre—the joy of life, that which makes life worth living, that gives one a reason to keep going. That’s what the band feels their audiences and the world needs, so
that’s what they do.

About Wild Eye Pub:
We're a family-friendly event venue, with a restaurant and bar. We make farm-to-table foods from local & organic sources, and a full bar with regional brews, wines & spirits, with nightly entertainment in a comfy 'supper club' style with an easy vibe
.
This event is presented on our large, shady, creekside stage. Seating and service starts 90 minutes ahead. We serve "supper club" style: table service of food and drinks is (quietly) offered during the event. The creek breeze cools off in the evening: layers are suggested, and we have fresh blankets to share.
We don't "turn over tables" to serve more diners - you can keep your table for the whole evening. So, the sliding scale ticket fee for most shows helps us pay and feed the nightly performers. Thank you for supporting live artists!
You can easily make reservations - just seats, or seats and table for dining - while buying your ticket! Plan ahead - our limited seating often fills before day of show.
PARKING: Pub has free parking. More nearby parking is at corner of Mill & McCourtney, a 2-minute walk. Across from Pub's front door, French Ave has parking. Carpooling is encouraged - our neighbors appreciate it!
