We first met the Mark and Sharon Piper when we stayed at their glorious Bed and Breakfast just after they had become the inn's new owners in 2009. What an experience! And what a breakfast! You may them as inn keepers, but there's a lot more behind this fun loving, dynamic duo, which you can learn about in our Profiles section.
We first met Mark Piper just after he and his wife Sharon opened up their Schroon Lake Bed and Breakfast back in 2009.
Little did we know that besides his skills in the kitchen, where he can whip up a killer breakfast, that he was a very talented singer and song writer. If you've seen him play the open mic at Witherbee's on Thursdays, you know what we mean. If you haven't -- then check him out at his new "other" weekly gig every Saturday afternoon in the Town Park next to the Band Shell through the end of the summer.
At the last open mic at Witherbee's we were gobsmacked by the talent that this Thursday evening tradition attracts. Under the guidance of Mark Piper, who did a full hour himself, we heard a variety of performers play country, rock and a bit of blue grass. We also heard a very cool version of Aerosmith's "Dream On", performed by 15-year-old Erin Milsom. Erin was making her debut and she totally rocked it! She also performed the Rufus Wainwright song "Hallelujah", accompanied by her mom, Lesa Milsom.
There's a really nice vibe in the room (It's the upstairs bar area) and you feel like you are part of an intimate family gathering. Erin won't be there tonight -- she's in Appalachia on a church a service project -- but we hear she will be back in August.
Thursdays. Witherbee's Carriage House, Route 9, 6 pm.
After a long, hot week, there’s nothing better than kicking back with an ice cold adult beverage, in air conditioned comfort, while listening to some kick butt country rock!
That’s why you should be at Witherbee’s tonight to see the Inlaws, one of the best country rock acts around. Check out their video to get a taste of what this band is all about. The boys have been busy laying down tracks for a new album, featuring many of the songs you can hear tonight. 8 pm – 12 am.
Witherbee’s Carriage House, 581 Route 9. (518) 532-9595
