Welcome to

SPLATTER CONCERTS

Splatter Concerts is the new name for the series of shows that began back in 2002 at Holy Wisdom Church in Flanders, NJ. Our current home is located in Whippany, NJ, where we rent the facilities at the Ukrainian American Cultural Center, a new venue with beautiful concert space and ample parking. We continue to bring you the best in blues and American roots music, with occasional forays into rock, folk, and country. Our spokescat, Splatter, a Philadelphia native, adopted our founder several years ago and remains pretty much the brains behind this operation. Ms. Splatter will be happy to answer your questions and requests for information. See the "Contact Us" e-mail below.


Our Philosophy
It's about the music! We're not in it for the money. When we can, we regularly donate to local worthy causes, and we couldn't do what we do without the gracious assistance of volunteers, including several gentlemen from the Knights of Columbus, a very worthy charitable organization.  Let's face it - it's not so easy to enjoy good live music these days. Most of us have job and family responsibilities, ticket prices have skyrocketed, and the venues in NY or Philly aren't that close. By having concerts locally at an earlier hour, you can skip the traffic, time spent on the road, bridge or tunnel tolls, parking fees, late nights with insufficient sleep, and outrageous ticket prices. We offer tasty, affordable food, and depending on their age, children under 18 are either free or pay no more than $5.00 - so you don't need a babysitter if you can't find or can't afford one. Every effort is made to make it easy for you to come and enjoy the music!

Splatter presents

Performance Calendar

Saturday, June 9th 2012 Extraordinary Guitarist BERNARD ALLISON Long-time followers of Splatter Concerts know that Bernard Allison was scheduled to appear back when the concerts were in Flanders, NJ, from 2001 until 2005. He canceled due to automotive problems, and it has taken us this long to get him back. IT WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT!! One of the modern blues guitarists who have taken over from the old masters, Bernard is as good as it gets, and undoubtedly makes his father, the late great Luther Allison, quite proud. Take our word for it - Bernard can play anything! Would we have tried for nearly 10 years to reschedule him if we didn't know he was worth the trouble? Please - come on out and see for yourself!   Adults $26 in advance $28 Day of Show Ages 13-17 $5.00 12 & under free
