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!
