Don McAvoy & The Great Whatever ®

Welcome to DMCGW.COM - RATED "E" FOR EVERYONE!

 

We are pleased to announce our first show of 2019 and our first show  at a new venue!  It will be Saturday, April 27^th, 8 PM at The Living Room at 35 East in Ardmore, PA.  

The Living Room At 35 East is a modern listening room with couches, comfortable chairs and pillows. Bring a bottle of wine, beer or cocktail and listen to DMCGW! Since the space is small (seats only 40 people) the performances are especially intimate. The venue is located In the heart of Ardmore at 35 East Lancaster Avenue,  surrounded by restaurants, bars, and shops, and parking is available in the municipal lot next door to the venue. All parking in Ardmore is FREE after 6 PM! Or you can take the train to the Ardmore Train Station and walk one block down Lancaster Ave. Also please consider Uber and Lyft.  The doors open at 7:00 pm and the show starts promptly at 8:00 pm

Since this is a small (40) person venue, we recommend that you buy your tickets well in advance of the show date as this venue tends to sell out fast and there might not be any tickets left for date of show purchase.  Ticket price is $20 per person (plus a service charge of approximately $1.29 ea) and includes BYOB fee.  Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are available for purchase at the venue. You may only bring alcoholic beverages with you into the venue.

Tickets can only be purchased through the venue’s ticket site: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4095378

This is a unique and fun opportunity to see DMCGW up close and personal and in a way that is all about the music!.  We will have CD’s available for sale and will gladly meet our fans for photos, autographs (ours or someone else’s!) and conversation after the show!

We hope you can attend and would really appreciate your support at this new venue.

 

We'd like to thank Angel Alamo and his team from The Elements Media Networks for taking the time to visit with us and video tape an interview with us at our rehearsal / recording space recently. We anticipate that this interview will air / be posted in July or August. We are very honored that Angel and his team are fans of ours and that they devoted many hours of their time for this endeavor. We look forward to seeing this finished product and sharing it with our friends and fans.
