Wicked Tinkers have been playing Tribal Celtic Music (a genre they coined and created) since 1995. The Wicked Tinkers aim to create a sound that is both “ancient and hauntingly familiar” with use of bagpipes, tribal drums, didgeridoos, and a Bronze-Age Irish horn and their Scottish Carnyx (another ancient instrument) paired with a modern, rock-and-roll energy; their music will transport you back in time and get an audience off their feet with a raw, primal, and exciting sound. If the bagpipes stir something within your soul, you will love the tribal connection you will feel listening to Wicked Tinkers Wicked Tinkers on Facebook / YouTube

Matsu invites guests to a rare evening celebrating the elegance of Japanese winemaking with a six-course pairing dinner by Chef William Eick. This one-night-only experience spotlights wines from Yamanashi Prefecture—Japan’s first official wine region and the birthplace of its winemaking tradition. Often overlooked in favor of Old World regions, Yamanashi is quietly crafting wines of remarkable depth, elegance and clarity. At the heart of this story is Koshu (甲州)—Japan’s only indigenous grape, cultivated for over a thousand years. With its delicate minerality, gentle restraint and natural harmony with food, Koshu reflects the same core values that define Matsu: balance, seasonality and a deep respect for craftsmanship. For one special evening, Matsu will pour five wines exclusively sourced from some of Yamanashi’s most storied producers—Kai Winery, Maruki Winery, Mitsuki Winery and Grace Winery. Matsu is honored to be the only restaurant in the country with a direct allocation from Grace, a quiet testament to the strength of its program and its dedication to thoughtful curation. From crystalline Koshu to a rare Japanese Bordeaux-style red, each pairing has been chosen to take guests on a journey through the region’s terroir and tradition. The evening concludes with a dessert course paired with Japanese whisky—a warm, elegant finish to a night dedicated to reverence, rarity and refined storytelling. Matsu on Facebook / Instagram
