Chewstick now @ Level & Spinning Wheel
It's a pleasure to announce that Chewstick, Bermuda's legendary open-mic jam session is now EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT, thanks to the support of The Bermuda Department of Tourism. For the summer we will be weekly, alternating venues between Spinning Wheel Entertainment Complex on Court Street and Level Nightclub on Front Street. For those not from the rock, this is the social equivalent of going from Compton to Hollywood, or Harlem to Wall Street, a historic move that Chewstick has embarked upon to utilize entertainment to break down social polarization and bring the people of Bermuda closer together. We are more alike than we know and our differences deserve to be celebrated! Judging from the huge success Spinning Wheel has been, the walls will come tumbling down! Check back soon for upcoming events, this summer gon be BIG!
