Sorg Opera House to feature variety of music through the fall

She said there are shows planned through the end of the year and throughout the first quarter of 2023.

“The Cleverlys are a group we’ve had at the Sorg once before and they will be back Sept. 30. They were so much fun the last time we had them and we’re so excited to bring them back,” Griffith said. “We also have Night Fever performing on Sept. 17. They are coming back. We had them last year, and they sold out.”

Griffith said Terrapin Flyer and the Sorg Shakedown Market 2 this Saturday will run alongside the Port Middletown Arts and Music Festival, which is happening the same day. The Terrapin Flyer concert at the Sorg will begin at 8 p.m. and the Sorg Shakedown Market 2 will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Sorg is in walking distance of the Port Middletown Arts and Music Festival.

“We are partnering up with them and we are going to have some specialized vendors come out in the parking lot and in front of the Sorg to sell their crafty, homemade wares,” she said.

Terrapin Flyer is a Grateful Dead cover band. Some of their performers have played with the Grateful Dead. It’s a great concert, Griffith said.

With four shows planned in September, and at least nine more concerts and theatrical events through the end of the year, community members are encouraged to enjoy a concert or a performance close to home. They can also have dinner before the show at a nearby restaurant. Griffith said patrons don’t have to travel far or go out of town to have a great night out.

“We are a well-kept secret, or a hidden gem in Middletown,” Griffith said.

The Sorg will continue to bring concerts, theater shows, and musical productions to the stage in Middletown in the months ahead.

- The Belairs on Oct. 14
