Live Music - 8:30PM
She Hates Me is a two person musical dynamo consisting
of guitarist/comedian Kevin Sullivan and vocalist Shannon McGill. We offer
a fresh interpretation of a variety of songs ranging from the jazz standards
of the 30's and 40's to the guilty pleasures of 80's pop. Listeners are
treated to a six decade musical retrospective that includes some perennial
favorites as well as some lesser known gems. The novel juxtapositions
of our song selections, our inventive arrangements, and an open hatred
for one another make for a fun and unexpected performance each and every
time. Come and check out one of our shows or hire us for your next party.
Be a part of the hipness and excitement that is She Hates Me!

Influenced thru musical expression since his mother

that quest.

and it has already earned him accolades, with the release of his new record,
The Long Evening. Keith is being hailed as writing "Gracefully melodic
songs about life, love and dealing with the real world, with flashes of
confidence but also moments of great vulnerability.” (Jay Lustig
– Star Ledger) He’s been called “one of the best songwriters
in the state of New Jersey” (Gary Wien - NewJerseyStage.com) and
“a writer who will leave his mark on our collective musical history."
(John Pfeiffer - Aquarian Weekly) His songs have been featured on MTV's
"The Real World" MTV's "8th & Ocean", TV lands
