March Music Matinee at Tiny Raccoon Books!

The first matinee of 2026 is here!!!!

We are co-hosting this one with Suite 208*! The show starts at 2pm SHARP, is free* and all-ages. Bring your kids.

* Suite208, once a small concert venue, is now trying to stay active in the LI music scene by booking and promoting shows while searching for a new home. Stay tuned as Ciro and Ang continue to bring the best local talent to the stage, no matter where the stage may be. (Suite loves you and misses you)

* Entrance to show is free but we will be asking you to donate an item to the Hub of Help (held every Thursday in Blue Point- provides free showers, food pantry, clothes and toiletries to those in need). We will announce soon what we are asking for you to donate. https://www.instagram.com/hubofhelp.li/
