The Comfort Theatre Company presents

East of Westreville is a blues to bluegrass road trip…

with a few stops along the way!

It is Americana roots music: bluegrass, blues, gospel, folk, and country—an ever-changing mix of music and memories, reminiscent

of the days when all that was needed for entertainment was a barn dance or a Philco radio and a comfy chair. Get ready for a great evening of old-timey

foot-stomping, hand-clapping acoustic music intertwined with homespun humor.
