Berea is set for a warm-up from the winter chill with an evening of unplugged music in the heart of Old Town.
Friday, January 23, Top Drawer Gallery hosts “3 Men & A Banjo” from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. as part of the gallery’s ongoing Acoustic Nights series.
Admission is free, with donations encouraged.
🎨 Top Drawer Gallery, long known for showcasing handmade American artistry, has also become a welcoming space for live community entertainment—an easy stop for residents looking for a low-key night out or visitors building a weekend itinerary around Berea’s arts district.
And the live-performance energy doesn’t stop at the gallery doors.
Just down the road, The Spotlight Playhouse opens its next production the same weekend:
🎭 Blazing Guns at Roaring Gulch (or The Perfumed Badge)
January 23–25 and January 30–31, 2026 – The Spotlight Playhouse
For anyone planning an arts-filled Friday night, the timing lines up neatly for a music-and-theater weekend in Berea—catch the acoustic set at Top Drawer, then make plans for a laugh-heavy night at the Playhouse.
Together, nights like these highlight what locals already know:
even in the coldest part of the year, Berea stays lively, with small venues and local stages keeping the town’s creative heartbeat strong.
