Boat of Garten Community Hall is delighted to welcome The Grahams all the way from America. This will be a night to remember.

The Grahams are New York grown, Nashville based Alyssa and Doug Graham.
This tour will be a multi media performance with a 30 minute documentary film ‘Searching The Milky Way,’ to proceed a 60-75 minute live performance. The film was shot by New York filmmakers Natalie Brasington and David Johnson during The Grahams‘ motorcycle adventure across the legendary Route 66.

They released the EP, Sha La La, in Summer 2021. Recorded in 2020, the songs reflect the artist’s need to escape and be joyous, when the world is spinning backwards. As Alyssa Graham says “When unable to make plans, make art!”.

Boat of Garten’s Annual Auction Sale is back with a bang to kick off what is looking to be a great year at the Boat of Garten Community Hall… so now’s the time to start having that clear out!

We are on the look out for good quality saleable goods as donations or on a commissioned basis. We will also be having a raffle and would greatly appreciate donations for that too!

This is a great chance to get involved and have a great day out as well as helping raise funds for Boat of Garten Community Hall.
