Thursday May 21st: Vegan Music Showcase at the Sierra Grille

Vegan Radio's favorite vegan duo Beloved Binge will be in town from North Carolina to be on VR and then to play Sierra Grille's "Re-Animate the Baystate" Thursday night showcase. The headliner will be Aaron B. & The True Believers and Vio/Mire from Rhode Island will also play. All three bands are vegan - this will be a great show! We will have a table with Vegan Bus info available. Must be 21 or older and it is $2 bucks to get in.

We would like to thank Marc Sheehan for booking the acts. O'Brian Tomalin, owner The Sierra Grille, wants us to let you know about the vegan options:

For the vegan we carry Tempeh from Lightlife which is a local MA Company. We hold it in a lite marinade of soy, herbs, and citrus. The diner is then allowed to choose sauce and two sides. We have a separate vegetable grill. All the sauces are vegan except for one. Sauces: Citrus Salsa, Roasted Corn & Tomatilla Salsa, Mediterranean (tomatoes, capers, garlic, olives, basil), Ale Carmelized Onions & Mushrooms, Red Wine Mushroom Reduction, Thai Basil & Coconut, Fruit BBQ, Peanut Satay, as well as special Sauces. The sides options are: Asian Green Beans, Rosted Potatoes, Basmati Rice, Grilled Asparagus, Grilled Veggies, Belgian Fries, and special daily options. We have other vegan APP and SMALL BITE options, and we have a separate vegetarian deep fryer. We usually have a vegan soup as well.
