In queer culture, a "Tom cat" is a bisexual or pan woman with masculine traits, which was part of the origin of the new bar's name. It only seems fitting that we kick off Pride Week here on June 2nd, with a special Karaoke party featuring music by Gay Icons ONLY. There will be a set list for songs to choose from: Tracy Chapman, George Michael, Queen, Cher, Village People & so many more! Come share a bev & a song or two at the newest gay club in Three Oaks.

Dylan Reed Leavitt is a twenty year old singer-songwriter, haling from Valparaiso, Indiana. Since the age of thirteen, Dylan has deeply involved herself within the local music and theatre scene, and is soon to take her passion for songwriting to Berklee College of Music. Her passion for music lies not only in an appreciation for expression through sound, but in the paramount scope for advocacy that lies within it. Her original style and natural audience rapport has built her a significant following, which she strives to wield as a weapon for change. If you enjoy poignant lyrics and tongue-in-cheek banter, you are sure to enjoy her show.
