Announcing our first Parlor Show at Wilder House Berkshires: Clem Snide

When I bought the Wilder House in 2023, one of my dreams was that one day, our inn would host unique musical experiences for our guests and community.  Today, I’m excited to announce that this vision will come to life on Friday, May 16th when we host Clem Snide -  the longtime project of celebrated Americana songwriter Eef Barzelay. 

Clem Snide first emerged from Boston as a three-piece in the early 1990s, and has become a cult and critical favorite, with NPR describing Eef as “the most underrated songwriter in the business today, with a sneakily firm grasp on poignancy and humor.” 

I first saw Clem Snide in Baltimore in 2001 when they were opening for Ben Folds. I was sixteen years old, and their albums “The Ghosts of Fashion” and “End of Love” became staples for me in my formative teenage years. I’m beyond excited that over 20 years later, I get to present Eef solo in our living room - as our inaugural concert in a series I’m calling Wilder House Parlor Shows.

Space for this event is very limited. In addition to Wilder House Guests, We have room for 20 people from our community. All Wilder House Guests will receive complimentary admission. 

With several rooms still available, this show is a great chance to turn the concert into an unforgettable trip to the Berkshires!
