Soulful Storytelling, Timeless Sound

Join us for an unforgettable evening on Sunday, April 20th from 6 - 8pm with New England Music Award-nominated folk singer-songwriter Riley Cotton. Hailing from Hartford but shaped by the bold voices of Texas country, Riley weaves raw emotion, masterful storytelling, and unapologetic authenticity into every song.

With her band, The Tin Men, she’ll be performing tracks from her critically acclaimed EP, Falling of the Fervor—hailed as one of Connecticut’s top albums of 2024. Experience the passion, power, and poetic lyricism that make her one of the region’s most compelling rising artists.

Join us at The Abner on April 27th from 6–9 PM for an unforgettable evening with Mike Wilson, Litchfield County’s own award-winning singer-songwriter. Known for his soulful, heartfelt performances, Mike blends inspired covers and compelling originals, drawing influence from legends like Dylan, Fleetwood, Stapleton, and Winehouse.

By day, he’s a beloved middle school math teacher, but by night, he trades square roots for rock roots, performing at top venues across Connecticut. His talent and passion recently earned him a 2025 Litchfield Magazine Reader’s Choice Award—and now, he’s bringing his signature Americana sound to The Courtroom.

Don’t miss a night of great music, craft cocktails, and our new Spring menu!
