Tickets

 

DSP is honored to fulfill another frequent request when IRIS DEMENT returns at long last on August 20th at the beautiful third floor ballroom at the Community School of Music and Arts in Ithaca. After a successful show in the same room with her husband, Greg Brown, we’re proud to bring Iris for a solo show to heat up the hottest summer month.  Tickets will go on sale HERE on Friday, February 19th at 9AM. They will cost $27.50 in advance. We’re excited to present the frequent John Prine collaborator and since we couldn’t secure her in a co-bill with John in February, we figured this is the next best thing!
