“What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret ...”
-- from "Cabaret" by Fred Ebb & John Kander
Sponsored by the Hancock Depot Association and the Keene Music Festival and hosted by Crazy Cowz (www.facebook.com/crazycowz), the Hancock Depot Cabaret is a music, arts, and function venue located in the old Hancock Train Station/Dep
ot on Depot Road. The Cabaret was created to provide a venue for local and regional musicians, poets, and other artisans to share their talent in a comfortable, friendly, and inspirational environment. While admission is free, we suggest a $5 donation, which the Association will use to keep the lights on and provide general maintenance for the Depot. The Hancock Train Station/Depot served the town from 1878 to 1934 on a rail that went from Elmwood/Hancock Junction to Keene. It accommodated the local farmers as well as summer visitors and tourists seeking a bucolic environment far detached from the hectic city. The rail was abandoned in 1934 after extensive flood damage. A few years later, the building was moved a bit northward, then restored to its present condition. The Cabaret will be open on the first Saturday of each month, weather permitting. The show begins at 8:00; doors open at 7:30 if you want to sign up to play at one of several open mic spots. In addition to the music, visitors will enjoy snacks, veggies, and drinks (BYOB!). If you are interested in performing as a feature performer, want to sign up for an open mic spot, rent the Depot for an event, or simply want more information:
