SUMMARY:Trivia & Taco Tuesday with DJ Trivia RI at Surf Cantina
DESCRIPTION:Trivia & Taco Tuesday with DJ Trivia RI at Surf Cantina turns Tuesday nights in downtown Westerly into a mix of tacos\, drinks\, and friendly competition. With $3 tacos running from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and trivia kicking off at 7 p.m.\, the weekly event blends casual dinner plans with the kind of lively group atmosphere that keeps tables talking\, laughing\, and debating answers long after the first round begins. \nTrivia & Taco Tuesday with DJ Trivia RI brings a more energetic spin to the usual trivia-night format thanks to DJ Trivia’s fast-moving style and crowd interaction. Teams gather around baskets of tacos and drinks while competing through rounds that can shift from pop culture and music to sports\, movies\, and random knowledge. The setup works especially well inside Surf Cantina’s coastal-inspired atmosphere\, where the laid-back vibe keeps the night social even for people who are mostly there for the tacos and margaritas. \nTuesday nights in Westerly tend to feel quieter before the summer weekend crowds fully arrive\, which gives events like this a strong locals-night feel. Surf Cantina’s Canal Street location adds to that energy\, drawing groups of friends\, coworkers\, and trivia regulars looking for an easy midweek outing that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Between the taco specials\, upbeat trivia atmosphere\, and downtown setting\, the night offers a fun excuse to break up the workweek without overcomplicating it. \n

SUMMARY:An Evening with Paul Cauthen at the UNITED Theatre
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Paul Cauthen at the UNITED Theatre brings the East Texas singer-songwriter to downtown Westerly on Friday\, August 7\, for a night of country music with an outlaw streak. Cauthen takes over the UNITED’s Black Box Auditorium with a sound that moves between traditional country\, Southern soul and hard-driving rock\, backed by one of the most unmistakable voices in modern country music. \nCauthen isn’t an artist who fits comfortably into one corner of country. Raised in a family of preachers\, he grew up surrounded by music and eventually developed a booming baritone that can carry a gospel-influenced ballad just as convincingly as a swaggering country-rock song. His records have increasingly pushed against genre lines while keeping Texas storytelling at their center. \nThe Westerly performance is part of the UNITED’s “Nashville North” initiative\, which brings country and Americana artists from around the country to Rhode Island through concerts and other cultural programs. Doors open at 7 p.m.\, with Cauthen taking the stage at 8 p.m. for an all-ages show. \nAbout Paul Cauthen\nCauthen grew up in East Texas and first gained national attention as one half of the Americana duo Sons of Fathers before beginning his solo career. His solo work has allowed him to stretch far beyond conventional country\, mixing old-school influences with rock\, soul\, gospel and flashes of funk. \nThat willingness to take chances is particularly evident on Black on Black\, his 2024 studio album. The 12-song record leans into gritty country rock while continuing the musical experimentation that has become a hallmark of his career. \nOnstage\, it’s Cauthen’s voice that ties those different sounds together. His deep baritone and larger-than-life delivery have become central to his reputation as a live performer\, whether he’s leaning into a quiet lyric or letting the full band loose behind him. \nWhat to Expect\nThis is billed as An Evening with Paul Cauthen\, with no opening act listed by the UNITED. That puts the focus entirely on Cauthen and his catalog. \nFans can expect the collision of sounds that has defined his solo career: classic country storytelling\, Texas grit and a rock-and-roll edge. It’s a combination that should translate particularly well to the UNITED’s Black Box Auditorium\, a flexible performance space that puts audiences much closer to the stage than a traditional arena concert. \nNashville North at the UNITED\nThe concert is part of the UNITED’s Nashville North initiative\, an ongoing cultural exchange celebrating country and Americana music. The program brings performers and other creative partners from Nashville and around the country to Westerly for performances\, education and arts programming. \nThe UNITED itself occupies a restored 1926 theater in downtown Westerly and now operates as a nonprofit regional arts center with live performance spaces\, cinemas\, a gallery and music education facilities. \nTickets\nTickets range from $42 to $50\, with fees included in the listed price. Tickets purchased for UNITED events are non-refundable and non-transferable. The theater also warns guests against purchasing from third-party sellers. \nEvent Details\nDate\nFriday\, August 7\, 2026 \nDoors\n7:00 p.m. \nShow\n8:00 p.m. \nLocation\nUnited Theatre – Black Box Auditorium \nAddress\n5 Canal Street\nWesterly\, RI 02891 \nAdmission\n$42–$50\, fees included \nAge Restrictions\nAll ages \nAccessibility\nThe UNITED is wheelchair accessible and offers assistive devices. Guests attending live performances who need accessible seating are encouraged to contact the box office before purchasing tickets. \nImportant Notes\nTickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. The UNITED is not responsible for tickets purchased through third-party sellers. \nMore Information\nFor more information\, visit the event website using the Event Website link below. \nFor ticket purchases\, click on the Ticketing link below. \n
