Audrain’s La Forge Restaurant has cut ties with Newport’s piano legend Dave Manuel. In a Facebook post Tuesday, Manuel revealed that he was informed this Friday would be his last night performing at the restaurant.
“Just found out that this coming weekend will be my last at the LaForge,” Manuel wrote. “I’m grateful for the times that I have had there and hope to see you this weekend and beyond.”
A longtime staple of Newport’s music scene, Manuel has been the go-to for unforgettable tunes for what feels like forever!
We can’t wait to see where Dave goes next! He’s a true Newport treasure.
