Lindsey & Francis are bringing a special showcase of their Hollywood Magic Castle Halloween Show, Ghostlight, to the east coast for the first time. Marvel at the impossible in the beautiful Big Room of TileWorks. Following the show, select guests can join for a seance to contact Henry C. Mercer, the founder of the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works. This will be a very special limited experience (only 13 tickets each night) and tickets include a custom themed cocktail - some spirits to help you commune with the spirits, if you will - with a non-alcoholic option available as well. Lindsey Noel and Francis Menotti are not just any couple, they are Couple of Magicians! They've taken their magic around the world from LA to NYC to London to New Zealand. You may recognize them from their multiple television appearances on Penn & Teller: Fool Us or Masters of Illusion but if not, now's your chance to see what makes their brand of #LoveAndMagic so powerful and engaging. Fast, Funny, and Freaking Impossible - these two aren't just performing the impossible, they're changing what it looks like. This is a PG13 show.

INFORMATION & TICKETSRushadicus, Ambassador of Sneth, is one cello goblin who needs no introduction, but allow us to do our best. Rushadicus is a mystical realm-hopping jester of infinite glee, whose unprecedented extremely fast bouncy cello style blows minds of all kinds, transmitting fluffy rainbow unicorn metal from a magic green dimension whose mystic tongues growl the delapitude of the future across speedy spectrums of the wildest astral cello landscapes with oceans of glee, skies full of bats and forests full of strange melody monsters: does it even exist? Rusharguanox hops between dimensions as he growls the language of sneth over antelope-defeating landspeed records of jick and bat fury of potatoes in whirlwind antenna farms. This fall, Rushadicus returns to TileWorks to tell of his journey throughout the furthest reaches of turtle island and share his message of joyfully guttural revelry.
INFORMATION & TICKETSOn Fri., 11/8 we are celebrating the power of song from artists near + far at The TileWorks. The night will feature touring artist, Marty O'Reilly and the stellar Doylestown-based Yuri Gohen, with special guest host, Joe Montone. Marty O'Reilly Explaining Marty O’Reilly’s music is like describing a dream. It feels familiar, but at the same time unchartered. His songs sound bluesy but not blues, folk but not folk, soulful but not soul. Marty’s voice is beautiful and unique, his lyrics stark yet lush over gritty electrified guitar, melding beautifully into genre-defying music within the vast definitions of Americana. One can hear an urgency and complexity in the songs, expressing something elemental and perhaps contradictory: love and anger, joy and pain, real and imagined. The live performance is at the core of Marty’s projects. On stage, whether accompanied by a band, or alone, he enters a trance and the music is born again as something new every night. It’s what his followers call “magic”. He goes from raw gospel blues to cinematic epics, from heavy driving grooves to delicately arranged folk songs. Marty leaves the stage out of breath and sweaty, his audience in awe. It's hard to describe, impossible to categorize. Yet people who know the music will try to explain it to you, just as you might struggle to explain a dream in the morning. The details might slip away as you recount them, but the feeling remains. “I started playing music as medicine for myself to feel good and digest some melancholy,” Marty leaves off. “Over time, I realized if music makes me feel good, the people around me who become a part of it will feel good too. It connects us on the same wavelength. I hope to give the world something real and refreshing. Yuri Gohen Yuri Gohen is a singer of folk songs, old time-y tunes, and Irish music located in Doylestown, PA. Joe Montone Joe Montone has been writing songs and immersed in music for over half his life. The Doylestown native is also known for setting the stage as the Concert + Experiences Producer behind the Abington Art Center Summer Concert Series, Picnics On Pine, and his classic country revue The Holy Heat Thunder Country Show.
