It’s Friday!!! The weekend has begun!! So come on in and start it off right!

Order a tasty Fall Cocktail, or cold beer, wine or mocktail and pair it with one of our delicious made from scratch appetizers, soup flight, panini style sandwiches or salad!

Because here at The Sea Witch, bar food doesn’t mean you need to eat bad food!

Then later tonight we have local vocal powerhouse Nell Dare playing from 7-10pm!
If you haven’t heard her before, then you are missing out. Her vocals are reminiscent of 90s musicians like Natalie Merchant, Fiona Apple, and Sarah McLachlan.

See y’all tonight!#fridayvibes #surfcitync #topsailisland #soupflight #weekendishere

On our upcoming line up…we have Nell Dare!

Nell Dare has been crafting an introspective shakeup piano rock sound, along the lines of Tori Amos meets Twenty One Pilots. Although she has been writing songs for decades, “Nell Dare” was born during the pandemic which sparked a return to songwriting.
Pandemic songs are a special type. In 2022, Nell entered one of these songs, “Not a Believer”, in a few songwriting contests to success- being a finalist in the Great American Song Conest (Rock/ Alt category) as well as an honorable mention in the SongDoor contest.
Encouraged by this, she focused on the open mic and songwriter scene in Hampton, VA, where she lived at that time. More singles bought more success- a TV appearance and nominations at the Veer Magazine music awards in 2024 and 2025.
Nell Dare relocated to Hampstead, NC in August 2024 where she has established herself in the Wilmington music scene. She organized the first annual Women’s Festival in March 2026 at Tap Yard in Wilmington, which featured several local female songwriters, including herself.
She is looking forward to releasing more singles, supporting the local music scene and growing her audience.

The first person I immediately run to when I get off stage 💕🌙🔮 (when my daughters aren’t there of course) My girl @gypsygargoyle. Tonight at tempo was wonderful! And it felt so good to belt my whole heart out and sing my original music. Thanks to @deliatheartist and @tempo.33ilm for hosting us, John Hussman for being an incredible sound engineer, and @nelldaremusic for her incredible talent and letting me borrow her keyboard. And a huge special thanks to an incredible and supportive audience 💜. Until next time
