Community Events

Lip Sync Battle 2026 is back for its 10th anniversary on April 18 at the Talbot County Community Center; a joyful community fundraiser where teams turn up the fun to support Talbot Interfaith Shelter’s mission to end homelessness with heart and music. Each year, we feature two competitions: creative online video submissions and a high-energy LIVE show on event night. Every dollar donated is a vote for your favorite team, so your support helps determine the winners while making a real impact. Hosted with community spirit and non-stop entertainment, this isn’t just a show, it’s a chance to rally together for good.

Come early at 6:00 pm for food, drinks, and photo booth fun, then watch as our neighbors duke it out starting at 7:00 pm to see who will be crowned this year’s Lip Sync Champions!

Presented by Sun Management.

The April 18 coffeehouse concert features singer, songwriter and record producer Tony Sciuto. From Top 10 hits to legendary collaborations, Tony Sciuto has been a mainstay of the music industry since his debut song was covered by the Bay City Rollers in 1976. A prolific songwriter, Tony’s credits include Tina Turner’s "Stronger Than The Wind," Don Johnson’s "Last Sound Love Makes," and works for B.J. Thomas and Little River Band. As a performer, his career is equally storied. He spent seven years as the pianist for Little River Band, toured with PLAYER ("Baby Come Back"), and famously rocked the screen in the Full House band, Jesse and the Rippers, with John Stamos. Tony enjoyed a band reunion on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon and in 2014 and 2016 released a two solo CDs, Under the Radar (Vivid Sound, Japan) and Temptation Alley (P-Vine Records, Japan).

Please note: no food or beverages are allowed past the front area of the store.
