I was just rolling along doing what was necessary and available to me to keep on doing my best. Sometime down and out but I had to keep on moving and never was in doubt,” from Fred Thomas. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/north-haven/fred-thomas-of-the-jb’s/100001754216742499 - **Event Categories**: Entertainment, Music, Art, Concerts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 28.45, max: 28.45, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: North Haven - **state**: CT - **country**: United States - **location**: Small Batch Cellars - **lat**: 41.34556329999999 - **long**: -72.86732839999999 - **full address**: Small Batch Cellars, 37 Nettleton Avenue, North Haven, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: FRED THOMAS OF THE J.B.’S - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/17e02832a2402d12fc7ab7c25feb84df3bfb492fb9a98a42227e10dfa275a591-rimg-w1200-h1800-dc151413-gmir.jpg?v=1760629445 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is FRED THOMAS OF THE J.B.’S being held? - **A:** FRED THOMAS OF THE J.B.’S takes place on Sat, 20 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 20 Dec, 2025 at 10:00 pm at Small Batch Cellars, 37 Nettleton Avenue, North Haven, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing FRED THOMAS OF THE J.B.’S? - **A:** FRED THOMAS OF THE J.B.’S is organized by Small Batch Cellars. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "FRED THOMAS OF THE J.B.’S", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/17e02832a2402d12fc7ab7c25feb84df3bfb492fb9a98a42227e10dfa275a591-rimg-w1200-h1800-dc151413-gmir.jpg?v=1760629445", "startDate": "2025-12-20", "endDate": "2025-12-20", "url": "https://allevents.in/north-haven/fred-thomas-of-the-jb’s/100001754216742499", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Small Batch Cellars", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "37 Nettleton Avenue", "postalCode": "06473", "addressLocality": "North Haven", "addressRegion": "CT", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "41.34556329999999", "longitude": "-72.86732839999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for an unforgettable night of funk, soul & groove at Small Batch Cellars featuring legendary bassist Fred Thomas", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-28", "availabilityEnds": "2025-12-20", "validFrom": "2026-04-28", "lowPrice": "28.45", "highPrice": "28.45", "price": "28.45", "url": "https://allevents.in/north-haven/fred-thomas-of-the-jb’s/100001754216742499" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-28", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-28", "url": "https://allevents.in/north-haven/fred-thomas-of-the-jb’s/100001754216742499", "price": "28.45", "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Small Batch Cellars", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/small-batch-cellars/23972052", "description": "The winery was established in June of 2020. Michael and Kristen met before that and made wine together for several vintages. Limited to small batches, but always trying to push the envelope and make wine outside of the box. Whether it be with varietals, blends, styles, practices or unique adjuncts. It wasn’t until the summer of 2020 that they decided to open their own winery. Having their own space and tools allowed them to explore so much more and to share their creations and passion with a larger audience. Thus Small Batch Cellars was born." } ] } ] ```
