Norwalk, CT – Since opening its distillery and tasting room in 2019 in South Norwalk, SONO 1420, America’s Maritime Distillery, has built a stellar reputation for its award-winning spirits. This veteran-owned and operated distillery has received double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition for its whiskey, earned a spot on Wine Enthusiast’s "Top 100 Spirits" list in 2024 for its vodka, and offers a diverse selection of ready-to-drink cocktails, innovative Threesome Ready-to-Mix Cocktails, and botanical gins.
Starting in March, SONO 1420 will enhance its Tasting Room experience with Acoustic SoNo, a live music series showcasing local talent from across Connecticut. Admission is free, making it an inviting way to enjoy great drinks, a lite bites menu, and live entertainment with friends and family. In addition to live music, SONO 1420 will introduce comedy nights to its event calendar, with the first show, produced by Don’t Tell Comedy, set for April 12 at the distillery.
Acoustic SoNo is the perfect way to wrap up the workweek and kick off the weekend, featuring a dynamic lineup of musicians, singers, and songwriters across a variety of genres. Whether stopping by for a drink or making a night of it, guests can expect an unforgettable blend of craft spirits and top-tier entertainment.March 7 - Vinnie Ferrone
