PRESS ARTICLES JL Stevens Spotlight Entertainment: Ernest's IOKA music series Ernest Whaley wants you to listen. Not to him exactly, but to the music productions he puts on. The "Listen To The Music Series" at the Ioka in Exeter is a logical progression from the "Singer Songwriter Showcase" that Ernest hosted for more than a year at the Stone Church in Newmarket. Club Ioka, which is downstairs from the Ioka Theater, is a perfect listening room, according to Ernest, and probably one of the most attractive venues on the Seacoast for singer-songwriters. Ernest says, "This is indeed a 'listening room,' you would be well served to come on out, have a bite to eat at one of the nearby eateries, then enjoy your favorite beverage (yes Club Ioka has a bar), while listening to some of the best talent in the country."
