This Week, On A Very Special "What's Rockin'. . . ?"

Couple of things...

First, it's beautiful outside. Second, We are going to be closed next week for some structural work needed for the upcoming rooftop deck.

It will only be March 3rd through the 9th, and we promise the 10th will be business as usual. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We are only doing these things to make your experience with us even better. In the meantime, the upcoming week is very important. If you can only make it out one night this week make it Tuesday...see below.



Monday: Pizza, Pitcher, and a Picture Night continues. This weeks film is Stanley Kubrick's "Lolita." Great pizzas combined with scandalous films...it's what the best Hollywood foundations are built on. 8:30pm

Tuesday: Comes a time, once a year, when Ty has a Birthday. Ty likes to keep his birthdays quiet. We ask, "Why?" When a man is turning 33 years old it's important to have all of your friends around to help you celebrate. That's why we're asking you to come down on Tuesday night and help us celebrate Ty's 33rd Birthday. Ben and Miguel are putting together a fabulous Island inspired menu, and the Prescott Playboys will be on hand with special guests and surprises. Music starts at 7pm.

Wednesday: Ben and Cody are putting together the best Burger Menu in town. Local Musician, Teacher, and all around Friend of the Jazz Community Mel Zelnick recently passed away. Services are being held Wednesday, friends and musicians are coming in from around the country, and a tribute concert is being held at the Raven Wednesday Night (Tonight). It promises to be a night of memories, new musical comraderies, and great Jazz. 7pm

Thursday:
Creole-Soul Food and a benefit for the Prescott Area Women's Shelter. PAWS cares for local women who are in abusive situations. The benefit will help provide funds for the shelter. The Raven will donate 10% of the evenings earnings, so, the more people who come out the better.

Music for the evening will be provided by Jonathon Best from 6pm until 7:30pm...Then, KING BEE and THE SNAPPIN' TURTLES will take the stage for an evening of snake handling and spiritual revivalist dance music. Evening starts at 6pm...Please come support PAWS for doing so much good work in the community.

Friday: Miguel will be cooking up some great ribs with all the fixins, as well as a whole bunch of other goodies. Adam Schrader will spin a Revival set of all the classics you forgot you loved so much.

Saturday:
Tapas, Raven-Style. It's a classic concept, re-invented the way we love to do things. DJ O. Allen Huddleston will be on hand to spin a set of ambient, eclectic, danceable soul music. 8pm

Sunday: We will not be open this Sunday through next Sunday.

Your album of the week: MV and EE & The Golden Road "Gettin' Gone."
Imagine Neil Young, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Junior all working together on something that might sound like an alt-country album and you are probably pretty close to the mark. I drove back from Phoenix late a few nights ago and couldn't have asked for a better soundtrack.

Until Again,

Raven
