Spring is Upon Us
Spring has flung itself upon us with beautiful abandon, hinting at a wonderful opening for our rooftop deck. We are still a couple of months away from the official opening, but just imagine how nice it will be if the current weather is any sort of gauge. Meanwhile, we have plenty planned to keep you occupied...
This Week:
Monday: Pizza, Pitcher and a Picture Night continues with arguably the greatest film ever made (at least to me)...Raiders of the Lost Ark starring Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. 8pm
Tuesday: Ben and Miguel are putting together a Spanish inspired menu. The food will be amazing and the entertainment should be as well. Earth Day is right around the corner, and a benefit is being held to help raise funds for the local celebration. Vaudvillian by design, the guests will be too many to name, and too eclectic to adequately describe. Starts at 7pm.
Wednesday: Our burgers get more famous by the week, come find out what all the fuss is about.
Thursday: Musee Mecanique returns to the Raven stage from Portland, Oregon. Imagine Brian Wilson and Sparklehorse reinventing the future in a time machine filled with the memories of a 1930's boardwalk amusement park. Positively enchanting in every manner. You will love this band. 8pm
Friday: The Denise Allen Band returns for an evening of local blues and international dance moves. 8pm
Saturday: Shri weekend continues with...Shri, the international blues phenomena. There will be a lot of people here for this show, and the dancing will be reckless. 8pm
Sunday: After such a long weekend you deserve a relaxing brunch, and no one does it better than the Raven. Jonathon Best will be on the old upright.
Your Album of the Week: The Patsy Cline box set...sure, it's more than one album, but you can never have enough Patsy Cline, and few albums sound better on a warm night with the windows open and the lights dimmed. If you've already got all of Patsy's albums, try Neko Case, in my opinion the modern day Patsy Cline. Blacklisted is a great album to start with.
Until Again,
Raven

One Special Night of Song
Happy Easter. For those of you who keep up with the rules of fashion, you can break out the seersucker and lace up the white shoes. You've got a straight run til labor day...enjoy! The weather is far to beautiful to spend much time inside, but remember...too much sun is not good for you, and we offer a great environment to get together with your friends and talk about your most recent and futures ventures into the outdoors...it's all about the wildflowers.
Monday: Pizza, Pitcher and a Picture night continues with the best personal pizzas in town, great deals on pitchers, and "Romancing the Stone" starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. It's like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom meets Twins and Crocodile Dundee without the added stylings of Danny Devito and Paul Hogan. 8pm
Tuesday: Ben and Miguel are exploring a new face of Texas. Goat Cheese and Smoked Duck Nachos, Chicken Skewers with a Chipotle Peanut Sauce, Grilled Mahi with a Citrus and Mixed Berry Salad, BBQ Brisket, Veggie Enchiladas with Pueblo Mole, Cornbread, and a few other surprises.
Wednesday: Ben and Cody have created the best burgers in Northern Arizona. Join them on their quest to conquer the rest of the country.
Thursday: It's Soul Food night with musical guests Monday Night Bluegrass. We had a blast last time they were here, and this show promises to be even better. 7pm
Friday: Rolling Stone Magazine says, "Her vocal and lyrical beauty is unmatched." This American Life says, " She sings with a sweet, heartbreaking majesty. Her songs are beautiful, timeless, and transporting." She's been lauded all over the country and throughout the rest of the world as captivating, stunning, and amazingly talented. Devon Sproule is making her first appearance at the Raven.
She will be touring with the equally talented Natalie D Napoleon.
THIS IS ANOTHER HUGE SHOW FOR US...YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS SHOW! Miguel will be making his equally famous ribs. 8pm
Saturday: Tapas, Raven-Style with a night of hip shaking and booty moving music provided by local favorites Blue Wail. 8pm
Sunday: Don't miss brunch on Sunday...There's no better place to spend your morning planning your afternoon's activities. Jonathon Best will be on the Old Upright.
Your Album Of The Week: I was visiting with Ramsay Midwood this week, and we agreed our favorite new album right now is The Dexateens "Hardwire Healing". They are the most interesting band coming out of the deep south at present. It's roll the windows down, turn up the radio, and love the spring kind of music.

Big Daddy D and the Dynamites at The Raven
After winning the Phoenix Blues Society's 2007 Arizona Blues Showdown, Big Daddy D and the Dynamites went on to the annual International Blues Competition in Memphis this year.
Now their back and took the stage at The Raven Cafe last night with a supremely confident and relaxed take on "let the good times roll."

Champion Blues
Thanks to everyone who came out for St Patrick's. It is, however, a holiday that celebrates nationalism, and I'm not Irish, so it doesn't take me long to move on...
The remainder of the week:
Wednesday: From Portland, Oregon...Carrie Clark returns to the Raven. A growing favorite here, and so good we billed her with Mark Olson. She sounds a little like the Cowboy Junkies meet Merle Haggard meet Neko Case in Patsy Cline's sepia-toned jukebox. Also, from Seattle, Washington, Camille Bloom will be opening the show sounding a bit more like Shawn Colvin meets Patty Griffin meets Elvis Costello. 8pm
Thursday: Jonathon Best has played here with more bands than you can count on both hands, but none showcase his talents better than Jonathon, alone with a keyboard, a host of household appliances, and a looping machine. 8pm
Friday: Local band Big Daddy D and The Dynamites recently won the title of "Arizona's Best Blues Band," and was sent to Memphis for the national competition. It's hard to compete with the best of Illinois, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee and Michigan when it comes to the blues, but no matter, guitarist Freddy Cisneros has already played with some of the most legendary players you can think of. There may be better blues bands in the Mississippi Delta, but not much better. Come see why these guys are great. 8pm
Saturday: Long Live Logos return for a night of fusion idie-funk in the stylings of Grandmaster Flash meets Bright Eyes. Local band Madison County shares the bill. This promises to be a fun night. 8pm
Your Album Of The Week: R.E.M. is inarguably the biggest band to come out of Georgia in the 1980's, but there was another band, critically praised, but tragically overlooked and forgotten. Guadalcanal Diary was similar to REM in musical stylings, but lyrically, much more literary and decipherable. Their first album, "Walking In The Shadow Of The Big Man" is a masterpiece of 80's southern college guitar-driven jangle-pop.

Saint Pat's at The Raven Cafe
St. Patrick's Day is upon us.
Around town folks will be crawling from pub to pub (technically bar to bar), which forces us to ask the question, "Why drag yourself along the sidewalk to a green Miller Lite when you can sit upright at The Raven, choose from any one of our great Irish imports, have a traditional Irish dinner, and listen to raucous piano music?"
Brian is putting together a number of beer specials for you, or, if you don't drink, have a green tea. Sure, the tea may be Chinese, but it's officially endorsed by the Dublin Leprechaun Tea Society (I think).
Ben and Miguel are working up a menu to feature many Irish favorites such as bangers and mash, corn-beef and cabbage, pot pies, and lamb.
Dave Manning, a returning favorite, will entertain you throughout the evening with his engaging piano stylings that fit in somewhere between Jerry Lee Lewis, Greg Brown, and Tom Waits.
I'll be sending out an e-mail for the rest of the week by tomorrow evening. In the meantime, I worked up a little story for you if you are interested.

Why the Leprechauns Moved To Alabama
by: Newt Lynn
1845 promised to be a good year for the people of Connacht. As the last pints were raised to the new year, spirits were high with boundless possibility.
The local planning committee had been busy tying up loose ends for the coming "Annual Connacht Potato Festival", and only a faint worry was cast over what mischievous prank might be unleashed by the local leprechauns when the tourists came round this year. The previous year had seen the Guiness kegs drained and refilled with Tangy (an early version of Tang), and the year before that Mr. Donnely's champion pedigree sheep dogs had been neutered. Nothing more than monkey business to be sure, but it was always a little embarrassing to the conservative locals since no one had actually seen one of these "leprechauns," and consequently were unable to pin the blame on something no one else believed in anyway.
The Leprechauns, for their part, had been living out in the woods for generations. They were a bitter bunch, small in stature, and constantly seeking retribution for what they called, "centuries of height discrimination."
To be fair, not one of them had sought employment in recorded leprechaun history, so it's hard to determine if "height discrimination" actually plagued their community. Still, they made do grabbing the occasional sheep or chicken that strayed too far from the group, prolifically reproducing like rabbits in the shamrock patch, and picking up loose change (kept in a community pot).
In truth, it's most likely their frustration came about from locals occasionally stumbling upon their change pots and stealing off with them. As the leprechauns saw it, 1845 was going to be their year.
Tuatha, or Tuty as he was known in the leprechaun community, had been head of the mischief committee for the past 300 years.
Short on ideas, and fearful of repetition, Tuty asked the advice of his old friend Clontarf, the amateur chemist and part-time hack wizard of the group. Clontarf had an idea. He'd been working on a potion that could be spread across the potato fields and would turn the crops sweet potato orange…a horrific notion since the town's reputation had been built on the classic Irish white potatoes everyone loved and celebrated.
Unfortunately, Clontarf's potion turned out to be a pathogenic water mould (later identified as Phytophthora infestans). Within months the mould had spread across Ireland, devastating potato crops. Within a year the Irish potato famine was on.
As Ireland reeled in devastation, the leprechauns hit the road. A simple prank could be forgiven; a 7 year famine tends to raise the bar of national frustration, and led to a banishment of all things imaginary in Ireland.
Being on an island, the road can only go so far. Soon, a little ship was built and the leprechauns set sail. The trade winds blew, the boat rocked, and a hundred years later land was spotted. As the ship washed up on shore the leprechauns knew they had found a new land indeed.
Large wheeled vehicles sped up and down the beach flying bright red flags of stars and bars. The music was loud, electric, and the tune was "Sweet Home Alabama." The new land was called Mobile.
For the leprechauns, life in Mobile has been filled with ups and downs. On the up side, the concern over height discrimination has taken a back seat to weight problems brought on by an new fried diet and the recent mullet fad. On the down side, change doesn't linger on the ground long enough to build up the community pot much. Still, life in the new world has been quiet, relatively uneventful, and relaxing. That is, until…

This Weekend on Coyote Radio
Once again, we're down at Studio A in The Raven Cafe building as part of DJ for a Day, the chance for ordinary Prescottonians to take over the airwaves and play their own tunes.
Here is a calendar of recording times.
While we are all absorbed in getting these fledgling DJ's on the air, we'll be playing a selection of tunes from our song library for folks listening in south Prescott over our experimental low power AM broadcast, AM1670 on your dial. Let us know when you hear us!

The Raven Crew - Back in Action!
Altitude: 27700 feet ... Temperature: -40 F ... Speed: Fast
At least, that's the information I'm able to put together as I start typing this e-mail. There's much to report, and much that will remain unreported (some things are best left behind borders).
It’s been a week since last our paths crossed…We know you missed us, and we missed you, but we got a lot of work done, and a little relaxin’ as well.
The first big steps have been taken toward the completion of the rooftop deck, and we are excited to be able to share the process with you as it happens. This past week accounted for a lot of the internal structural work, and the weeks to come will see a lot of external activity as work begins on the wave pool and zip line (this may or may not be true). Feel free to inquire along the way. It’s going to be a learning process forus all.
In the meantime, it’s back to business…
Monday: Pizza, Pitcher, and a Picture Night continues with an eclectic array of great pizzas and the beginning of 80's adventure month...Crocodile Dundee starring Paul Hogan who later went on to Subaru commercial fame. 8:30pm
Tuesday: Ben and Miguel are back in the kitchen for a Welcome Back Chef’s Choice Menu. Expect a variety of favorites prepared by the best in town. Music for the evening will be provided by the Prescott Playboys. Dinner and Dancing starts at 6pm.
Wednesday: It’s Burger Wednesday as we continue to show what it means to have the best burger in town. Then…it’s Verde Watershed Wednesday, an evening of art, music, and learning about The Verde Watershed Conservation group.
Thursday: We’ll be serving up Creole-Soul Fare,and setting the stage for a musical favorites return…From Austin, The Just Desserts are back and bringing a full band this time. Every show garners a bigger turnout and a better response. Come out and see what all the fuss is about. 8pm
Friday: Miguel’s cooking ribs…then…It’s a little Cabaret, it’s a little burlesque, it’s a little Billie Holiday dancing on Tom Waits' gramaphone player in a sepia toned New Orleans hotel room. It’s Vermillion Lies…7pm…Then it’s the festival launch jazz jam session for the Prescott Jazz Summit. Rumor has some of Duke Ellington’s Orchestra in town. We make no promises they will show up, but we’re working hard to get them here. 8pm
Saturday: Tapas, Raven Style, and Dennis Garvey and Remedy return for a night of southern-inspired swamp-blues boogie. Think the New Orleans Radiators meets Little Feat meets John Mooney. 8pm
Sunday: The Raven welcomes you to a beautiful brunch with music by a stripped-down version of The Just Desserts. This is a not to be missed opportunity to experience a beautiful brunch with these special musicians. Music starts at 10am.
Your album of the week: Duke Ellington “Ellington at Newport 1956.” The crowd literally went so crazy that Ellington had to leave the stage for a moment to let them calm down. It’s one of the few times you can hear jazz fans get as worked up as teenagers seeing Elvis or John Lennon for the first time.
Until Again,

This Weekend on Coyote Radio
Hey, you're on your own this weekend, kids! Since this is the start of our March project, "DJ for a Day," we're all down at The Raven Cafe hooking up Joe Prescott with a chance to try out being a real radio DJ for an hour.
So, while Parker and Wells and Monika are getting their groove on in Studio A, our transmission this weekend will be DJ work by DJ's who've already submitted their sets to KYXS, Coyote Radio. Enjoy!
