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
