Changes in the Air

We’re headed into May. Another crop of seniors prepares for graduation, and tourists, like turtles, are beginning to sun themselves on our lawn. At the Raven, we maintain a steady course, and plan another great week for you.

Monday: Pizza, Pitcher and a Picture night continues during our second week of Bike Month. This week’s movie, “American Flyers,” stars Kevin Costner. The absence of his Oscar nomination for this film is shameful when you see Kevin’s natural bike skills. 8pm



Tuesday: Ben is putting together a menu of his favorites. He’s never made anything that wasn’t one of my favorites, so I’m excited. Music will be performed by Paul Asaro, a ragtime style pianist, who is taking time from his tour with Leon Redbone to perform for us. 7pm

Wednesday: If you love burgers, Wednesday night is your night. Local band Shady Grass will be performing with Alaska’s own Matt Hopper . Matt is a returning favorite of ours, and a few special appearances are expected. 8pm

Thursday: From Minneapolis, The Chris Koza Band returns to the Raven. Chris’ performances are always exceptional, and his band is extraordinary. 8pm

Friday: Last time Fire Ridge Bluegrass played at the Raven I was out of town. I got so many e-mails, phone calls, and notes, that I’ve been working double time to get them back here. I definitely won’t miss this show. 8pm

Saturday: Tapas done Raven style. Music is TBA so I’ll let you know as soon as I get everything worked out.

Sunday: Don’t forget about brunch. Mimosa’s and pancakes sound like a good Sunday morning to me.

Your Album of the Week: Fred Neil was a legend of New York’s folk scene in the 1960’s. Bob Dylan cited him as a personal influence, and Bob’s got good taste. Check out his album “Bleecker and McDougal”.

Until Again
