Spring is here and King Bee is in the House!


It’s“International Beautiful Weather Week” unless of course you live in Greenland, in which case you are set for another 12 months of cold weather. Around here, it really couldn’t be much nicer and we couldn’t be more thankful. Therefore, we celebrate.

Monday: It’s Pizza, Pitcher and a Picture night with great prices on the best pizzas, pitchers of beer or water, and “Weird Science” starring Anthony Michael Hall and someone else. It’s about every young man’s fantasy and how those fantasies sometimes run amok…8pm



Tuesday: Ben and Miguel are planning a special“New York Deli” menu…Reuben, Cheese Steak, Eggplant Parm and a bunch of other goodies. Jonathon Best will be looping again…If you haven’t seen one of these performances…Well, you just haven’t lived yet. 7pm

Wednesday: It’s burger night and Verde Watershed Wednesday. Think education meets performance art, and it’s all for a good cause. 7pm

Thursday: Erin Weaver is an amazingly talented singer-songwriter who once resided here in Prescott. She is making her first return appearance in several years with her sister. They are songbirds in the purest sense of the word. 8pm

Friday: Legendary and bordering on Mythological…King Bee and The Snappin’ Turtles will return for a rare performance. Starring Ben Dickey of Blood Feathers, and Newt Lynn and Adam Schrader of Dance, Old Scarecrow. They will be joined by special guest Quinten Stoltzfus from Philadelphia. Quinten has worked with Mazarin, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah,The Walkmen, Apollo Sunshine, Black Stoltzfus and a host of others. This will be a big night of moving and shaking. 8pm

Saturday: A Raven favorite, Dustin Hamman returns from Portland, Oregon. He’s ten instruments in one, sounds like a Colorado summer afternoon, and is impossible to ignore. 8pm

Sunday: Every Sunday Morning we serve up the best Brunch in Town with a solid offering of favorites and an ever-rotating menu of specials. Jonathon Best will be playing the old upright starting at 10am.

Your Album of the Week: Terry Allen started out as a conceptual artist from Lubbock, Texas in the 1970’s. His first album, Juarez, was made as a soundtrack to an art instillation. Demand for copies of the album were so high that he immediately became an underground country cult phenomena. His second album, Lubbock (one very thing), is nothing short of a work of genius, and has been called by many songwriters, “The best country album of all time.” I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it’s definitely in the top 5.

Until Again
