4:46…Sunday…87 degrees…there is a small child eating weather stripping off the corner of the house. The cat sits by, lazily eyeing the child and wondering, “How is it that I’m smarter than this critter?” There is no answer to that question.
We’ve not yet come to the understanding of the age at which our intelligence supercedes that of other mammals…or if we ever reach that point. Still, we have wonderfully organized meeting places like the Raven, so that gives us some kind of leg up.
Monday: Pizza, Pitcher and a Picture night continues with “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.” You remember the film…Keanu Reeves and another guy travel through time in a phone booth. The adventure that ensues…priceless. 8pm
Tuesday: Tony Burris is back as our kitchen manager.
We’ve loved having Ben, but he’s moving back east to pursue music. If you’ve seen him play, you know it’s what he should be doing. In the meantime, we’ll have Tony and Ben working together for a few weeks. What this means for you…good food. This week, Chef’s Choice.
Wednesday: Burger Night, and …From Salt Lake City…Band of Annuals return to the Raven with Golden Boots from Tucson. Classic Alt-Country with a sandy twist. 8pm
Thursday: From Philadelphia…The Asteroid #4 and From Los Angeles…The Quarter After. Last time the Asteroid #4 played we had so many people say it was their favorite show they had seen, we immediately set to work on getting them back…your demands have been met. Imagine Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd meets the Byrds. 8pm
Friday: Laura Gibson has been a dear friend of ours since she first began touring the Southwest. Now, 2 years later, she’s been featured in the New York Times, on NPR (several times), and has just finished touring with Colin Meloy of The Decemberists. She is definitely the next big thing on the folk music circuit. Ben Dickey and Drew Mills will be opening the show with an intimate performance of Blood Feathers music. 8pm
Saturday: King Bee and The Snappin’ Turtles make their final appearance at The Raven Café. This almost legendary band has developed a cult following amongst those who love to move their body parts in rhythmic ways. It’s a little bit blues, a little bit rock-n-roll, and a whole lotta goodness. 8pm
Sunday: Brunch with Dave Manning…Alaska’s Piano Man, and an amazing performer. 10am
Your Album of the Week: “The Land Where The Blues Began”…It’s part of the Alan Lomax Collection. If you are looking for a great launching point for your understanding Blues Music…this is it.
Until Again
Raven
