This past weekend was filled with all sorts of excitement: Tsunami on the Square, the approximate incineration of the building, etc... Still, as said Twain, "The reports of our demise have been greatly exaggerated." It's business as usual at 142 N. Cortez...We'll just be keeping a closer watch on the voltage meter.
Monday: Pizza, Pitcher and a Picture Night continues with Cody's divine culinary creations and my favorite film of the 1980's next to "Raiders of the Lost Ark"....."Airplane." This film is a masterpiece of politically incorrect humor and divinely inspired one-liners. 8:30pm
Tuesday: Dinner and Dancing with the Prescott Playboys. Put on your fanciest boots, your tallest hat, and your denimest denim. Tony will be putting together a menu of home-style country cookin'. Music starts at 7pm.
Wednesday: From Akron, Ohio...Patrick Sweany makes his first appearance at the Raven. Patrick grew up with The Black Keys, has played with the Black Keys, and his newest album was produced by the Black Keys. Would it be surprising if I told you he sounds a lot like the Black Keys? Haven't heard of the Black Keys...? Imagine a bluesier version of The White Stripes. 8pm
Thursday: Our Jazz Jam Session has been building steam over the last two months, and we couldn't be more excited. This is our goal...to provide a venue where the youngest jazz musicians in town get the opportunity to play with the most seasoned. If you love great improvised jazz music, this is your night. 8pm
Friday: It's that time again...Fire Ridge Bluegrass is back in town for a night of finger smokin' pickin' and grinnin'. Every time these guys play they pack the house. 8pm
Saturday: The Jacob Koller Jazz Band has been making waves in Phoenix for some time. They will be making their first appearance in Prescott at the Raven on Saturday night. Jazz lovers, this is a great band, and a great opportunity to help spread the word about the growing jazz scene in our community. 8pm
Sunday: Jonathon Best on the old-upright. An amazing brunch menu. Summer inspired mimosas. Need I say more?
Your Album of the Week: I'm thinking "Moby Grape" by Moby Grape. This is the debut album by the greatest band of the 1960's that you've probably never heard of. Think a bluesier version of "Working Man's Dead". It's good for the season.
Until Again
Raven
