WEDNESDAY, MAY 14
A special evening of mystical folk music, featuring FERN KNIGHT, EX REVERIE, IN GOWAN RING, AH HOLLY FAM'LY —9pm, $7.00 advance

Fern Knight is the brainchild of Philly based singer, songwriter, guitarist, cellist Margaret Wienk, who with her album Music For Witches and Alchemists, has crafted a darkly dramatic gem of moody mournful melancholia. Equal parts Pentangle, Incredible String Band, and of course some of her more modern sonic compatriots, Brightblack, Vetiver, Espers (Greg Weeks and Meg Baird both play on Music For Witches and Alchemists) and the like, Fern Knight is most definitely modern folk, but at the same time sounds so classic, the songwriting, Wienk's voice, the arrangements, a perfect combination. But the band manage to take that classic sound and infuse it with some sweet sonic mystery, due in no small part to the unlikely instrumentation, the sweet moaning cellos, dreamy swaths of harp, alien melodies on the singing saw, the twang of the Jew's harp, the wheezing harmonium, but unlike most bands, those sounds don't define Fern Knight's sound, merely add to the texture and mood of the music, which even stripped to its bare basics would still sound as sweet.

FRIDAY, MAY 23
FREE FRIDAY! with STRANGERS DIE EVERYDAY, SATURNA, IMAGINARY AIRSHIP —9pm, FREE!

Equal parts Bernard Herrmann, John Zorn and Jim O'Rourke, Strangers Die Every Day makes cinematic, esoteric chamber punk that never forgets to rock. Bassist Stirling Myles and drummer Lawrence Armstrong thunder away like an indie-rock rhythm section that fell into the orchestra pit, while violinist Scott Wilkinson and cellist Jessie Dettwiler shred their instruments of choice with avant abandon. Whereas Louisville sluggers such as Slint, Rodan and especially Rachel's blazed the trail, this intrepid quartet wanders giddily off course, indulging in dissonant, cathartic and downright spooky reveries that would make Stravinsky smile. Still, there's just enough straightforward rock sensibility preserved to make the most classical-phobic scenester nod along.

Someday Speakeasy, Sunday Jazz Live Jazz with DAVID ORNETTE CHERRY —7pm, $5.00 at the door

David Ornette Cherry, winner of the "2003 ASCAP-CHAMBER MUSIC AMERICA Award for Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music", is composer, arranger, and band leader .

David was born the same year Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry recorded their first album, SOMETHIN ELSE. The ambient music streaming through his childhood was generated by the early collaborations of his dad, Don Cherry, with Coleman and the musicians who visited his parents' Mariposa Avenue home in Los Angeles.

His background includes performances with Don Cherry, Ed Blackwell, Charlie Haden, Billy Higgins, Nana Vasconcelos, Olatunji, Hassan Hakmoun, Carlos Ward, Jim Pepper, Collin Walcott, Wadada Leo Smith, Phil Ranelin, Ralph "Buzzy" Jones and Justo Almario.

He sees himself crossing borders drawing from the past - building a passageway to jazz of the future. David states, "The music never stopped. Jazz is dynamic. It is a continuum that expands and takes from the players and composers so they can add their little something to the art. It's not about JUST referencing the past. It's about keeping the momentum going like a ball that keeps rolling along."

TUESDAY, MAY 27

CLASSICAL REVOLUTION —8pm, FREE!

We love classical music. We love playing classical music. We love listening to classical music. We are tired of the elitist and inaccessible nature of the classical world. We believe that there are many that would enjoy classical music if they could access it in a setting that is comfortable for them. We believe classical musicians should be allowed to perform in a setting that is more casual - where the audience is allowed to have a drink, eat a scone, laugh a little, and clap a lot. We believe everyone can enjoy the music that we love.

STOLEN SWEETS, BLUE 4 TRIO —9pm, $10.00 at the door

The Stolen Sweets formed in 2005 with the intention of reviving the songs of 1930s sister act, The Boswell Sisters, whose deco-era music provided radio listeners a ray of hope during a truly dispiriting economic depression. Comprised of vocalists Jen Bernard, Lara Michell and Erin Sutherland, guitarists Pete Krebs and David Langenes (both of whom sing) and double bass player Keith Brush, The Sweets' repertoire has expanded to include material from the 1920s -1940s. Their arrangements are still inspired by the Boswells' tight 3-part harmonies, frequent tempo changes and "knowing shrugs and raised eyebrows," but also incorporate gypsy jazz manouche accompaniment, reminiscent of Django Reinhardt. The Sweets' recent exploits have included a headline performance at the "Boswell Centennial Celebration" in New Orleans, an exciting 6-country European tour and the honor of winning "Best of Art Beat" on National Public Television. Come see why people of all ages are flocking to see them light up a room with their vintage sound!

Blue 4 Trio performs music that swings. Nat "King" Cole Trio meets the Mills Brothers. Fats Waller meets Fats Domino. Slim Galliard meets Fred Astaire. It's music from the '20s to the '60s, all happening at the same time, woven into a seamless, beautiful whole. At the core of this group's sound are the band's sometimes sweet, sometimes rough-hewn three-part harmony vocals and a piano-ukulele-bass-and-drums rhythm section that swings along in a variety of textures. Their debut recording as a group, "Casey MacGill's Blue 4 Trio", features 10 trio tracks and 2 quartet tracks. Says Casey: "My other projects were like oil paintings, constantly being tweaked and refined. The Blue 4 Trio CD is my watercolor, I put the paint on and what you get is what you get." The result is soft, loud, happy, sad, raw, mellow, with an honest mistake or two thrown in for good measure. It is a real band playing real music.

STYROFOAM, BROKEN SPINDLES —8pm, $8.00 advance
$10.00 at the door

Styrofoam says about themselves, "I basically wanted to make an up tempo pop album with big choruses to sing along to. I sort of figured I'd made enough sulky mid tempo music for the rest of my life . . . I'm very interested in presenting all these weird sounds, bleeps etc. in a package that is quite accessible overall. But when you listen a little deeper, there is still a lot there to discover...and every second's worth a thousand words."

GRAVES, S. BROOKS OF MINMAE —9pm, $5.00 at the door

"At the expense of using a tautology, it just is what it is. Certain French anthropologists would call it sui-generis, others would say we're using that term too generously. In any event, ours are a series of events; events that find us playing guitar, bass and drums rock music, sometimes sensitively, sometimes with a boogie, other times with a strut. We're also fine with the term "indie-rock." We're all young, rugged individuals who like to rock."-Minmae
