Music Night is happening this Thursday, May 14 at the Javalounge! Bring your friends and instruments over to 1624 16th Street, between Broadway and X for an acoustic bluegrass/country/folk jam. We'll play from 7-10 p.m. Drink discounts for all participants! RSVPs appreciated.

The following evening, on May 15, regional music legend and hero Keith Cary will be joining up with some friends for an old-timey show at Javalounge - it's officially a "ragtime/old blues/jug band trio". The show starts at 8, admission is $6.

Also this weekend, on Saturday night, Mandolin Avenue will perform at the Fox & Goose. I haven't heard this band, but am familiar with some of its players (Ricky Berger, Ken Burnett) and they are extremely talented. The band has been described as a “a floating circus of pickers”. Cover is $5. The band also performs a free happy hour gig this Wednesday evening at Pyramid Brewing downtown, from 6-8 p.m. Mention you're there for the music and get 30 percent off dinner! More details about the band are at http://www.mandolinavenue.com/.

Hope to jam with you soon!
