Wednesday Mar 11
=95 7P Open Mic Night
Open Mic is arranged to enable anyone to perform, so all you have to
do is turn up early and get your name down to perform. Originals and
cover music of every style and genre are welcome! Open mic is a great
way to practice your art and can also can be a proving ground for new
talent and material. The audience consists of singers, poets,
songwriters and music lovers so the atmosphere should be warm and
encouraging for everybody.

=95 7:30P Lucy Wainwright Roche
Lucy Wainwright Roche grew up in Greenwich Village, New York City. She
is the daughter of two performing musicians, Loudon Wainwright and
Suzzy Roche (The Roches). After singing backup with her brother, Rufus
Wainwright, over the years 2005 & 2006, she decided to take some time
off from the classroom to explore her life long relationship to
singing and song writing. Described by the New York Times as having
the best qualities of both her parents and a voice =93clear as a bell=94,
Lucy is a refreshing, pure, alternative to the jive pop culture. She
is alarmingly straightforward and unadorned. A young singer just
beginning to find her own point of view from a unique perspective. In
the past year Lucy has toured the US doing solo shows and opening for
many different musicians from Dar Williams to her brother Rufus. She
ended 2007 with a special sold out birthday celebration at Joe's Pub
in her hometown of NYC. In 2007 Lucy released her first recording, and
EP entitled "8 Songs". In the spring of 2008 she will released her
second EP, "8 More". She says, =93A person can inherit their family's
name and a person can inherit their family's stories but experience is
something everyone aquires themselves. That's what I'm thinking about
as I'm starting to perform on my own.=94 "Sincere and raw, at times
recalling Joni Mitchell and Patty Griffin, Roche's bittersweet voice
leaps out; she paints an indelible image..." NPR's Song of the Day
=95 10P Pure Fiyah (reggae) - $5 cover
Our music is the sounds of the system, the good, the bad and the
oppressed ones. We feel its our god given right to express our
feelings through the music. In these times the youth are the ones that
need our help. There are so many of them that have gone astray. So
help us to help them.

Friday Mar 13
=95 8P The Pratie Heads (folk/acoustic /roots)
Bob Vasile and Jane Peppler, as the Pratie Heads, play and sing
Irish, Scottish, English, and Early American music. They call their
repertoire "More or Less Traditional Music of the British Isles." They
concentrate on British Isles, Celtic, and Colonial American songs and
tunes, but also play original material, a few pieces from Sweden,
Finland, Holland, Bulgaria, Jewish traditions, and other foreign
parts.
The Praties, members of the NC Arts Council Touring Program, have
performed at the Smithsonian Institution, Voice of America, the Diane
Rehm Show, and on NPR. Dirty Linen magazine: "The Pratie Heads...have
made some of the best Celtic, English, and early American folk music
available in recorded form. They have picked beautiful, uncommon songs
to play, have thoroughly researched tunes and texts to produce the
best possible versions, and have lovingly and impeccably arranged
them. And it still emerges as spontaneious, joyful music - it's a rare
gift they have."
=95 10P Bobby Hinton and Stan Hoffman
For more than 38 years Bobby Hinton has entertained audiences all over
the world. As a member of the U.S. Army USO Show, he traveled for
more than 20 years providing polished professional entertainment for a
broad range of audiences. In 1970, he was selected to entertain the
troops in the Far East - including Vietnam. He is a down home singer
and keyboard player. When he stirs his pot of Blues, Rock & Roll,
R&B, with a heaping of country rock, the audience is in for a musical
treat.

Saturday Mar 14
=95 8:30P Rootsie (jazz/blues/reggae)
Rootzie is the brainchild of singer/songwriter/guitarist/bassist/
percussionist/ Gregory Blaine. Gregory has been playing and singing
for some 40 years in bands up and down the eastern seaboard. Rootzie
came about slowly adding one piece at a time finally jelling into a
rock'n funky good sound. The musical selections come from the vast
works of music Gregory was exposed to in his life: Gospel, Country,
Reggae, Blues, Funk, Jazz and even as of late, Bluegrass.
=95 11P Blue Marble Beat (pop/reggae/soul)
"All we are saying is, shut up and dance!" Blue Marble Beat defines
the genre of Psychetronic Dub & Soul. The band takes on a mass, a
gravity greater than the sum of its parts. The music is more than
merely an auditory experience.

Sunday Mar 15
=95 7P Jazz Jam at The Broad St. Cafe w/ Aaron Mills
As the audacious bassist of classic funk act Cameo, Aaron Mills has
inspired a generation of groovy musicians - some of whom he now works
with (OutKast, Gwen Stafani, Cee-Lo). Aaron has been playing at the
Cafe for a few months now along with Wayne Kee, Bobby Hinton, and
others. Aaron is bringing Sunday jazz back to the Cafe in a format
that includes a cast of regulars as well as featured guest musicians
every week. If you are in any way a fan of jazz, this is not to be
missed.
