Tuesday May 26
=95 8:30P High Strung Music's Old Time Jam w/ Aaron Greenhood
Old-time music is a form of North American folk music, with roots in
the folk musics of many countries, including England, Scotland,
Ireland and Africa. This musical form developed along with various
North American folk dances, such as square dance, buck dance, and
clogging. The genre also encompasses ballads and other types of folk
songs. It is played on acoustic instruments, generally centering on a
combination of fiddle and plucked string instruments (most often the
guitar and banjo).

Wednesday May 27
=95 8P Continuum Blues Jam
Come out to the Blues Jam every other Wednesday sponsored by Continuum
Consulting Services. Butch Haas will be facilitating this free-to-the-
public jam. So bring your gear, sign up for a time, and jam with some
of Durham=92s finest! Drums, keyboard, bass, guitar and harp amps
provided.

Thursday May 28
=95 8P Workbook (jazz w/ Brad Newell)
A jazz duo with a large repertoire of music ranging from laid back to
funky to standards. Thelonious Monk to Led Zeppelin.
=95 10P Pistil (pop punk/indie)
Pistil is a fun, punk-inspired trio of Megan Dawson, Anne Starling,
and Ian the Terrible. They like to call themselves "indie pop punk"
but in practice, you'll hear great rock n roll informed by punk, pop,
and blues.
Megan's got a drop dead bluesy voice, little Anne plays a mean
guitar with a big sound, and Ian keeps the beat, with occasional
singing and acoustic guitar. Their songs cover heartbreak, love, and
politics with a feminist bent. Pistil has a fresh, unique sound that
you're sure to get hooked on. Go ahead. Just try not to.
Formed in mid 2007 as an all female group (now just mostly female),
Pistil aimed mainly to promote fun feminist ideals and wear costumes--
not necessarily in that order.

Friday May 29
=95 8P Andrew Marlin (acoustic/folk/indie)
=95 10P PM Bulldozer (blues/rock/classic rock)
P.M.Bulldozer is the coming together of three talented musicians named
Pat, Ken and Post. My name is Pat Madison (hence the P.M.) and I play
guitar, sing and write the songs. Instead of going through standard
cliche bio descriptions I'll just say we are all experienced musicians
who have been on the triangle music scene for some time. The music
drifts easily from thundering rock and roll riffage to melodic hooks
to nasty blues to sublime improvisation.

Saturday May 30
=95 10P Pagan Hellcats (alt/country/americana)
"...this quartet relies on the basics - well-written songs, beguiling,
hook-laden arrangements and fine vocals. Guitarists Dave Rutter and
Diane Rodelli trade songs and lead vocals, harmonizing over Americana
that ranges from folk-blues to ragged barroom rock....songcraft more
enduring than colorful dress-up." - Chris Parker/The Independent

Sunday May 31
=95 7P Aaron Mills Project - Sunday Night Jazz
Starting at 7, Open Jam at 9
If you are in any way a fan of jazz, this is not to be missed !!!
Aaron Mills, best known as the audacious bassist of classic funk act
Cameo, has inspired a generation of groovy musicians, but his long
time love affair with jazz has inspired The Aaron Mills Project.
Aaron has been playing at the Cafe for a few months now, along with
Wayne Kee, Bobby Hinton, Warren Fraizer and others. Aaron has brought
Sunday night jazz back to the Cafe in a format that includes a cast of
regulars as well as featured guest musicians every week. Towards the
end of the evening, the night becomes an open jam, so, if anyone wants
to come blow their horn....
