Saturday, March 29

Doors/bar/food from 6:30pm. First set 7:30pm.

Haunting lyricism...soulful, dynamic guitar...

Back by popular demand, Paul Curreri returns to the Hamner Cabaret, with his soulful tunes and bitingly intelligent lyrics. He is known for his inspired songs, bright voice, and talented fingerstyle playing. He performed every instrument & every vocal on his latest release The Velvet Rut.

Listen to Paul Curreri on myspace
or read about him in the wikipedia.

Read about Paul Curreri (and wife Devon Sproule)

He’s pulling inspiration from America, twentieth century folk and bluegrass weaving in and out. It’s been characterized as “country-folk” but has everything from Lou Reed to Mojo Nixon, all combined into some funky blues that would make even Tom Waits’ mouth water.(Jessica Star Rockers, on seattle.net)

Saturday, February 10 TigerLily

If for some reason you don't have plans for this Saturday night, come to Cabaret #11 - Las Gitanas . This band of four women plays original music inspired and influenced by the traditions of Old-Time Appalachian, Hungarian,French, Cajun...in short, "Gypsy-lachian!"
Visit their myspace page

And if the music isn't tempting enough, consider the fare...polenta canapes with blue cheese and Pomegranate caviar...smoked salmon mousse on garlic shortbreads...chocolate hazelnut cheesecake bars...and more...
