Thursday, May 15th Features Steven Bates!-6 Pm-No Cover
Tonight is a solo performance with Steven Bates, a California musician who grew up in Fort Bragg. He started playing music and school dances by the age of thirteen. After graduating, he set off to southern California and has played all over the area with different bands and individuals. Knowing that the song is the currency he has written numerous songs always with an eye on getting people out there to dance. When playing with his band, there's a revolving line up that includes players with Van Morrison, Sons of Champlin, the Byrds and others, dishing out original guitar driven music. When he plays acoustic he delivers a fast paced strumming technique that has a rock and roll vibe unto itself. His determination to always leave audiences with something memorable is a good reason to catch this performer. Visit www.myspace.com/stevenbatesmusician or http://stevenbatesmusic.com/
Friday, May 16th-marks the debut of Horses Heaven!-9 PM-$10. Cover
Horses Heaven is music that tells a traveling love story, by a seven piece band. It is a melodic description of time spent together and a documentation of adventures that inspire by taking the listener on a sweet, soulful, and honest journey. Bijou Choder and Analise Lofaro mix their words and voices to create a story that is not only heard but also felt.
In the early days of their romance, the couple began writing music together. This connection grew into a deep love and subsequently, Horses Heaven. Both having an extensive and unique background in entertainment, they inspired each other to create a new sound and begin a fresh chapter in their musical endeavors.
The couple took their sound to the studio and gave it life, building around simple songs written on either guitar, piano, or ukelele. Then they gave the songs "studio treatment" with horns, synths, and whatever else walked in that day.
In the lush wilderness of Vermont, there sits an enchanting place called Horses Heaven, which is a deep emerald swimming hole nestled between two towering boulders and found far from town. While visiting this majestic location one humid summer afternoon, Bijou and Analise were inspired to write their song "Vermont" as well as adopt the name of the swimming hole for their collaborations.
