SINGO — everyone's new favorite national drinking pastime and that's all the new rage — is back again on Tuesday, February 20th from 6:00pm - 8:00pm. Go ahead and mark every Tuesday in your calendar as Singo night! It's just as simple as it sounds: music bingo. Instead of listening for numbers, you're listening to your favorite tunes! There's only one rule for playing this game: HAVE FUN!
The powerful blues duo Blues Meets Girl returns for Singer Songwriter Night on Thursday, February 22nd from 6:00pm - 9:00pm. Comprised of London born British blues veteran Mr. Downchild and southern born American singer songwriter Kasimira, they bring a smokin' sexy collaboration laced with infectious energy. Their sound is primarily blues influenced, but you'll also hear threads of roots, rock, folk, and jazz. Mr. Downchild's masterful guitar and harmonica coupled with Kasimira's three plus octave vocal range creates dynamic, ethereal melodies that're absolutely entrancing.
Flapping in for their monthly residency, the Flying Fish land on the AYC stage in rare trio pattern Friday, February 23rd from 6:00pm - 9:00pm. Bring a smile and your dancing shoes for the special show these local tie-dyed, guitar slangin', harmonica blowin' have in store. We'll be honoring the life and spirit of our dear friend, John Hutchinson, and there's no better way to do that than celebrating him with a wild evening soundtracked by one of his all time favorite bands.
