Like the 8lb. 6oz. baby girl the band is named after, Violet Mary is always exciting and full of surprises. Violet Mary is unique in their ability to blend '70s influenced blues-rock and funky pop hooks and etherial textures to create a captivating sound all its own. Coupled with engaging lyrics depicting deeply personal stories of faith both in triumph and struggle, philosophical debate, and social commentary, Violet Mary appeals to audiences young and old, faith-based or not. Violet Mary's influences range from Led Zeppelin to U2, Norah Jones to Susan Tedeschi, John Mayer to Radiohead... all with a decidedly 21st century spin. Violet Mary's first full length release is marked for a Fall 2008 release on Belly Of The Whale Music. The ambitious record titled "Marionette" sets a high bar for independent releases, taking listeners on a musical journey from straight ahead pop-rock in Black Stones and Johnny Beats Me Every Time to musically dramatic and lyrically complex in Trigger Happy and Release. www.violetmary.com FROTH - 11PM Froth is a 3-man, original rock formation with roots in old school blues, jazz, jam and alt country.

Tue Apr 6	OPEN MIC NIGHT!!! around 8:30pm Come share your music at what has been described by many as the hottest open mic night in town! Each performer is allowed either 2 or 3 songs (determined at the beginning of the night by how many performers are signed up). Performers that don't use "songs" (comedians, poets, improvisational music, etc) are allowed ten minutes for their set. Sign up sheet is made available twenty minutes before open mic begins, and order is determined on a first come/first serve basis. 1st spot gets an extra song! WE PROVIDE: The PA system (mics, speakers, etc), guitar cables, a baby grand piano, a host/sound engineer. Many times there are musicians hanging around to play if you are a singer without an accompanist! WE DON'T PROVIDE: Drums, guitar/bass amps, guitars. Unless you are a singer or pianist, bring your own instruments! Although the majority of our performances are on acoustic guitar/piano, we do allow full bands as long as the musicians are respectful of others time and space. If you are a drummer, it is suggested that you bring in your drums before open mic begins (8:30ish) and set them up off to the side as to make for a speedy transition and not disrupt others' performances. Live music begins around 8:30pm and goes until the night dies down (usually 11:30-12ish). Any other questions can be emailed to the show's host Willy O'Riley at willyoriley@lovincup.com.
