                                                          RONNIE BAKER BROOKS

                                                                       SAT,   AUG 13    8PM
                                                                                        $30

                                                     With Ronnie Baker Brooks and Coco Montoya sharing the
                                                   stage, it’s going to be a night packed with profound blues and
                                                                                hard-rocking good times.

                                                          Between his white-hot guitar playing and his soulful,
                                                       emotional vocals, Coco Montoya has talent to burn. In a
                                                         career that spans almost four decades, he’s gone from
                                                     drumming for blues icon Albert Collins to holding the lead
                                                   guitar spot in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers to leading his own
                                                                             band and touring worldwide.
          On the first day recording Times Have Changed – the eleven-track album from Chicago bluesman Ronnie Baker
           Brooks that brings a sound so big it could topple a Louisiana juke joint – industry-revered album producer and
           drummer Steve Jordan told Brooks to put his pedal board back in the van. For the first time in his professional
              life, Brooks, the son of Texas and Chicago blues legend Lonnie “Guitar Jr.” Brooks, would plug a Gibson into
                                                                    TKTK amp and rip it straight from there



               AN EVENING WITH KAT WRIGHT
               FRI, AUG 19    8PM
               $26

         Kat Wright, Bob Wagner (guitar) and Josh Weinstein (bass) lean
         into their trio formation, showcasing their folky / rootsy selves, all
         stripped down, a triangulation of their strengths, their bareness,
         their imperfect humanness, their voices, their ferocious
         tenderness, their love of songs and singing and story.

                                                                   CHRISTINE HURLEY
                                                                       SAT,   AUG 20    8PM
                                                                                        $25
                                              Featuring Pete Costello & Dave Russo. Christine Hurley loves what
                                            she does…making people laugh! Married to Jimmy Hurley and having
                                                      five kids, Christine is never at a loss for comedic material.
                                            Like any great comedian, Christine has an innate ability to see humor
                                           in “everyday” situations. For years, she entertained family, friends and
                                            neighbors in their kitchens, at barbeques and the grocery store aisles.
                                                  The only difference now is she uses a microphone and a stage.
