	Happy Hour Music with THE POSSUM FAMILY	May 25, 2013 4:00-6:30pm
	Happy Hour Music with About the Possum Family Singers (http://possumfamilysingers.wordpress.com) With Celu as “Fluffy” , Steve and Laurie started out in summer of 2009 as the Silver Kittens (because we were old and cute) out of “Celu and Friends” playing weekly at Chester’s Bayview Cafe, adding Matt and Ann along the way. Each of us had Kitten names–Scruffy, Possum, Fritz and Muffy (and Gail–Dash!) Steve, Laurie and Matt had been playing with the Cavepainters at the Starry Plough, Berkeley on Thursdays for about four years, when Steve was invited to take on the Saturday happy hour. In November of 2009 Celu split off with the “Friends,” and also began booking Chester’s four nights per week, of which we took one Thursday each month. Meanwhile, we needed another animal to name ourselves after, and the Possum Family was born. The band is: Ann Wright – Cello, Banjo, Guitar, and Vocals Laurie Miller – Martin Bass, PJB, ZT Acoustic, and Vocals Steve Soliah – Guitar and Vocals Matt Parker – Mandolin, Guitar, Audio Devices, and Vocals **“Laurie Miller sings a country ballad better ‘n anybody. Her voice is right up there with Hank Williams” – Jean Hooker 4:00-6:30pm // Free // All-Ages** Click for details

	STARRY PLOUGH OPEN MIC, Hosted by Joan Pez. New Music, All Genres Welcome, Trivia Fun!	May 28, 2013 Sign Up at 7:30pm
	STARRY PLOUGH OPEN MIC, Hosted by Joan Pez. New Music, All Genres Welcome, Trivia Fun! Starry Plough Open Mic with Joan Pez Sign Up at 7:30pm Free A new featured artist every week "The Starry Plough has welcomed Tuesday open mic crowds for 13 years as of 2011. One of the most characteristically 'bay area' of all the open mics, in 1996 The Plough earned the prestigious title,'the best open mic in the bay area' and has been keeping the fires lit ever since. There is a feature at 10.30pm who plays for 20 mins - the feature is often the performer with the best crowd response from the previous week. There is trivia to win a free beer (free beer!) between acts for correct or humorous answers. Very popular and welcoming, this playful open mic is not for the faint of heart or short of patience. In the 90's I used to head down to the Plough every Tuesday. It remains one of the most eclectic and enthusiastic open mic experiences in the bay area. 2007 was the 35th anniversary of The Plough and the 7th of which Joan Pez has been at the helm of the open mic night. The pub has just finishing renovations and the Irish republican decorations are back up on the walls!" BayAreaOpenMics.com Click for details
