Saturday, June 17th – Next Performance at Mercury Cafe (5:30-9pm, 6:30-8:30pm Performance; Bow Ties)

We’ll see everyone on Saturday, June 17th, by 5:30pm, at Mercury Cafe (2199 California St, Denver), for our 6:30-8:30pm performance. This will be Lena’s final Mercury Cafe Performance with our band, so let’s make it a great set! Please wear your bow tie band outfit, and bring dinner money, bass amp, brass mute & stand, reed stands, and drum set. Please be sure all 19 tunes are memorized for Saturday’s performance. We’ll be able to dismiss around 9pm, as usual.

Once again, the Mercury Cafe will be collecting the $10 per person cover charge, so each musician will get $8 of the cover, for every person they bring to the performance on Saturday night.
