Sugar Shack, by Ernie Barnes

…..Saturday, June 21st, 5-6pm: Art Goodtimes, American poet, farmer and Colorado politician, celebrates his 80th birthday with a reading. No charge; just good will and high spirits.

 

…..Saturday, June 21st, 7:30-9:30pm: The Jinx Jones Trio. Jinx plays a lot of guitar! He’s a rockabilly guy, Colorado born, and a keen aficionado of soulful jazz virtuosos from Charlie Christian to Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel to Grant Green, whose solid trio relies on the double KO talents of Kenan O’Brien and Ken Owen. You’ll be charmed and mesmerized and more than a little delighted. $20, byob.

 

…..Sunday, June 22nd, 5-6pm: Julie Rogers, Sarah Menefee, Lisbet Bailey, Cathleen Williams – four revolutionary-sassy-sage-activist-service-blessed poets, goils who’ve been around the block and back, who meet to write on a regular basis and will finally meet to read, rant, chant, weep & laugh with you. No charge, donations welcome. Books will be available.

…..and finally, Sunday, June 22nd from 7-9pm, the seventh show in four days, the Autonomous Region, house band of the Club Mandalay at the I-Hotel Manilatown Center, led by singer and writer Caroline Cabading, with Raymond Bambao on bass, Harold Ohashi on drums, Chris Planas on guitar, Roy Brown on piano.

Autonomous Region plumbs the jazz, blues and
kulintang soul of Filipino culture in America.
