STEVE2.NET

Thanks again to Alan Semerdjian and his piano playing associate Matt Iselin from the Big Apple for bringing really great music into the cafe last week - hope to see and hear you guys sometime in the not-too-distant-future! Allan's music page is packed with great tunes - take a lil' side trip over there for some MP3 listening.

The September Music Calendar is posted up for the Arabica U Circle - click the little blue link from the home page of Steve2.Net for the advanced scoop (at the time I wrote this the schedule wasn't even up at the cafe yet)

Mirandas Moon guitar player Ryan Smith is having his birthday party September 10th at the Peabodies Downunder - or maybe the Pirates Cove - one of those rooms (I think he told me they were playing in the big room) and it ought to be a pretty good party with those guys, check the web page out if you want to hear some tunes.

Kate Morrissey is visiting the Arabica U Circle on Saturday September 11 and will play an evening of piano and voice music - I have not heard Kate 'live' yet have only had the pleasure of speaking with her on the phone (she has a pretty sweet 'phone voice' as well) and hearing the clips of music that she has posted to her website - she has a lovely, rich and fine voice talent that is immediately accessible and appreciable so c'mon out yer hive and listen to an artist who does not get into Cleveland very often (even if she only lives in PA).

Jim Snively continues his Monday Night Open Mic series at McNamara's (on the Near West Side - the address is in this blog here somewhere) and from what I understand it continues to go strong with lots of talent turning out to make the jam up every Monday - so if your looking to play get there early. Jim has started another Open Mic recently this one at Dempsies in Tremont (W14th & Starkweather) on Saturday night. I have not been getting out to as many Open Mic nights this month as I have been busy with my home life, the Arabica, and my work schedule. If you really want to party an Open Mic night with me, the one and only Steve2.Net, then you pretty much got to come out to my mic on Wednesday.

Songsmith Jim Snively Thursday September 9 at Arabica U Circle
Jim will coax sweet woodsy acoustic guitar tones from his 60’s Martin guitar while singing original songs with a mellow edged voice that will appeal to a wide audience of listeners.

More later....gotta get out of here (my workplace -whew its been a looong week).
