Natasha's Bistro Event Calendar

Monday 03/15/10 - Sunday 03/21/10

Monday Mar 15th @ 6pm Tagawa at Natasha's: Jazz Piano and Vibraphon solo
	Join us for the smooth sounds of Jazz Pianist and composer Kokichi Tagawa. A night with Ko Tagawa...seems at first, like a traditional night of Jazz, of beautiful standards, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern... soft...evocative...a gentle Journey back to a simpler time... But, when he starts to close his eyes, the transformation begins, and you realize that subtly, so subtly that the terrain has changed, that the melody with all its familiarity is gone, and the gentle pianist has taken you to a place you've never been. He has, once again, drawn you in - and Its no longer Porter or Kern, but Tagawa - unleashed - www.myspace.com/kou61jazz Donations accepted.
	Free Admission

Monday Mar 15th @ 9pm Between Clark & Hilldale
	Between Clark & Hilldale is a sixties folk-psychedelic cover band, performing songs by Love, The Byrds, Moby Grape, Donovan, and many others. The band was formed in July 2007 when four friends decided to get together and play some of the sixties music we all love. Close your eyes and you will be transported back to 1968 at the Whiskey a Go Go on the Sunset Strip. Listen Now.

Tuesday Mar 16th @ 9pm Goodbye Congregation
	Goodbye Congregation just sounds like Eastern Kentucky; the sounds of holler poets picking banjos on the front porch mixed eloquently with the thunderous boom of an IROC-Z blasting Led Zepplin while they kick up dust on ragged gravel roads. Bobby Harris is the primary songwriter for the band. His lyrics and music are directly influenced by the sounds and folk art he was raised around and by the Rock'N'Roll he would discover later in life. Goodbye Congregation perform energetic Appalachia informed Indie Folk Rock, that has been likened to that of Neil Young and Crazy Horse on several occasions. www.myspace.com/goodbyecongregation

Saturday Mar 20th @ 9pm The City: Fundraiser for Military Missions
	The City turns its cause-driven mission to a performance on behalf of U.S. troops stationed in one of the world's most troubled countries: Afghanistan. Gwynne Rose, a senior at Henry Clay High School, has taken on this fund raiser as her senior mentoring project. Military Missions, an IRS approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was started by Beth Pennington of Lexington, the mother of a U.S. Marine who has served three tours of combat duty. After talking with many of his friends about their overseas experiences, Mrs. Pennington came up with the idea to start sending them care packages full of useful items such as shaving cream, zip-lock bags, socks, etc. This small project eventually grew in size and is now known around the country. All proceeds collected after minimal costs of producing the event will be donated directly to Military Missions to ensure a steady flow of care packages to the troops.
