| Monday Aug 23rd @ 8pm The Balagula Theatre: Forget Herostratus! | |
 |
a satirical tragicomedy written by Grigory Gorin. In Forget Herostratus! the author takes the historic event at its starting point and develops it according to the logic of characters who are entirely his own creation, in order to expose the problems of his own time. In 356 BCE a young shopkeeper named Herostratus burns down the great temple of Artemis at Ephesus. Far from trying to conceal his crime, Herostratus claims credit, believing that only an act of such destructive proportions will gain him immortal fame and ensure that his name will never be forgotten. Meanwhile, the authorities and an onlooker from the future engage in an attempt at justice -- to erase Herostratus' name from history. Monday Aug 16th: Pay What You Can Tuesday Aug 17th: Student Night ($10 with Student I.D.) www.balagula.com Dinner seating from 6:00-7:00pm. Greek Dinner Special $14 Includes Tzatziki , hummus, Greek salad and baklava. Choice of Vegetarian, Moussaka or Chicken Ephesus. Curtain at 8:00pm |

| Saturday Aug 28th @ 9pm SHOW CANCELED: Thad Cockrell | |
 |
We're sorry, but this show has been postponed. Please continue to watch our calendar for future Thad Cockrell dates! "one of the best young songwriters in Nashville..." --Grayson Currin "From the first measure, you hear the unmistakable sound of the pure and uncompromised spirit of an artist who just wants to sing what's in his heart. And it rocks you right down to your soul..."--Puremusic.com "I love music. It does something to me that's unfair. It knows the corners I walk around, and when I'm least expecting a confrontation music throws its punches. Music confronts me. I started playing guitar when I was out of college because I finally realized it was indeed a possibility and that I was tortured without doing so. I haven't quit since then and I don't suppose I will anytime soon. I have recently moved to Nashville, where I have found many like-minded souls who believe there is still music to be made, songs to be written, and truth to be told." -Thad Cockrell www.thadcockrell.com |

| Sunday Aug 29th @ 8pm The Coal Men | |
 |
Coleman writes with the fearless emotional candor that marks the best of Alabama songwriter Will Kimbrough's work, and the band is just similar enough to the Jayhawks to invite favorable comparison. But despite Coleman's slight, dismissible vocal resemblance to an earthier more soulful Jackson Browne, The Coal Men don't really really sound like anyone else. Coleman's songs have the naturalness of good conversation and unfold with the same freshness. A laconic but literate and expressive lyricist who isn't afraid to let melody pull an equal share, he paints with fewer strokes than many, yet gets so much out of them. For him and the rest of the Coal Men, beauty is a moment - actually, a series of moments - and there are a wealth of fine ones ("Natural Wonder," "Cleveland Sky," " Louisiana ") here. Coleman and Frame's guitars, Dave Ray's deep-bucket Levon Helm-type drumming, the tight but unceremonious competence of the band, and the quality of the songs put the album outside of trends and vogue. www.myspace.com/thecoalmen |
