Just a reminder that tomorrow night at 8:00 pm we’ll be welcoming Andrew Clark to the Urban Deli for another of our musical Saturday nights. He’s from across the pond (Leeds) and our music guru Wes tells us, “His vocals have been compared to Roger Whittaker meets James Taylor.” Should be interesting!
Hope you can join us!
We’re excited about Saturday night (Nov. 7). Terry Whalen will join us for a solo performance here at the Urban Deli. He’s a roots, rock, blues kind of a guy and we love that sort of thing. If you’d like a bit of info, have a look at our Live Music page or have a look at the Terry Whalen Band site.
Coming up for the Saturday following, November 14, we’ll be welcoming Andrew Clark to the Urban Deli. Wes, our music guy, tell us Andrew hales from Leeds, England and is, “… a gifted song smith and fine guitar player.”
On Saturday we began what we hope will be a regular happening on Saturdays – live music. We want to thank Mike Biggar for kicking things off for us as our first performer. Wes Jagoe (nominated for DVD of the year at the East Coast Music awards 2009 and who will be here this upcoming Halloween Saturday) is handling the music for Saturdays (bookings etc.), so we asked him for a few words about how Saturday went. He writes:
Hello everyone:
Mike Biggar played to a receptive and crowded room here last night (Saturday) at the Urban Deli. He was promoting his latest CD debut EP “The Big Breakfast Special,” a five song disc that’s all original music.
It was a two hour show that was well received. His songs were raw emotion, he can be quite dynamic on the turn of a dime and has well thought out arrangements and touching lyrics.
His song “Wonderfully Made,” off the EP, had a lovely intro about his wife. It makes the song that much more intimate when you know the story behind it. I was quite taken by Mike’s banter, quite witty to say the least, always armed with a comeback if the crowd wants to participate. Mike also did a Bob Dylan and Arrowsmith cover with his own stylistic approach that was well received.
Of course what we would really to know is what you thought of it. Were you able to mke to the Urban Deli on Saturday? If so, what did you think of our musical night?
By the way, we’ll be posting later today or tomorrow some more information about this Saturday’s artist, Wes Jagoe, as well as information about contacting Wes for arranging to perform at the Deli (if you’re a musical artist).
We just wanted to remind you that we’re introducing live music. Mike Biggar will be at the Deli tomorrow evening (Saturday) starting at 8:00pm. Have a look at our Live Music page for more info. We’ve also arranged to team up with Wes Jagoe who will be helping us by handling our live music nights. We’re pretty excited about all of this and can’t wait to get the ball rolling (which will be Saturday).
Our hours have had a bit of tweaking as well to accomodate our Live Music. On Saturdays we’ll be open till 10:00pm (or when the music wraps). However, our full menu we’ll be available till 8:00pm, after which we’ll have a limited menu available.
We hope to see you! The last word goes to Liz, who says:
I’m very excited about this part of the business….this is FUN! Yipee, Yoo, Yaaa, Yeah 🙂
