cocktails

November 20, Art Walk will have Clayton's with music by Eric Benson, Art by Jim Christiansen, and we will be on the new map when the new edition comes out in April, but we aren't on the map in the new format yet. Come on out, we'll be open for dining, cocktails, before and after art walk, and support those other venues open for great Art event for all ages.

Aubrey Johnson and DARC, host Blue Monday jam tonight. Starts at 7:30

Big Earl and the Crying Shame on Saturday 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. This new series at Clayton's has been a bit sparse for crowd, great live blues with last year's MAMA award winner D J Slate and Rocket 88, and great set this past Saturday with Johnny Rocket and Thrust, so get out this Saturday for Big Earl and the Crying Shame. At Clayton's

Eric Benson Presents: Chris Cain Blues Party
Sunday, Aug. 24th.
The Band features Dave Matthew's keyboards and organ, (of Etta James Roots Band), Dawayne Pate on bass, (of Robin Ford Band), and Tyler End on drums.

I didn't make the Mixology show cut at recent member's show, a shot of Scotch did, but I did mixed drinks to order, on commission of my Sister In Law, who's birthday was June 24, as it is every year for some reason.
