Pat Beary
May 12 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

pat beary on stage performing with his bandEverybody has a story. Pat Beary has been telling his from behind a guitar for a long time now. Songs that tell secrets. Sometimes we whisper, sometimes we howl. Take everything you think you know about singer songwriters…and rip it up. With that old guitar he creates a performance with a depth that is compelling and passionate. Be it to two hundred people or twenty, he engages the crowd night after night.

With the rare ability to speak to the soul with his expressive and poignant lyrics, Pat Beary is an artist you don’t want to miss.

Heavy Souls @ The Spirit Room
May 14 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Heavy Souls @ The Spirit Room

Heavy Soul is a musical trio comprised of Nick Canuel on guitar, Darryl Icard from Combo Deluxe and Gabriel Rhodes from Well Dressed Wolves.  Two amazing bands that highlight both of their musical skills.

Nick Canuel plays it tough & dirty on that lead guitar while Darryl plays monster bass and adds vocals and harmonies as well.  Gabe kicks it on drums/vocals.

This should be an afternoon full of fun, dancing and creative musical choices.

Hold my Beer Band
May 19 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Ore House, Oracle Az.

The Hold my Beer Band began innocently enough at a Farmer’s Market in Oracle Arizona.  Sue & Jerry’s Trading Post hosts this popular local event every Wednesday evening during the Spring and Summer, then winterizing at the end of October.  The trading post always features a food vendor, local arts and crafts vendors and folks selling their fruits in various forms as well as tasty treats!

They have since added a drummer, Mark Garris who the band met at the Farmer’s Market as well.  Mark plays guitar and sings solo around the Oracle area and also sings lead on some tunes while providing background vocals and a backbeat!  Mark brought in bass player and vocalist Scott McMullen when Scott thought the timing may be right.  According to the fans in Oracle, the band has been met with rave reviews.

Drop by and check out Ron on his keyboards again as the Hold my Beer Band makes its return to the Spirit Womb Stage!
