Saturday - 12 - Don White There is no one-word description for what Don White does. He has survived and thrived for more than twenty years, bringing his audiences to laughter and tears in his live performances, studio recordings, and on the printed page. He is a storyteller- comedian-author-troubadour-folk singer-songwriter. He is a walking challenge to the phrase “file under.” Best to just sort him under “Don White.” Equal parts comedian, storyteller and songwriter Mr. White’s performances have earned him a dedicated following for over twenty years. “White is a riot on stage, a bona fide crowd pleaser. One of the most popular acts on the circuit. He plays an audience the way Leo Kottke plays a 12-string.”- The Boston Globe. “…there is an honesty and self-dep- recating wit in his material that is an immediate tonic.” - The Boston Herald “People with a sense of humor tend to be less egocentric and more realistic in their view of the world and more humble in moments of success and less defeated in times of ravail.” - Bob Newhart “If music be the food of love, play on.” - William Shakespeare October Entertainment Friday - 18 - SING: The Quiet Corner Song Swap Saturday - 19 - Pretty Saro Pretty Saro is a contemporary acoustic quartet hail- ing from Berklee College of Music in Boston.

They burst night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man into the Boston bluegrass be trusted. Mark the music.” - William Shakespeare scene shaking up the definition of American roots music. Meeting every so often in a tiny, worn, and slightly smelly dorm practice room, the bluegrass quartet tinkered away, trying to find the right blend of styles they wanted to convey to the world. With past appearances at Joe Val Bluegrass Festival and The Freshgrass Festival the Saros are eager to continue creating powerful emotions and once in a lifetime experiences through musical expression.

Since 1980 they have been delighting audiences - Rodney Dangerfield with a repertoire ranging from traditional bluegrass standards to folk and contemporary songs all performed in their own unique bluegrass style. Skillful instrumental work and strong vocals give Grass Routes their own characteristic sound. Showcasing especially tight harmonies, vocals include duets to four part harmonies. What make Grass Routes unique is that each member sings lead. With five lead vocalists, Grass Routes presents a different style and material with each vocal arrangement.

November Entertainment Friday - 15 - SING: The Quiet Corner Song Swap Saturday - 16 - Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards Mark Mandeville and Raianne Richards are clearly inheritors of a timeless legacy, creating music that is both original and evocative of a rich tradition. Blend- ing distinctive voices and a wide range of accompaniment (guitar, harmonica, ukulele, clarinet, penny whistle, electric bass), their songs have been well- received by audiences around the eastern United States since 2010. Transcending the genre of folk Americana, their music echoes inspiration from traditional folk duos and singer/songwriters like Ian & Sylvia, Kate Wolf and Neil Young – combining beautiful harmonies and a lyrical intensity, while establishing a unique sound of their own. “And still, after all this time, The sun never says to the earth, “You owe Me.” Look what happens with A love like Saturday - 23 - Kerri Powers that, It lights the Whole Sky.” - Hafiz “From extravagance to simple elegance we went, as Kerri Powers took the stage with nothing but a chair, an acoustic guitar and a tapping tambourine strapped to the toe of her boot.” Kerri Powers has been a staple of the New England music scene for more than 10 years. Powers’ supple vocals give these songs a cool caress, creating a quiet aura of authority and conviction only the most accomplished artists have the ability to attain. Pow- ers’ own compositions are excellent as always, but the gentle touch she instills in her songs.

He’s shared the stage with artists as diverse as James Taylor, Ani DiFranco, Edwin McCain, Emmylou Harris and Ryan Adams, and has quickly become known for his passionate live sets and powerful command of both piano and guitar. His music has also caught the ears of fans, industry and critics alike, with USA Today stating that his “exquisite tenor echoes Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel.” December Entertainment Friday - 6 - Open Mic Hosts - Faith Montaperto & Peter Lehndorff - Feature - Allison Rose - is a Rhode Island native singer-songwriter who is turning heads with her pure voice, heartfelt lyrics, and a solid serving of humor and sass. Saturday - 7 - Jim Henry & Tracy Grammer It’s hard to know where to start when describing Jim Henry. He does a lot of things and he does them well. Guitarist, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, sideman, headlin- er, podcast host, author, producer, engi- neer... it’s safe to say Jim Henry does it all. As a sideman, on a variety of electric or acoustic guitars, or on mandolin or dobro, Jim can render emotional sensitivity in one moment then tear into a rock or country solo with such fire it’s hard to catch your breath. He is a master of adding whatever is needed at any musical moment. At center stage, whether as a solo artist or leading a band, Jim delivers his finely crafted original songs with a smooth, rich baritone voice and engaging story telling and humor. Called “a musician and singer of dazzling versatili- ty”, Tracy Grammer is among contemporary folk music’s most beloved artists. “You are not here merely to make a living.

1. Sales Tax Included - Our prices include the 6.35% Connecticut Sales Tax + the 1% Restaurant Tax. The prices listed on the menu are exactly what you pay. Our prices may seem to be inflated; however, a $14.00 menu item is actually $13.04 + $.96 sales tax. Further- more, this practice makes it easier for the customer, especially if that customer is a child who has exact change for a cookie. What you see is exactly what you pay - what could be simpler? 2. Not Market Standard Pricing - We are not trying to fool the customer into thinking that $11.95 is “A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart less expensive than $12.00.$9.95 We find this type of pricing enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct insulting to our customers. However, the reason it is them.” - John C. Maxwell used so extensively around the nation is that it works effectively. We don’t like that practice, and we also like to believe that our clientele is not so easily fooled. 3. No Pennies, Dimes or Nickels - Because our prices include tax and we do not price in the standard way, we do not have to use pennies, dimes or nickels. This is a service to both the customer and to us. We don’t give you lots of change, and we only have to use quarters and fifty-cent pieces. This also helps our staff to be more efficient performing transactions, which saves time and money. An added bonus is that we don’t have to count change at the end of the business day. *The Vanilla Bean Café & Dog Lane Café only c

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” - Kurt Vonnegut The Café Cash Card he first Café Cash Card was introduced in 1997.

Café Cash Cards can be purchased in any amount at the restaurant or online and are reloadable - add to the card “Don’t spend all your time trying to find yourself.
