Stratospheerius - Stratospheerius is the bastard child of Frank Zappa, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Dave Matthews, and Blues Traveler.  "Fleshing out the Stratospheerius sound are: "Out-of-this-world strings, sultry guitar, rumbling basslines, frantic drumming, and celebratory vocals that enunciate lyrical outlines of life. The songs are gripping and energetic.

Insistent melodies are made compelling by the violin passion. Fevered solos are cradled between lyrical passages that tremble with breakout rock stamina. A Bayou flavor lurks in several tracks, creating a strange fusion of bluesy funk and progressive tendencies. The result is goodtime music that will get you dancing."-Matt Howarth.  Jann Klose and The League Of Proper Musicians open the show with jazz/funk/rock sets.  $7.00.

Jann is on first at 8pm.  Jann Klose's new album REVERIE is fast becoming a critical favorite in regional America. Blogcritics.org's Jon Sobel says it's a sweet salve for troubled times and Aced Magazine's John Casquarelli calls it a musical masterpiece.
