Thirsty Thursday Jazz & Beer

Tonight's Thirsty Thursday musical guest: Saxi-Dan's Peas-a-Pye jazz trio. These cats were here about a month ago. It was fabulous! Truly wonderful stuff (I love a what a good jazz drummer brings to the mix, and Eric is a good drummer). Craig Peaslee (guitar), Dan Schielke (sax) and Eric Pye (drums) make Saxi-Dan's Peas-a-Pye (get it?). 7pm.

And the Thirsty Thursday drink special tonight is bottles of Goose Island 312 for $2.50 a bottle while they last. If we run out we'll call in a substitute New Glarus for the same price. 6-9pm. So, come have a beer and an artisan pizza with us tonight."Densely populated with flavor, 312’s spicy aroma of Cascade hops is followed by a crisp, fruity ale flavor delivered in a smooth, creamy body. This gives 312 a balance of flavor and refreshment..."

Then, Saturday night at 8...Z-Man brings the Scat Acoustic Funk.

Z-Man (Zach Cleven) hails from Green Bay and this will be his first gig at the Stump. From Z's myspace: My musical journey began in 2008 when I was experimenting with the acoustic guitar and finding my meaning of life. The first song I learned was Bob Marley's "Redemption song" and it took off. I decided my musician name of Z-MAN with my real name being Zach Cleven it fits well. My music has grown to become a huge part of my life as I continue to become stronger as I mature as a songwriter. As I evolved on the guitar I began to develop my own style that many describe as ONE OF A KIND. The Z-MAN wouldn't be where he is, if it wasn't for his friends & family supporting the good vibes of his music and keepin' the spirit ALIVE. He brings a unique twist of skat acoustic funk to the world and isn't lookin' back.
