Round out the season with the Round-Up!

Round out the season with the Round-Up!



This week at Citizen Cupcake we present Jeanie & Chuck's Country Roundup to entertain on Wednesday night! Jeanie and Chuck's Country Roundup performs an entertaining mix of honky tonk and bluegrass music on acoustic instruments. In front of one big mic, they entertain the audience through music, humor, and showmanship. They specialize in country duets and honky tonk songs, with strong vocals that highlight the rich emotion of classic country music. Be it the duets of George and Tammy or Carter and Ralph, they play country classics with humor and respect.



Jeanie and Chuck's Country Roundup performs at festivals, cafes, nightclubs and other music venues around the San Francisco Bay Area. They've played at the San Francisco Bluegrass and Old Time Festival, Strictly Bluegrass 2 in Golden Gate Park, and live on the radio on KALW's Bluegrass Signal, KPFA's Panhandle Country, and KKUP's Cupertino Barndance.



We are delighted to welcome them to our stage on Wednesday December 28 at 7pm. Families are welcome for music night, and as always there is no cover. Come on down!



Please note there will not be music night on Wednesday January 4th, 2006. We look forward to you joining us on Wednesday January 11 for our first music night of the new year with another returning artist. Look for the write-up later this week!

Citizen Cupcake, as well as the Virgin Megastore Staff, is delighted to welcome Jessica Eschman to perform on Wednesday, December 7th for Live Music Night. Friends new and old look forward to gathering 'round the stage for Jessica's solo performance. She comes to us as a former Virgin associate, and is no stranger to the music scene here in the Bay Area. Jessica Eschman is a singer-songwriter-pianist with a diverse body of original songs. Jessie's lyrics are introspective and emotionally driven, yet she continues to maintain her sense of humor. A singer, first and foremost, she is known for her soulful delivery of the words she writes. Jessie is influenced by artists from a wide variety of musical styles (Jill Scott, Tori Amos, Rufus Wainwright, Ani Difranco, Fiona Apple, the list goes on and on...) and is always armed with a suprising cover or two. Jessie loves to play and sing, and thanks YOU for listening.

Once again, Music Night at Citizen Cupcake Cafe + Bar is always free. Show starts at 7pm. Families welcome.

With a traditional acoustic guitar spin, Tom O'Connor lends an original interpretation to many rock and folk classics and obscurities, peppered with a few original compositions. With his influences ranging from blues, classic rock, and folk, Tommy O. has lit up many a late-night campfire jam with anthemic sing-able tunes. It is in that spirit that Tom takes the mic for a solo acoustic night of fun.

Also on Wednesday, November 9, Citizen Cupcake Cafe + Bar is excited to present this week's act for music night, Doni Harvey. He just returned to the Bay Area from a greatly successful solo blues tour in Germany. Doni’s music was well received and inspired rave reviews for his contemporary style of the Blues. Doni Harvey is the kind of musician who mesmerizes the audience with the first notes he plays. This is partially due to his extensive stage experience with acts like Automatic Man, Stomu Yamashta, Caribbean Allstars, HARVEY, Clarence Clemons, Laverne Baker and Narada Michael Walden, to name a few. But his solo performances have still an added quality: in a small, intimate setting, the authenticity of his blues becomes a near physical experience. On his solo CDs 'Your Blues Ain't like My Blues' and 'Doni Harvey 'Live' .....telling', Doni Harvey tells stories, not just reflecting his personal experiences, but stories everyone in the audience can relate to.



Join us in welcoming this amazing show tomorrow night at Cupcake. As always, there is no cover. Families welcome. Showtime 7pm.

How about some

How about some Jam with that mini-scone? Introducing Next Week's Featured Musical Act



On Wednesday October 12, Citizen Cupcake's Live Music Night will feature the psychedelic-influenced, abstract jams of The Neurohumors. The Neurohumors are a constantly re-arranged combination of San Francisco-based musicians that specialize in purely improvisational rock, jazz, progressive and ambient styles. The band is known for its unpredictable and wild jams that transport listeners to all-new distant places. The Neurohumors rarely play songs, but rather they employ 'launch pads' to project the music far into unknown, uncharted territory. Some jams are upwards of 25 minutes, during the course of which trance-like modes and mellow psychedelia give forth to explosive and incendiary events. The experience of their performance is often a lot like space travel and time travel together with a birds-eye view of galactic oddities and fantastic worlds. With an ever-changing lineup, you never know what to expect from The Neurohumors, making theirs an exciting and must-see performance every time.

Music night at Citizen Cupcake Cafe + Bar promises to be a groovy scene. As always, there is no cover. Showtime 7pm.

happy as

Happy as a... Clam!



AAahhhh, the sweet taste of success. In partnership with Cat Cora behind the Iron Chef America stoves, our Elizabeth Falkner helped simmer, sauce and saute their way to sweet victory in 'Battle Clam' on Sunday, August 14th. Some of the notorious creative courses were: 'clammy mary'-- bloody mary sorbet and avocado mousse served with clam kabobs; 'shakin' like an Elvis clambake'-- Southern favorite with corn, potatoes and szechwan-peppercorn-butter; and a trio of clam, just in case you haven't sampled it enough ways--clam ceviche, pineapple-curry clam and clam pakora. Jjust a bit more complicated and creative than one would whip up at home. Congratulations ladies!
