The Business of Being Born
Tuesday, April 29th 6 pm $5 donation
Snack Menu and Bar Drinks available
There will be a Panel Discussion Following the Film
Birth is a miracle, a rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business.
Compelled to explore the subject after the delivery of her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to question the way American women have babies.
The film interlaces intimate birth stories with surprising historical, political and scientific insights and shocking statistics about the current maternity care system. When director Epstein discovers she is pregnant during the making of the film, the journey becomes even more personal.
Should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potentially catastrophic medical emergency? Alice di Micele Thursday, May 1st @ 7:30pm. No cover! The first thing you'll notice about Alice Di Micele is her voice. With a five-octave range that is intense, sensual, rich and soulful, Di Micele has been known to turn a noisy bar silent within a few notes. Her warm presence and humor disarm and create a rare intimacy between audience and performer. Whether singing a jazzy-folk number, belting a sassy blues, or rocking out on one of her trademark rhythmic earthy grooves, Alice is a vocalist that moves people. The Moon Mountain Ramblers Saturday, May 3rd 8:30 pm. No Cover! "The Moon Mountain Ramblers, a string band from Bend, have created their own soulful interpretation of traditional bluegrass, swing music and country music. Listen to their tunes and you'll hear Djengo Reinhardt-flavored acoustic jazz or country rock a la Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers." - Laurie Houston, Tempo Mail Tribune Cinco de Mayo Celebration Monday, May 5th Dinner 5 pm, Music 7 pm It is that time of year again to celebrate our neighbors to the South!

LHS returns again to the pub for another night of their infamous crushing rock! Fronted by brothers Ben Mish, a piano phenomenon with a soulful voice and a raucous attitude, and Will Mish, a guitar wizard who has earned critical nods for his unfathomable talent and innate sense of melody and blues, and flanked by Irish-born multi-talented rhythm guitarist Ronan O'Mahony, a childhood friend and co-songwriter, and the inimitable stick-man Andrew Cloutier on drums, Left Hand Smoke brews up a blend of neo-soul and rock that is steeped in tradition, yet entirely original and fresh. Creeping Time Saturday, May 10th 9 pm NO COVER! Original 4 piece acoustic grassrock from Seattle, Creeping Time, makes their TRP debut. This band was founded in 1997 and has 4 albums. The current line-up, whose music spans the gap between your grandfather's bluegrass and modern rocket science, continues to entertain audiences of all ages throughout the Pacific Northwest. It's like Bill Monroe, Doc Watson and Vassar Clements jamming with Phish, Steve Earle and the Ramones. The poetry of the lyrics is matched only by the passion and fire with which they play. One Way Out Saturday, May 17th 9 pm. NO Cover! Through local music connections and word of mouth and after contacting the Allman Brothers Band for permission in Nov 2006, One Way Out was officially formed in Feb 2007 with the blessing of Kirk West, road manager of the Allman Brothers Band and Gregg Allman himself gave the thumbs up according to Kirk. After a few personnel changes, the current lineup of Brad Turner on drums, Dick Hecox on bass, Steve Thorpe on piano/organ and Lead Vocals, Paul DeHass on percussion, Larry Federspiel and Brian Butler on guitars has a great chemistry and is moving forward and building up the name in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area. Some of the current members have been in bands that shared the bill with top acts such as Ted Nugent, Southern Rock Allstars, Steppinwolf, Blue Oyster Cult, Edgar Winter, the Outlaws, Night Ranger, Rick Derringer and many more.
