Professors of Bluegrass 4/28

Come see the professors get down!

Founded in the early 90s by former Provost Peter Salovey, the Professors of Bluegrass are still going strong. You may have seen them on stage at the annual New Haven Folk Festival every fall, or maybe you've heard stories...

... but on Wednesday 4/28 you can see it all happen live at BAR. The Professors will play the back room, 10pm.

The show is free, the drinks are cheap ($2 specials til 11pm), and the pizza and micro brews are the best in town.

Peter Salovey - Bass/Vocals (Provost of Yale College, Chris Argyris Professor of Psychology)

Matt NK Smith - Fiddle (Yale College '10)

Craig Harwood - Mandolin (Yale GRD '02, Dean, Davenport College)

Sten Havumaki - Guitar/Vocals (School of Hard Wood) North Bennet Street School, Boston '09

Oscar Hills - Banjo (Associate Clinical Professor, Psychiatry - Yale '77)

music resumes 4/21 with Sidewalk Dave and Luke Elliot

Just a reminder, BAR is closed Wednesday 4/14 for a Wesleyan event.

Live music Wednesdays will resume 4/21 with Sidewalk Dave and Luke Elliot!

"Aggressive Folk-Rock pours like sweat from the four members of Sidewalk Dave. Since 2007, they have conjured up a deep instinct for rebellious brotherhood together in the North East. Elise Granata of Fairfield County Weekly, Inkwell Press, and The Sound Magazine writes, "... The New Haven-area band's album Songs for Cowards was one of our favorite local releases of 2009 and holds its own amongst the work of their nationwide peers. Sidewalk Dave (a guy actually named Dave, plus his bandmates) plies raucous garage-country and folk rock with slow dynamic builds, genuinely thoughtful lyrics, and the spirit of someone young and eager who nonetheless has really lived"(Fairfield County Weekly). They have played with such similarly inspiring acts as Deer Tick, O’Death, Neva Dinova, Woods, De Nova Dahl, Danielson, Cotton Jones, Wye Oak, Mcarthy Trenching, and put out 2 full-length Albums.

The future is clear, but the past has always been a struggle for Sidewalk Dave. From the beginning, ambition and drive to spread the good word through music has always been present. The goal has been the same; challenge people with music; make them believe and leave them wanting more. Over the past few years and into the future, Sidewalk Dave continues to push the listener, champion the weak, damn the wasteful, and cut through the mainstream. “What he is saying is worth the attention”, (Brian LaRue, New Haven Advocate)."

"It’s a damn shame that the grinding squeal of metal-on-metal of a train coming into the station, thick steam billowing out through the waiting crowd of gunslingers, priests and thieves is imagery so co-opted by generic Americana bands and Morricone-wanna-be’s, because that is the stuff of poets....And that brings us to Luke Elliot. This New Jersey native’s first full-length record, “In Our Embrace”, has all of that grit in every crack and crevasse of its runtime. And not in any sort of pedal-steel parody way, but in the way of withered waltzes, barreling ragtime, and hypnotic piano dirges underpinned by literate narrative that coats each melody like chipped paint on a broken down jalopy."

Show starts at 10pm. $2 well drinks and domestic bottles til 11pm. $3 Jäger shots all night. 21+
