Murnau’s 1927 silent film classic, “Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans.” According to IMDB summary: “In this fable-morality subtitled “A Song of Two Humans”, the “evil” temptress is a city [...] The Nomad is going to be celebrating it’s 5th year on the West Bank this Monday, March 15. Local indie rockers Communist Daughter, jazz violinist Regina Carter and gypsy jazz trio Sidewalk Cafe will be rocking away the anniversary show. I received an advance copy of one of the five new Jimi Hendrix V-Album releases –Valleys of Neptune, Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love, Electric Ladyland and First Rays Of The New Rising Sun — that came out out yesterday via ScatterTunes.

Today we’re hearing [...] The Winter Jubilee fundraising event on Thursday, Jan. 28 will feature performances by Zoo Animal, We Became Actors, Bethany Larson & The Bee’s Knees, Paragraphs, Guante & Big Cats!, Elite Gymnastics, and Chelsea Boys. In addition, there will be both stand up and improv comedy and dancing with cuts provided by DJ Bach.
