October 31, 2008 -- Karaoke with Kathi Hartzell

It could get a little frightening this Friday night, with an evening of karaoke at The City Wine Sellar!  Showcase your goulish talent (or lack thereof) with friends and guests cheering you on. 

The rules of a (fun) karaoke night -- be bold, go forth alone or in large groups, pick cheesy dance songs, pay attention to the monitor, ALWAYS hail the performer, and HAVE FUN!  The best karaoke is when it's not necessarily the best karaoke. You know what I mean.  

Don't fret, however.  Even if no one has Karaoke Kahonas, there will still be entertainment. Kathi Hartzell, our Karaoke Kween for the evening, will showcase her professional singing talent for your enjoyment.  Just remember...

"On Halloween the thing you must do

Is pretend that nothing can frighten you

And if somethin' scares you and you want to run

Just let on like it's Halloween fun." (Author Unknown)

Entertainment 7-10 pm; Deli and Cuezzo's Cafe open till 9 pm. Call 252-335-1163 fmi.

August 24, 2008 -- Joe Gosman and Ethan Clark

Joe-baby Gosman has an opening act on Friday night!  Does that mean he's gone big time on us? (Joe, for the record, I've always thought you were big time.) Ethan Clark will begin the evening with some tunes from the pop rock genre, followed by some rockin' with The Joe Gosman Band. You'll get double the bang for your buck this week.  Deli fare served till 9 pm; Cuezzo's Cafe open till 9 pm; Wine, beer and music till 10:00 pm.  

Call 252-335-1163 for more info.  If you'd like to be added to our weekly evites, send an email to d_malenfant@yahoo.com with "evite" in the subject line.   Visit Joe's web site at www.joegosman.com, and Ethan's at www.myspace.com/jamesethan

October 17, 2008 -- Sarah Leary

Chick Power!!! Sarah Leary will spice up The City Wine Sellar on Friday evening as our first female act.  We've had bands with female members (Ticky Tacky) and female guests (Connected), but never all all-female gig.  It's a first -- and you know we're all about doing things new and different at the ole CWS!  Sarah is an acoustic diva who will play a little folk and a little rock.  She has an authentic, natural sound all her own.  One day you'll see her on TV and say to yourself, "I saw her at The City Wine Sellar before she became famous!"  Music 7-10; Deli and Cuezzo's Cafe open till 9.  Call 252-335-1163 for more information. 

October 10, 2008 -- Nick Simmons

Nick Simmons will be going it alone on Friday night at The City Wine Sellar, but don't think for a second that it won't be a spectacular show.  You know him as singer and guitarist for Further Adieu; however, he is an amazingly talented solo act.  It'll be a treat for all in attendance.  On stage from 7-10 pm; enjoy dinner till 9 pm.  Call 252-335-1163 for more information.
