He plays at Mura every Thursday night from 7-10pm through June. He’s moving to New York City in July, so go see him while you still can.

It seems like more people show up to hear the music each week, and yesterday I’d estimate there were about 2,000 people there. Most people were standing, but others brought their lawn chairs to relax in.

The Mardi Gras Band put on a good performance …

Who’s ready to get lei’d? At 9:00 pm on Thursday after the music at North Hills there will be a luau at Mura outside on the patio. The cost is $10 and proceeds will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Assoication. It should be a fun time, with music, good food (I’ve heard there will be BBQ pork and pineapple fried rice, as well as sushi), and a raffle.
Sponsors include Budweiser, Absolut and Red Bull. NBC-17 will be covering the event and doing some live video streaming, and I’ll be there …
