PETER MULVEY

Friday March 12th, 2010 - $12

Over the past 20 years, Mulvey has pursued a restless, eclectic path as a writer and musician – immersing himself in Tin PanAlley jazz, modern acoustic, poetry, narrative, and Americana stylings. Relentlessly touring as a headliner – his attitude is, “When you love what you do, you can work all the time,” – he has also shared the stage with luminaries such as Emmylou Harris, Richard Thompson, Ani diFranco, Indigo Girls, and Greg Brown, and has attracted an audience that stretches from Anchorage to Amsterdam.

Project Name
DAN TYMINSKI

Wednesday March 24th, 2010 - $35

Dynamic on stage, down to earth off stage, 13-time Grammy winner Dan Tyminski has the voice, instrumental chops, and charisma to be counted among the most recognizable and popular male vocalists on today’s bluegrass and country music scenes. His ace instrumental skill and burnished, soulful tenor singing have been key components of Alison Krauss and Union Station. You’ll recognize his voice as the Man of Constant Sorrow from the Oscar-winning Coen Brothers’ film
“O Brother Where Art Thou”

Project Name
HOCKEY

Thursday March 25th, 2010 -
$8 in advance, $10 at the door
w/ THE CONSTELLATIONS,
THE POSTELLES

Hockey is on the fast track to success. Their debut album is an effervescent pop tablet, it fizzes with call-to-arms choruses, dirty guitars and club friendly disco beats. There are flashes of pop rock, dance funk and the Elton John-style piano stomps. Overall, it’s an eclectic sketch of a band brimming with ideas. With an armoury of songs and a full US tour, the band scored a major label deal with Virgin in 2008.

Project Name
JOHN LEE HOOKER, JR.

Saturday March 27th, 2010 - $18
w/ Willie Green

John Lee Hooker Jr. was born in Detroit “Motor” City with Delta blues-filled blood running through his Motown veins. The son of the great John Lee Hooker, he was exposed the life of the blues from a young age. At only eight years old Jr. performed on Detroit’s WJBK radio and knew from that moment that he wanted to follow the path of his father and become a world-class musician. As a 2008 Grammy nomination. Jr. Hooker continues to carry the blues into the 21st century.

Project Name
TIGERCITY

Sunday March 28th, 2010 - $10

With echoes of the Bee Gees, Prince and Roxy Music, Tigercity’s funky, electro-driven indie-pop was born of a desire to avoid what Gillim calls the “scratchy post-punk guitar sound” New York bands have been milking for the past few years. Since the critically and commercially successful self-release of their Pretend Not To Love EP in July 2007, Brooklyn’s TIGERCITY has been touring almost continuously, bringing their brand of pop escapism to the masses.

Project Name
SHANE DWIGHT

Saturday April 3rd, 2010 - $10

Northern California native, now Nashville-based, Shane Dwight is a young American Roots Music artist for the 21st century – a killer blues player who can rock the house all night long with the best of them, and an introspective singer-songwriter whose voice rings true at alt-country, Americana, R&B, and flat-out Rock N Roll. There is no pigeonhole for Shane Dwight, and no single corral can hold this bucking bronco. His music draws in equally from classic blues,urban R&B, alt-country and modern rock without missing a beat.

Project Name
THE THERMALS

Saturday April 10th, 2010 - $10 in advance, $12 at the door

Since the summer of fear and hate (2002), The Thermals have been cranking out three-minute, no-fi sonic gems with a neo-grunge attitude. When they’re not powering through one of their catchy anthems, they’re racking their brains to come up with ridiculous(ly bad) new sub-genres. Hey, they just thought of a new one! Just in time for the release of their new album, Now We Can See. It’s totally post-power-pop.

Project Name
ENTER THE HAGGIS

Saturday April 17th, 2010 - $12

The band has made waves in the genre, landing high Billboard and iTunes World Music chart positions as well as major television appearances on shows like Live With Regis And Kelly, A&E Breakfast With the Arts and PBS’ popular program Out of Ireland, with its multi-influence style of Celtic rock. It’s the kind of overall sound and devotion package that has created not only die-hard fans, but “Haggis Heads” that follow the band from gig to gig.

Project Name
LOCAL NATIVES

Thursday April 29th, 2010 - $12

Local Natives make soaring, sky-scraping harmonies, dreamy orchestral melodies, and throbbing tribal beats that bash their way into your soul. Theirs are songs you can dance to almost as well as you can swoon to them. Drawing a line from the vocal stylings of Crosby Stills Nash & Young and the Zombies through the more esoteric edges of post-punk and Afro-beat, this California five piece have communally crafted a brand of indie rock all their own.

Project Name
ELUVIUM

Thursday, May 13th, 2010 - $10

Eluvium’s lambent ambient goes straight to the heart and the mind, weaving a mysterious and captivating sound into the landscapes of internal emotion, making him one of the most intriguing and successful ambient composers currently working. All of the feelings that many pop musicians rely on lyrics to convey are here, cloaked inside of sonic clouds.

“A magnificent set, awash in textures, atmospheres, moods, and emotion.”

Project Name
COTTON JONES

Friday May 21st, 2010 - $7

In Cotton Jones, Michael Nau and fellow Page France alum Whitney McGraw pursue even dreamier sounds, weaving elements of folk, jazz and country into a woozily melodic quilt of Americana with psychedelic sensibilities. Cotton Jones’ full-length debut, Paranoid Cocoon, released in January, is a quiet storm of a record full of gorgeous, harmony-laden songs like “Gotta Cheer Up” that linger in the air like hazy, sweetly scented smoke long after they’re over.

Welcome to Cafe Eleven!

The story begins eight years ago in a dirty, broken-down convenience store that is transformed over the course of a year into a full-scale modern decor restaurant and world-class music venue. We specialize in innovative vegetarian meals as well as meaty Southern comfort dishes and have an adventurous selection of import draft beers and hard-to-find bottled beers.

On top of that, we are located just across the street from the beach. The combination of locale and cuisine attracts tourists for weekend brunch, hipsters for the music, retirees for the pork barbecue, and surfers for a daily dose of a buffalo chicken panini. Open for breakfast (brunch on weekends), lunch and dinner 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, later if there is a show.

We regularly feature new and exciting dinner specials, so come in often to experience the best of what the beach has to offer.
