As promised, with me in the Café at Artichoke Music is Jennifer Carrizo, Senior Talent Buyer for the Crystal Ballroom, the Mission Theater and the Spanish Ballroom in Tacoma, all part of McMenamin's wonderfully funky empire. It's hard to believe we haven't had many from the venue management side of de bizz eh nezz. But here we are. What does a talent buyer do? Senior or not. I'll tell you this, the reason you can go out and hear music is because the talent buyer has made a deal which brought that band to you. Let's meet Jennifer Carrizo.

I'm happy we're back here in the café at Artichoke Music.. Next week, Jennifer Carrizo from McMenamin's will be here to talk about what's going on at the Mission Theater…the answer is a lot! But this week a new conversation from a couple of months ago (and I apologize for the delay) with one of our best singers and songwriters, Anandi. She has a lot to say about Jazz singing, especially the Latin variety. At the time we talked she had just released a new album called A Better Way. We'll hear a track from it at the end of our conversation Please meet Anandi.
Returning for another episode of Coffeeshop Conversations is Lisa Marcicek, known to one and all as Miz Kitty that saucy character who has a major basis in real life as hostess of Miz Kitty's Parlour, a vaudeville show that has been in our lives for twenty-two years at various locations in Portland. She was back this year at the Mission Theater, a favorite spot for her and the hand-picked troupe of fine performers and misfits, along with the thrift-store prizes she awards to lucky members of the audience. You will remember Lisa as a fiddler with the Flat Mountain Girls. One never knows what she'll come up with, or as whom. Today, I'm guessing, we'll be talking to both Miz Kitty and Lisa Marcicek, everything all in one. She's always fun, no matter who she is at any one time.

April 9 2015 Welcome to World Cup coffee and tea at 18th and Glisan to be specific. Time for another Oregon Music News Coffeeshop Conversation. This time we’ve got someone you may know better as Miz Kitty of Miz Kitty’s Parlour, the long-running vaudeville show, these days at Alberta Rose Theatre. But you might know her by her real name, Lisa Marsicek, a fiddler and player of other stringed instruments…from the Flat Mountain Girls and other bands she’s been in. It started as a goofy little vaudeville show at the Back Gate Stage at Artichoke Music in 2002 starring Lisa Marsicek as Miz Kitty, a naughty lady in a flamboyant costume a dance hall queen would have worn in the 1875. After moving to Mississippi Pizza and then to Imbibe, she took the plunge and brought Miz Kitty's Parlor to the Mission Theater. At the time it seemed risky. Then she started selling out the place.
