CUNEIFORM CURATES THE STONE
I was very, very pleased to be contacted by John Zorn and offered the opportunity to book his amazing music space The Stone" for two weeks in November. The Stone is a great listening space with good sound, comfortable chairs and great music six nights per week (they are closed on Mondays). There are two separate shows per night with a different act at each show and a separate admission to each show. Every cent of your admission money goes to the artists. Watch this space for updates to the schedule.
