* Ben Arthur & Jennifer Marks. All ages. $5 8p.
Ben Arthur: "...truly brilliant culmination of humor mixed with skilled songwriting ... sardonic twist of black humor ... with many double takes ... delicate melodies remain key to his appeal, though he incorporates 808s, DJ-scratching and drum machines on several of the songs, with cellos and strings underlining others ... bits and pieces of John Lennon's cheeky fatalism, Beck's homespun experiments..."
Jennifer Marks: "...unique view on life's stuggle and hardships, with an approarch of good thoughts and perseverance ... powered by a fiercely independent character that is balanced by an effervescent personality ... bears a musical resemblance to Aimee Mann, though slightly edgier ... always poignant and engaging ... and her arrangements are equally gorgeous and entrancing.".
