Paul Ryan Presents a Night of Singer Songwriters
8pm- Rosa Tu
Genre: singer-songwriter/folk
For fans of: Neko Case, Aimee Mann, Joni Mitchell
Rosa is an American woman who writes and performs songs. Her songs are acoustic, multi-layered stories that spend time in living rooms, coffee shops and other quiet spaces. Her influences range from Leonard Cohen, to traditional Bulgarian music, to the soundtrack of Final Fantasy VII. Rosa feels happy cooking/eating delicious food, lying on the floor in homey spaces, and singing. She hopes that her music will continue to evolve, and to evoke lost feelings and a sense of warmth to the people who listen to it.

11pm- Mike O'Malley
Hailing originally from North Carolina, Mike O’Malley cannot decide whether he wants to entertain you or make you vaguely uncomfortable. A sparse one-man band, he summons the totality of his threadbare resources to make as big and cohesive a noise as one man with a bouzouki, a tambourine, and a big, brassy voice can produce. He only sings when he gets the reds. His material is quixotic at worst, byronic at best, and goes fantastically with beer. You must at least be curious.
