Benoit & Sergio Eve : 10:00 p.m. May 24

Luis Bofill Casino Miami Jai-Alai : 9:00 p.m. May 25
Luis Bofill got his start in Cuba's Nueva Trova movement of the late '70s with the group Cuba Nueva.

Ketchy Shuby Will Call : 11:00 p.m. May 31

Buffalo Brown & DJ Keen One The Well Lounge : 9:00 p.m. every Fri.
Buffalo Brown's been playing the guitar so long that he can hold his ten fingers in a bonfire, press them in a cactus patch, dip them in bubbling fry grease, hold them on a power sander, and run 'em cross a razorblade without breaking the skin. That's callous. But the dude's got a heart big as... More >>

DJ Icue Happy Hour The Bar : 5:30 p.m. every Fri.
If Kid Galahad met Nam June Paik in a scratch-off, he might merge to become someone like DJ ICUE.
