Join us on Tuesday, May 25th, 2010 at 7pm PST for a Furious World special event!  We’ll be moving our show to the LA hotspot, The Mint LA.  Everyone can now be part of our studio audience.  Visit:  http://www.themintla.com/show/detail/29466 for location information.  We hope to see you there!

A local landmark, this Los Angeles night club was established in 1937 and is celebrating its 70th year here in 2007. Its best known for its live music and over the years many greats have not only played here, they got their starts by playing The Mint. Back in the day, the likes of Stevie Wonder, Willie Dixon, Natalie Cole, Ray Charles and more graced its stage and more recently, Ben Harper, Macy Gray, The Wallflowers honed their craft and kicked off their careers playing this Los Angeles night club. Although live music is what we are known for, many people come to the Mint just to hang out, grab some of our tapas style cuisine and some drinks. The kitchen is usually open until midnight, there is a full bar and we have beer on tap and a great wine list to suit any palate and budget.

Special guests for this event will be The Moshav Band and relationship specialist Marni Battista.

“His brief, eight-song set earned him a standing ovation – unheard of for a warm-up act…With his piano-powered attack and his rock eclecticism, newcomer Joe Firstman reminds you of Elton John when he was still young. Firstman is the real thing. Look for him as a contender for Best New Artist at the Grammys.” – New York Post

This week’s guest is Michael O’Keefe; he’s an actor, writer, director, and producer.  In fact, he’s received a number of Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations.  You’ve probably seen him on shows such as The West Wing, Law and Order, and House M.D.

Michael will be talking about his book, “Swimming Under My Father”, which is Michael’s first book of poetry.  His book is available at Make It New Media.

Tomorrow we’re excited to have the musician and producer Joe Henry on the Furious World!  He has over two decades of experience as a solo artist, and is also a Grammy-winning producer.  Joe has worked with artists such as Elvis Costello, Madonna, and Ani DiFranco.  His latest release, “Blood from Stars”, came out in August; you can listen to the album here.

We also have a few other guest musicians tomorrow… word is that Eric Heywood, previous guest of our show, is back from tour and will be sitting in on some tunes.  So grab your popcorn, pull up a chair, and invite your friends over to watch the show!
