Fresh off the release of their sophmore record, Yes Face, The Crooked Mouth returns to Center Portion for an evening of new songs, stories, and wishes for Spring. They will be joined by the charming uke-inflected ensemble, Eve's Undoing (formerly the Jeff Weisfeld Band). If we are very lucky and well-behaved, perhaps hostess Sheila Donohue will share some new work with us. Come on over!

Writer Jeff Dorchen says of the latest The Crooked Mouth recording: "Yes Face is a terrifically good record. It travels on vocal harmonies and drums while it shimmers and jangles with strings. The drumming and bass are great, tempos and sophisticated time signatures change without fanfare, but rather with ease and confidence in a way the body experiences joyfully without having to filter it through the intellect. Sophistication and complexity without over-thinking is part of what makes these songs masterful creations, as compositions and arrangements."
