Find out what's happening in Studio Citywith free, real-time updates from Patch.


Simon is a ‘folky’ from England. He has been in the U.S.A. for 30 years but still


speaks funny. He collects stringed instruments, some of which he can even play. He normally plays guitar, but has been known to pick up a string bass, dulcimer, cuatro or marxophone. He has a deep voice and sings a mixture of Irish, Scottish, Country and anything else he hears that he likes. He also has a stock of amusing  songs, which sometimes he can be bribed into singing. He refuses to make CDs, so if you want to hear him, you will have to find him onstage playing live.

Born in the small country of Swaziland in Southern Africa, Wayne.N.Sousa always had a tendency to break away from the norm and try to create something fresh. Upon landing in the US, it is no surprise to hear the influences of African rhythms and melodies pulsing through the core of Wayne’s  music.  Blending a variety of styles all the way from Mbaqanga, Mozambique and one-drop grooves of Reggae to infusing Motown, Funk, Rn'B, Soul, Hip Hop along with Rock music from the 60’s and 70’s Wayne has created his own cross cultural, fun and unique sound that make everyone within ear shot want to get up and dance.

9pm to 9:30pm--- Jon Walton,Tony Carafone and Ian Gothe


Jon Keith Walton and Tony Carafone first met and admired each others music at an open Mic night hosted by Dale La Duke.  Since then they have been playing together as often as possible. Tony Carafone brings a wonderful jazz soul that blends with Jon's acoustic story songs and upbeat instrumentals. Recently they have added the talents of another open Mic friend, Ian Gothe, who intertwines his flute into Jon and Tonys music, creating a truly unique, Jazz-Blues-Island-country groove.  They call themselves, "U no U".  Many of the Beehive regulars have seen them develop the sound they are chasing over the last few months at Kulaks Woodshed, Olde Towne Cafe, and Lulu's.
