This puts Robert’s next performance the eve of January 4th with the Brothers performing together on the 6th. We apologize for any inconvenience the short notice may cause!

We also have great news: Chai’s is now serving half portions of all their meals! We hope to see you there!

As 2011 draws to a close, we leave you with a clip of “Over the Rainbow” from the closing scene in Finding Forrester, a movie about a young man, inspired by a talented writer to pursue and hone his own writing skills. Has IZ inspired you to pursue music (or anything!) in life?
