PROVISIONS PANTRY WEEKENDS:
April 11th-12th-13th
April 18th-19th-20th
April 25th-26th-27th
Provisions Pantry is filling bellies and pleasing palates every week, and there are more good things coming in the near future.
Tim continues to evolve in the kitchen, and the flavors and foods he creates from the Pantry are so original and satisfying. Now that he's stepped off the cliff and committed himself to being self-employed, there's really no telling what might happen in the kitchen...we can't wait to see and taste!
Follow @provisionspantry on Instagram and Facebook to get a peek into what's going on in the kitchen and to view the menu when it's released.

COMING TO THE PROVISIONS STAGE IN APRIL
Sunday, April 7th
SLADE RIVERS BAND
3pm~ FREE
Saturday, April 13th
Sara Petite
5:30pm Door
$10.00 Cash Only
Whenever Sara Petite sings, she sounds like a real girl. That may sound like a, 'Well, no duh!' remark, but with so many contemporary country divas playing the Miss Perfect part to, well, perfection, it's getting harder and harder to find many real girl country singers anymore. That makes Petite a delightful exception to the rule.
Whether she's joking about resorting to riding an elephant to get away from a bad relationship, as Petite does during Movin' On, -- no, not the Hank Snow song - or having a relational allergic reaction to 'the other woman's' perfume during Perfume, Petite always sings in a ragged-but-right and oh-so-sincere gal's voice. She comes of especially smart when she's angry, which is most apparent during the latter day outlaw country of The Master, which brings Waylon, Willie and the gang to mind - even better than Gretchen Wilson. It has that assertive rhythmic thump-thumb of Jennings' sonic signature, along with a melodic nod to Nelson's On the Road Again, giving it the best of both worlds. Lyrically, this 'master' is only the king of doing girls wrong.
We haven't had a down home country singer/songwriter this good since Iris Dement. Think of Dement, only a whole lot more fun, and you'll get a good picture of the joy that is Sara Petite's "Circus Comes to Town."

The Bottom Dwellers are a four-piece Americana band from Woodland, California.

Our good friend Jesse Daniel will be hitting the studio with legendary country music producer, Tommy Detamore, to cut his follow-up album. His self-titled debut album was outstanding and his live shows here at Provisions have given us a glimpse into what the future may hold...he played some of his new songs last time he was here! In February of this year Jesse took home the Ameripolitan Music Award for Best Honky-Tonk Male. Please take a moment to view his Kickstarter Campaign and give him a boost if you can...just click the photo below. ~Cheers!
