Inner Fire District At Euro Gourmet

This from Casey Rea over at Seven Days:

At Euro Gourmet, there’s Inner Fire District, a Gypsy-klezmer-Eastern European-styled act headed up by accordionist extraordinaire David Symons. Don’t expect any Gaelic lyrics at this St. Paddy’s party, however. “There will be no Irish music,” Symons writes in an email about the event.

I wandered in and was captivated. It has been a long time since I’ve heard a claranet singing like that, and, well … David’s work on the acccordian was breathtaking. Klezmer is intricate, but earthy, a combination hard to come by in any art.

The Euro Gourmet seems to be a happening place these days. Everything from gypsy music to poetry readings to Bloggers Bristro. Baruth gives a better description of the decor and apthmosphere than I could, but I can speak from personal experience that the expersso and pastries are very good.

Fitting venu for the Inner Fire District, hope to hear more of them.
