The Comet Bluegrass All-Stars (CBAS) were assembled in 1996 as the Sunday night house band at The Comet, a neighborhood pub in Northside, Cincinnati. Since that time the popularity of the band has grown beyond the lounge at The Comet, opening for such national acts as Sam Bush, Blue Highway, Del McCoury and Ricky Skaggs.
The Sunday night sessions at the Comet are informal and known to draw a diverse listening audience from small children to senior citizens. Those attending the shows find each member of the six-piece band to be accomplished singers and multi-instrumentalists, with the live combination of these players presenting an even greater sum than its parts.
The CBAS won the Cincinnati Enquirer Cammy Award in 2000, 2001 and 2002 for Best Bluegrass/Folk Band as well as CityBeat's Cincinnati Entertainment Awards in 2001, 2002 and 2004 for Best Bluegrass/Folk Band.

“GAME OVER” for Cup & Saucer Café Current mood: melancholy Category: Life
We regret to announce the closing of Cup & Saucer Café after three and a half years in business. Call 513-544-7017 for information on buying the business. It was a good run for a mom & pop business, longer than many expected, especially considering that Marcy had a stroke just one month after we started. We had a lot of nice employees, customers, and entertainers but there were too many factors working against us. Maybe we’ll write a book about it when things calm down, but basically we had too many expenses, not enough income, and way too much stress. Health problems are the primary cause of failure of small business, and we had to bail out before it killed one or both of us. So everybody take care while we do the same. Some day we’ll get back to making Marcy Burgers, presenting great performers and taking photos of them. In the meantime keep in touch. We’d love for you to share your memories of Cup & Saucer and we’d also love to hear about your progress, especially if you got your start on our stage. Please leave comments on our page so everyone can share.
