Rick Busbea

On Friday, April 24, Rick Busbea performs on the BV Restaurant Kitchen Patio Stage in front of the Verde Lux Hotel in Cottonwood, AZ.

Rick Busbea's music is categorized as Country Rock, but that's misleading as he plays a wide variety of music - everything from Willie Nelson to Michael Jackson (even an LMFAO song). He developed a notebook called Rick's Jukebox that gives the audience the power to decide the music. This results in a lively, audience-participation evening with the music genre constantly changing. He is a consummate professional and audiences love him.

BV’s is located at 301 AZ-89A, Cottonwood, AZ 86326 • Phone: (928) 277-8467.

Christy Fisher

On Saturday, April 25, Christy performs on the BV Restaurant Kitchen Patio Stage in front of the Verde Lux Hotel in Cottonwood, AZ.

Award winning singer/songwriter, Christy Fisher, is a "one girl band" that brings a show full of pop, rock, soul, groove - and good vibes! Putting a twist on the 70s to present, her show covers forgotten favorites from artists like R.E.M.,The Eurythmics, and Elvis Costello as well as the best of Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Linda Ronstadt ; The Eagles, and many more

Her original songs won an album of the year award from the International Singer and Songwriters Association.

Robin Miller and Patrick Ki to Perform Beneath the Stars at BV’s Italian Kitchen Patio

Minstrels Robin Miller and Patrick Ki will be performing at BV’s Italian Kitchen Patio on Thursday, April 23, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Miller, known throughout Northern Arizona as a quintessential performer, songwriter and entertainer, is a masterful guitarist and seasoned vocalist who enthralls his audience with the beauty of his songs and delivery.

He is a recording artist with more than a dozen albums under his belt. He is one of the most respected and loved musicians in Arizona, with decades of performing in the community.

He is a virtuoso guitar player playing with numerous bands in the area including the ever-popular Green Light Dance Band.

When he plays, he puts his entire soul into every performance. He is a local favorite with a huge following.

With his guitar or ukulele resting easily in hand, Patrick Ki has become one of the sonic pillars in the area.

His sound is a gentle alchemy — Hawaiian warmth meeting Latin sparkle, flamenco fire blending with the hush of American acoustic. The result isn’t fusion for novelty’s sake; it’s fusion as identity. His phrasing flows with unforced grace, his tone feels honest and human, and the mood is unmistakably his own.

Both musicians playing together as a duo weave a magic spell that audiences fall under as they are taken through a musical journey through time and space that they will never forget.

Make it a point to go this this Thursday to BV’s Italian Kitchen Patio, listen to the music and enjoy a great meal and evening beneath the stars.

Her original songs won an album of the year award from the International Singer and Songwriters Association. An audio engineer and multi-instrumentalist, she creates percussion and accompaniment effects that go far beyond a “solo girl with a guitar”. Her powerful vocals have been described as “Grace Slick and Annie Lennox with a bit of Ella on the side”

The Van Reed Brothers can play just about anything one can come up with. These two players elevate live music two new heights. Sax vs. Guitar weave a dance one cannot help but fall in love with. These guys are the real deal. They rock!

So, make it a point to spend a night beneath the stars at BV’s Italian Kitchen Patio and immerse yourself in great live music and delicious Italian food.
