Puzzle Of Light to play Coco’s on Thursday, July 24 2008

Publicity photo of Puzzle of Light

Michael and Sandy Bashaw are a Dayton original when it comes to music, much as Coco’s Bistro in the Oregon District is an original when it comes to food.

On Thursday, July 24th, Michael and Sandy will bring their eclectic soulful sound to Coco’s. Weather permitting they’ll play on the patio, if not, they’ll play inside. It should make for a wonderful evening of food and music.

About Puzzle Of Light: Bios and Background
PUZZLE OF LIGHT is the name of the performance group of Michael & Sandy Bashaw. While the personnel varies, PUZZLE OF LIGHT always includes musicians with individual musical backgrounds and experience ranging from jazz and rock to ethnic and world music. These blended influences produce a distinctive “New World” sound that is both original and familiar; a repertoire that is traditional and experimental. The current group’s instrumentation includes Michael Bashaw on flutes, harmonica, whistles, vocals, kalimbas, balafons, and exotic handmade instruments; Sandy Bashaw on guitar, melodica, kalimbas and vocals; Dick Roll on electric bass; John Taylor on drums; and Erich Reith on percussion. Their educational programs use instruments from all over the world to illustrate traditional musical forms and to introduce improvisational concepts.

They’ll play from 7-10. Reservations are recommended but not required.

Coco’s tops Dayton Business Journal’s “Dayton Restaurants & Dayton Dining Guide”

Of the top 5 suggestions, we were listed first and were the least expensive of all.

Dayton Restaurants & Dayton Dining Guide

Average price of dinner and drinks for one: $30

Located in Dayton’s Oregon Historic District and seven blocks from the convention center, Coco’s Bistro serves hearty contemporary American fare at reasonable prices. Coco’s decor is stylish and comfortable. Reservations are recommended for dinner. The bar is usually full. At lunchtime, Coco’s is crowded with business people who know one another. You may run into the mayor. Or you may see Coco herself, the young daughter of the owners, who live nearby.

We really appreciate being known as the place to meet for a business lunch downtown, it’s nice to be a part of all the exciting things that are happening in Dayton.

We also have our patio- which is always a great option when it’s nice outside.

Thanks Dayton Business Journal for including us in your Dining Guide!

Coco’s to be closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday July 4-6 2008

Coco’s will be closed this Friday, July 4, Saturday, July 5 and our normal closed Sunday on July 6.

We’ll look forward to seeing you on Monday, July 7!

Have a great weekend!

If Coco’s is your favorite summer patio- let the Dayton Daily News know!

Outdoor dining has always been a part of Coco’s in the Oregon District- if it’s nice out, it’s always full.

Coco’s in the community

Car wash for Charity at Coco’s Bistro in Dayton.

We hosted the Horace Mann 6th grade classes car wash on Saturday, March 10, to raise money for a school trip.

We love being a part of the Dayton community as a place to meet, but also a place to pull together and get things done. We’re always open to discuss ways we can help, so please, feel free to call Karin with your ideas.  (She’s in the picture, helping wash).
