DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Steve Taylor-Ramírez brings his critically acclaimed 
 folk, acoustic soul and Latin hillbilly tunes back to the Plough and the 
 Stars Pub, 116 Clement Street (at 2nd Avenue), in San Francisco, 94118, on 
 Wed., November 14, starting at 9 pm.  There's no cover charge, and he'll 
 play two sets.  \n \nA close cousin to the Starry Plough Pub in Berkeley, 
 The Plough and the Stars was voted “Best Irish Pub” by the SF Weekly 
 and bills itself as “Home of Traditional Irish Music in the Bay Area.” 
 \n\nFor more information, visit http://www.theploughandstars.com, or call 
 (415) 751-1122.  \n\nThe pub takes its name from images (a plough 
 symbolizing new beginnings and stars connoting lofty ideals) that appeared 
 on the flag of the Irish Citizen Army, which defended workers' rights and 
 fought the British for independence in 1916.  ICA member Seán O'Casey 
 wrote a play about the uprising and titled it “The Plough and the 
 Stars.”\n\nTaylor-Ramírez is known for his guitar style and socially 
 conscious lyrics.  See: http://www.myspace.com/thestevetaylor\n\n"Critic's 
 Choice: Fancy finger picking, weathered vocals ... charisma ... socially 
 conscious originals," wrote j. poet, music critic for the East Bay Express, 
 as well as No Depression, Harp, Paste and other magazines.  
 \n\n“Steve’s a finger-pickin’ pro with songs of revolution and 
 love,” wrote Kaitlin McGaw of The Recording Academy (the San Francisco 
 GRAMMY office).\n\nTaylor-Ramírez' tunes have also received praise from 
 personalities such as critic Joel Selvin of the San Francisco Chronicle; 
 Billboard Award-winning producer Eddie Galan of Trilogy Productions; Alan 
 Kalter, announcer of The Late Show with David Letterman; Corey Mason of 
 worldOneradio (KECG, 88.1 FM); and bluegrass GRAMMY winner Laurie Lewis. 
 \n\nAudiences compare his work to that of Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Leonard 
 Cohen. His songs have aired on KECG 88.1 FM, KUSF 90.3 FM and KYCY 1550 AM. 
 He's performed live on KUSF. \n\n"I like music that has an edge," he says," 
 songs that deliver a message, a story, and a bit of humor. I love our 
 old-time Americana artists, such as the Carter Family and Hank Williams; 
 sixties folk-rockers Bob Dylan and The Byrds; as well as blues pioneers 
 John Lee Hooker, Lightin Hopkins and Jimmy Reed. The work of classic 
 Mexican ranchera songwriters and singers -- such as José Alfredo Jiménez, 
 Miguel Acéves Mejía and Javier Solís -- has long held my interest as 
 well." \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/10/24/18455718.php
