Tuesday, April 27th, 2010Berkshire Shareholder Weekend Entertainment Pt. 2
Friday, April 23rd, 2010On Sunday morning of the Berkshire Weekend (May 2nd), we invite you to wind down with us. As always, Borsheims will host a delicious brunch starting at 9am along with a day of shopping and shareholder discounts.
This year we are proud to announce that the brunch will feature entertainment from the Notes of the Round Table jazz band, a student run jazz group from the Westside High School Jazz Program. They are a selective group of student musicians that have worked with notable musicians including: Wynton Marsalis, Eric Mariental, Bela Fleck, Chris Vadala, Allen Vizzutti, Mike Vax and many more. Many of these student musicians have been part of the Nebraska All-State Jazz Band for the past three years.
We have enjoyed the musical stylings of Westside High School Jazz groups in the past, including the band pictured above from 2008
See you soon,

Berkshire Shareholder Weekend Entertainment Pt. 1
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010Hello Berkshire Weekenders,
If you come to the Berkshire Shareholder’s Weekend every year, then you already know how much fun it is. If this will be your first year, I hope you are ready for two and a half days of capitalist partying. On this blog, we like to make all sorts of announcements (discounts, events, parties) about the upcoming Berkshire Weekend (April 30th-May 2nd).
We are happy to announce what bands will be playing at Borsheims over Berkshire weekend. On Friday night, at the Borsheims Cocktail Reception from 6-10pm, Soul Dawg will be entertaining in the tent.
The following info was taken from Soul Dawg’s Facebook Fan Page.Soul Dawg is a funk/rock band from the Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska area. This 7-piece group is comprised of an extremely tight rhythm section and a screaming 3-piece horn section that features the premier saxophone soloist in the area. The band’s singing talents are exceptional too, with lush 3 & 4-part vocal harmonies to back one of the Midwest’s finest male lead singers.Soul Dawg’s musical repertoire includes Top 10/soul/funk/R&B music from the 60s & 70s, including the songs of Earth, Wind, & Fire, Ohio Players, the Commodores, Kool & the Gang, and Stevie Wonder, to name a few.
Soul Dawg has been playing in the Omaha/Lincoln area for over 11 years, with a growing following. Since 2000, the band has played events with crowds in excess of 5,000 people, such as Ribfest and the Nebraska State Fair in Lincoln and the summer concert series of Village Pointe, Shadow Lake, and South Pointe malls in Omaha and Lincoln. The band has received high acclaim from area club owners, having played shows to capacity crowds at many large venues in southeast Nebraska.Can’t wait to see you at the party Friday night!
Best,
