Here's what Karen had to say:

"After all The Aviary has been through, it's wonderful to see it alive and ready to celebrate its 10th anniversary this Easter long weekend — rising again, if you will (forgive me). I'm recommending Saturday night as I have a soft spot for Dylan Ella, but there are shows on April 2 and 3, too, and all of the lineups are fabulous."
