i don't know if there are any other new yorkers in
this tribe, but if you're a new yorker and love carla,
you've been to tonic. since the fibbers broke up,
tonic has probably hosted more shows featuring carla -
scarnella shows, improv shows, a straight performance
of red headed stranger, a show on the rhs tour that took
place the next year, and two shows in the past few months -
a show in which a smaller version of what's become
the night porter previewed some new songs, and the
show the day after new years in which carla read and
sang poetry with a small improv group. no venue in
ny has been more supportive or more willing to showcase
both carla and nels.

HELP SAVE TONIC!
Since 1998 Tonic has been a haven for creative music.
We have helped nurture the vital community of musicians and audiences who keep this music alive. Now we are in danger of closing and ask you to help us keep Tonic alive.
Over the past few years we have suffered a series of blows: our rent has doubled since 1998, our insurance costs have tripled,
we’ve been robbed, and we’ve been plagued by the expense of
maintaining a building in ill repair –
including the collapse of our main sewer line.
Any of these things would be challenging on their own
but together they’ve taken a more serious toll and we are now facing the threat of eviction.
A number of outstanding musicians have come forward to
help save Tonic and throughout February we will be holding
a series of fundraising concerts. If Tonic has been an important venue to you, we ask that you please attend as many
of these concerts as possible.
Those who cannot attend but would like to help, please consider making a contribution.
For Tonic to survive we will need to raise a upwards of $100,000 in the next few weeks.
Only with your support can Tonic continue playing its role in presenting this important music to its fans.
Our deepest thanks.
