It's the perfect combination of neighborhood bar and charming hideaway, with friendly-but-don't-fuck-with-me bartenders, white tablecloths, and an affordable, delectable menu of mostly Italian comfort food. But even with those charms, the strong suit of the place is the live entertainment; the setting frequently draws in some of the area's best musicians for free shows. The regular gigs on Sunday nights, when the rickety house piano at the front of the room is taken over by some of the most skilled singer/songwriters, make it an ideal room for listening. Aside from a little low conversation and the occasional clink of a glass, people are there to listen, and what they're listening to is top-notch." less

After self-releasing a debut album in 2017, MyKey signed on with Warner Records and solidified his bedroom pop style on 2021 mixtape Welcome to the Witching Hour.MyKey was born Mikey Ambrosino in 1996 and entered the music world as a member of Gaithersburg, Maryland bluegrass band Flower Hill String Band. The traditional bluegrass ensemble was a far cry from the chilled-out pop he would later make on his own, but MyKey spent a decade playing guitar and singing in the group while working toward writing music of his own. In 2017, he issued Faces, a debut solo album with elements of Americana, alternative radio rock, and hints of the fusion of electronic styles and organic songwriting that would show up on later releases. Subsequent songs like "VHS" and "Was It Something I Said" (both released in 2019), saw a significant shift in styles, moving more toward loops, warped guitar samples, and airy hooks. In 2020, MyKey issued the track "Please Don't Go" and a remix of "Was It Something I Said" featuring Cavetown. The following year, he released "Sweet Tooth" on its own, and the song also appeared on the short mixtape Welcome to the Witching Hour, which collected nine of MyKey's self-produced tracks. less

It helped sell the movie but did not seem like such a big deal at the time. There were lots of movies before it with chase scenes. The thing that changed Hollywood for the next 25 years or so was that : A. the cars were filmed at real speed - 100 mph+. Before this they either speeded up the cameras and did not have other cars in the scene so it looked like the car was going fast although it was not or they had the "stars" in a car on the set and a fake back gound in back of them and all the stars had to remember was to turn the steering wheels once in a while. Such as Hollywood stardom and lack of care in editing that they were as likely as not to turn the wheel in the wrong direction than the road in the background would indicate they shoud turn it. B. there was a real star behind the wheel at speed. Steve put an end to all of of the fake stuff. Never again would an audiance be fooled by the fakeness (until the 1990's when computer generated chase scenes would take over.) So 1968 - 1990 or so was the golden age for car chase scenes - real cars on real roads at real speeds going real fast and with the very occasional real star behind the wheel (Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, James Garner). Now we come to Steve though. He was a real motor cycle racer - he also raced a Porsche 917 at Le Mans and made the movie Le Mans which is the best racing movie ever made (Grand Prix with James Garner the second best. So he was the genuine article and according to docmentaries that I have seen hated it when the movie sudios would make him accept a stunt double - he was too valuable to risk according to them, not to Steve. The best scene in the chase sequence has Steve missing a turn up a hill and smoking the tire (as apposed to tires - no posi traction) up the hill. According to the documantry, this was a mistake. Steve was actually dri less

Buy Tickets Share + Google Calendar Related Events Novulent Jun 19 Buy Tickets Mamas Gun Jun 20 Buy Tickets Artists Greg Mendez Greg Mendez has always been an economical songwriter – he wields restraint and simplicity as tools, the core of his songs sharpened into simple, cutting truths. On Beauty Land, his new album and debut LP for Dead Oceans, we’re guided by a wry but forgiving narrator, an underdog who has learned to balance cynicism and faith. These songs are self-effacing without self-pity, carefully constructed altars of imperfection channeled through pop melodies, shimmering but urgent guitars, and a voice that reaches for choir boy innocence. The bulk of Beauty Land was recorded directly to tape, almost entirely alone in Mendez’s makeshift home studio in Philadelphia - a small room with no natural light. It’s his first full length since his unexpected self-titled breakthrough in 2023, which was a slow burn success following 15 years of writing and recording music in relative obscurity between Philly and New York. Beauty Land picks up where we left off three years ago – plumbing the depths of grief, love, and addiction – but its intense, quiet clarity shows Mendez at his songwriting best. Parts of Beauty Land feel like a lucid dream, dented characters carve their way through a world that’s cartoonish and warped – the broken-clock march of “I Wanna Feel Pretty,” the chiming toy piano on “Gentle Love.” “Mary / Dreaming” begins as a sparse, finger-picked lament before cutting abruptly to a deflated, Beach-Boys-but-make-it-fucked-up resolution that brings both melancholy and joy; a sense that all things can be true at once. None of the 14 tracks here break three minutes, but they tell stories that span lifetimes. Death floats through the record, whether it appears as a memory or a threat. Everything f less

Those with a liner note obsession will remember Jinx’s playing on En Vogue’s “Free Your Mind.”(San Francisco Chronicle)Jinx Jones boasts a prolific career spanning from the 1990s, during which he has been a prominent figure in the San Francisco Bay Area jazz scene. His musical journey, deeply rooted in R&B and Soul collaborations with luminaries such as Solomon Burke and En Vogue, has laid a solid groundwork for his ventures into the realms of soul jazz and hard bop. Jones' distinctive approach to jazz is deeply influenced by the venerable traditions set forth by iconic guitarists such as Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, Barney Kessel, and George Benson.“You've heard fretboard prestidigitator Jinx before: he lent studio guitar and bass to En Vogue's hit, "Free Your Mind." Professionally impressive as it is, though, that credit does not represent his own chosen styling. Jinx's headlong endeavors draw freely and unto satiation from classic rocka-billy, vintage jazz, and spartan honky tonk….” D. C. Larson, Crackerjack Magazine, UKIn recent times, Jinx Jones has achieved international acclaim with the release of his latest solo jazz album, "Blue Gardenia." This album showcases his guitar artistry, striking a perfect balance between delicacy and energy, reminiscent of the soulful and profound styles of the genre's legendary masters.“Jinx Jones is out there. Four or five nights a week, the great guitar player with the immaculate pompadour can be found at various Bay Area venues, working the stage, doing his thing. The Colorado native came up serving as a sideman to rock ’n’ roll royalty, playing with the likes of Chuck Berry and Solomon Burke.”Aidin Vaziri, San Francisco Chronicle #block-542f953922dda97a109e { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-542f953922dda97a109e .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-542f953922dda97a109e { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-542f953922dda97a109e { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-542f953922dda97a109e { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-542f953922dda97a109e { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-542f953922dda97a109e .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } less

Accompanying herself on piano or Wurlitzer, Sami delivers dynamic, personal performances deeply steeped in the lineage of the great American singer-songwriters of the 60’s and 70’s. In 2023, Sami released her debut solo album ‘Morning’ on Sunnyside Records. Born from a love of classic American music and an ear for storytelling, ‘Morning’ showcases Stevens’ rich vocal delivery as it ebbs between intimate personal stories and stunning symphonic textures, treating the vastness of the human condition with painterly impressions and an empathetic disposition. Glide Magazine wrote “Sami Stevens did more than impress with her first solo outing, she quickly established herself as one of the most promising songwriters to appear in the past few years.” Sami is also an avid collaborator; fresh off of a two year run with nine-time Grammy winner Norah Jones on auxiliary keys and background vocals as Norah toured her 2024 release ‘Visions.’ Other ongoing collaborations include Rose Thorne by Kenny Wollesen, I Insist by Kazemde George, The Way I Feel Inside by Marty Isenberg, Brave New World by Tredici Bacci, and a new one woman show by John Zorn and Jesse Harris, currently in development.

Comprised of Steve Pike (vocals, guitar​), Ryan Fitzgibbon (vocals, guitar​), Jordan Emmert (bass​), and Eli Deitz (drums), they emerged from Austin’s DIY scene in 2022, with members having crossed paths over the years through previous projects. Drawing heavily from an eclectic mix of ‘80s and ‘90s guitar influences, their music is an exercise in tension and dynamics, creating a soundscape of angular riffs that range from delicate melodies to crushing walls of distortion. https://porcelainatx.bandcamp.com/album/harmony-b-w-torch Facet are a trio from Oakland that began in 2019.

Although he later enrolled in film school in California with the intention of making documentaries about rock climbing (one of his lifelong passions), he dropped out after one semester to focus on music full-time. Within weeks, he’d moved into a historic commune in Anaheim where he soon started his first band, a psychedelic folk-rock outfit named American Slang. “The commune was a crazy place to live—there were hippies and punks and skaters, all in this beautiful house that used to be on six acres of strawberry fields but now it’s surrounded by strip malls,” says Alex. “The house was owned by a professor who’d bought it in the mid-’60s and still lived there with his family, so it had this fascinating history with the anti-war movement and renowned civil-rights/psychedelic activists from that time. We’d have these big communal meals every day and debate art and God and food and politics. It was a pretty amazing place to live for a while.” less

He began releasing music around 2015, taking notes from Young Thug’s melodic strangeness and the inventive production styles of rappers who were rising to prominence as he grew up. He started out using the moniker Lil Yeat , but shortened it to Yeat in 2018. That year, he released his first mixtape, Deep Blue Strips . From then on, he was in hyperdrive. As his fame skyrocketed, Yeat released the mixtapes Alivë and 4L , and the Trëndi EP, before the release of his first proper studio album. Up 2 Më was issued in September 2021 followed by a second studio LP, 2 Alivë , in early 2022. Just last year, Yeat was tapped by superstar Drake to collaborate on record “IDGAF” which is featured on Drake ’s album For All The Dogs . The song, which was an instant hit, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #1 on the Billboard Global 200. Recently, Yeat ‘s LYFESTYLE reached #1 on the Billboard 200 chart selling 89K equivalent album units –– LYFESTYLE marked Yeat ’s fourth entry into the Top 10 in only two years.

Thus begins the stunning power strum elegance of The Spatula's newest album A Blue Dot. The Spatulas is essentially Miranda Soileau-Pratt and whomever she enlists to bring her vision to fruition. This all began in Oregon, where earlier releases like March Chant and Beehive Mind shimmered with the bedroom ache of Beyond the Implode and the wobble-psych magic of Garbage and the Flowers. But while those elements have not vanished, A Blue Dot is a whole 'nother beast entirely. A relocation to Cambridge Mass, and a necessary change in personnel, has transformed what was once a steady glimmering looseness with full-bore rock dynamisms. The new lineup (guitarist Luke Einsiedler, bassist Elijah Bodish, and drummer Greg Witz) has tightened their sound into a loud mass of tough and moody jangle explosion. The post-NZ glory pop of Barbara Manning's SF Seals is in here, as is dense swirl of Rain Parade. Expertly recorded at Suddenly Studio by Emily Robb, mixed by Evan Mersky, and mastered into full cohesion by Sarah Register, the whole thing sounds loud and proud.” -Max Milgram https://mirandaspatula.bandcamp.com/album/a-blue-dot https://www.instagram.com/miranda_the_spatulas/ Famous Mammals On their debut tape the seeds were sown for what has blossomed on this LP as a fully pollinated orchard of hybridized post punk that seemingly harkens back to the halcyon days when Rough Trade called 202 Kensington Park Road home.

He is deeply rooted in the “Carrier” family tradition, where music has always been a passion and implemented into much of their families past time. He embraces both his family tradition as well as his Cajun Creole Culture. Dwight has always had a unique style that infuses his zydeco, blues, country and R&B influences. Growing up in the small town of Church Point, LA in a time where rap music was gaining momentum, Dwight’s friends would laugh when he and his brother Joseph chose not to take that route. Initially, Joseph played the accordion while Dwight played the drums. It was after many relentless hours of practicing with his brother that Dwight grew restless. He yearned to play the accordion. It was with much practice, passion and determination that Dwight not only learned to play the accordion but was he able to play it well. He and Joseph switched instruments and Dwight Carrier & the Zydeco Rockers was created. In 1988, at the age of 14, Dwight recorded his ‑R&B 45 LP entitled “My Baby Left Me”, earning him local status, playing frequently on the zydeco circuit at trailrides and dance halls in and around the state of Louisiana. He realized that his friends were no longer laughing, but instead, were asking him to teach them to play. Dwight is one of the few Zydeco musicians with the ability to travel to a city, pick up a band of local musicians and produce a sound equivalent to that of artists working together for years. The ability to do this, allows him the ­flexibility to perform in places that may otherwise, not be economically feasible and still able to share traditional zydeco along with treating people to a great time. Dwight is a party band leader and his show less

With her three-octave range, sure sense of rhythm, and perfect intonation, she can scat convincingly, swing like a horn, and write hip songs worthy of attention from other vocalists. She has produced three CDs as a leader: Siren Song (2005), Live at Anna’s Jazz Island (2008), and her 2022 release Lotus Blossom Days. Jazz writer Marc Myers said, "Vicki's voice on Lotus Blossom Days is warm and round, sophisticated and optimistic with shades of blue. She also takes terrific risks that pay off.” As a performer, Vicki Burns has been delighting audiences for years with her impeccable taste and glorious tone. She has performed at some of the top jazz clubs and festivals around the country, opened for Billy Taylor and Max Roach in the “Bright Moments” Concert series in Amherst, MA., and she was featured on “Music America,” a syndicated WGBH public radio broadcast. She currently performs regularly in NYC at Birdland, Iridium Jazz Club, Jazz at Kitano, The Plaza Hotel, Zinc Bar and Mezzrow. Burns has found success because she infuses each song with heartfelt expression, digging into the lyrics and melody to reveal their richness. It is a formula that has garnered her many fans and the respect of her peers, which is why Max Roach once described Burns’ singing as “a gold mine.” “Brilliant vocals by Vicki… she can cast a love spell and she is, after all, quite the siren herself. An amazing range and you can hear the joy, the melancholy, the rapture, the devastation and all are equally convincing. Perhaps that is the final word on such a great talent as Vicki Burns, she is convincing.” The Jazz Owl by Travis Rogers, Jr. “Like a master chef, Burns figures out what she needs to add to make the music delectable to the ear without overdoing it with unnecessary additives.” – All About Jazz Featuring John Di Martino-piano, Sam Bevan-Bass, Tim Bulkley-Drums, and Special guest Noel Jewkes saxophone Tickets at Vicki Burns Quintet less

With over three decades of performing and recording, he has collaborated with jazz legends including Roy Haynes, the Brecker Brothers, Pat Metheny, Chris Potter, and the Charles Mingus Big Band, establishing himself as a sought-after presence on the global jazz scene. Blending bebop, post-bop, and contemporary jazz, Kikoski’s dynamic, spontaneous, and deeply swinging style continues to inspire audiences worldwide. Dave and Smitty were contemporaries at Berklee College of Music in Boston in the early 1980s, and Ralph was already active on the Boston scene at the time, so Dave played with both Ralph and Smitty during those years. Dave and Ralph later crossed paths again through Roy Haynes' band and recorded together in the late 1980s. Although their paths diverged for many years, they renewed their collaboration in 2025 with a month-long European tour, followed by a new recording project and performances in Northern California and British Columbia in early 2026. Dave and Smitty also reunited on vibraphonist John Locke's 1993 recording Wire Walker When plans for the Black Cat residency came together, Dave reached out to Ralph, and the two of them invited Smitty to revisit those longstanding musical connections. Rob, from a younger generation and active on the Los Angeles scene, came highly recommended by Ralph.

After graduating from Way… more Ashby was born Dorothy Jeanne Thompson in Detroit in 1932. She grew up in a family connected to Detroit's jazz scene and was playing piano at a young age. After graduating from Wayne State University with a major in piano, Ashby switched her main instrument from piano to harp around 1952. At the time, harp was seldom seen in jazz circles and largely considered more of a classical instrument. Ashby pioneered jazz harp, working with saxophonist/flutist Frank Wess on 1957's The Jazz Harpist and two 1958 outings, Hip Harp and In a Minor Groove, to find a sound that let harp lead standards and bop numbers. This approach was all but unheard of at the time, and Ashby continued releasing harp-centered jazz albums throughout the '60s, including efforts like 1965's The Fantastic Jazz Harp of Dorothy Ashby for Atlantic Records. In the late '60s, Ashby's music expanded somewhat, incorporating more wide-reaching styles on the psychedelic soul jazz of 1968's monumental Afro-Harping and 1969's Dorothy's Harp. In 1970, she released the even more experimental album The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby, which found her playing both harp and koto on funky, somewhat orchestral soul jazz tracks. The album even found Ashby singing on a few tracks, and a larger band was arranged and conducted by Richard Evans. Throughout the '70s and into the '80s, Ashby played harp on records by Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, Stanley Turrentine, and Minnie Riperton, among many other jazz and soul greats, and she released a few more records of her own before dying of cancer in 1986. less

It's the perfect combination of neighborhood bar and charming hideaway, with friendly-but-don't-fuck-with-me bartenders, white tablecloths, and an affordable, delectable menu of mostly Italian comfort food. But even with those charms, the strong suit of the place is the live entertainment; the setting frequently draws in some of the area's best musicians for free shows. The regular gigs on Sunday nights, when the rickety house piano at the front of the room is taken over by some of the most skilled singer/songwriters, make it an ideal room for listening. Aside from a little low conversation and the occasional clink of a glass, people are there to listen, and what they're listening to is top-notch." less

With over three decades of performing and recording, he has collaborated with jazz legends including Roy Haynes, the Brecker Brothers, Pat Metheny, Chris Potter, and the Charles Mingus Big Band, establishing himself as a sought-after presence on the global jazz scene. Blending bebop, post-bop, and contemporary jazz, Kikoski’s dynamic, spontaneous, and deeply swinging style continues to inspire audiences worldwide. Dave and Smitty were contemporaries at Berklee College of Music in Boston in the early 1980s, and Ralph was already active on the Boston scene at the time, so Dave played with both Ralph and Smitty during those years. Dave and Ralph later crossed paths again through Roy Haynes' band and recorded together in the late 1980s. Although their paths diverged for many years, they renewed their collaboration in 2025 with a month-long European tour, followed by a new recording project and performances in Northern California and British Columbia in early 2026. Dave and Smitty also reunited on vibraphonist John Locke's 1993 recording Wire Walker When plans for the Black Cat residency came together, Dave reached out to Ralph, and the two of them invited Smitty to revisit those longstanding musical connections. Rob, from a younger generation and active on the Los Angeles scene, came highly recommended by Ralph.
