Mitchell101 Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 Super pumped for this. Sneak would be all over this on The List if it were in NYC. https://marignyoperahouse.org/upcoming-events/siren-night-at-the-marigny-opera-house-with-maggie-koerner-friends/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood Posted February 10, 2024 Share Posted February 10, 2024 Oh man, Black Pumas at the Wiltern Friday night. Just amazingly soulful. Opener was Reverend Baron who came off in solo format with some taped accompaniment as a very low key Chris Isaak. This tight lineup of the band includes the two principals, two drummers, a keyboard player, a bassist and two dynamite backup singers. This was essentially the setlist: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/black-pumas/2024/fox-theater-oakland-ca-bac6596.html with "Dock of the Bay" subbed for "Angel" in the encores. Lighting was very coordinated to the songs. Really on point. All in all the Pumas provided 90 minutes of great music. In a proper world these folks would be playing the Super Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanieL Posted February 26, 2024 Share Posted February 26, 2024 Not going to this, but I'm tickled that Van Morrison is still going strong and playing at Bimbo's 365 tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchW Posted February 29, 2024 Share Posted February 29, 2024 Last night, celebrating the 30th Anniversary of The Wheel... From our not favored seats, Rosanne Cash. The Wheel's song reverted back to Rosanne after a mere 30 years, and she's calling this tour Reinventing the Wheel... She did tell a funny story about her dad advising her about becoming a "country" singer. He gave her a list of songs she ought to know in order to help her achieve that goal; the list had 100 songs on it...she was like 7 years old.

Mitchell101 Posted March 26, 2024 Share Posted March 26, 2024 (edited) 4 weeks to go for Jazzfest and the music schedule came out today. Where should I plant my ass over 8 days of music: https://www.nojazzfest.com/downloads/2024-nojhf-8day-cubes.pdf And what should I eat? https://www.nojazzfest.com/food/ My two faves are Crawfish Strudel and the Cochon de Lait Poboy.

StephanieL Posted April 29, 2024 Share Posted April 29, 2024 In honor of Freedom Day and the 30th anniversary of South Africa's first free elections, SF Jazz brought several South African musicians to town. On Saturday night, we saw singer Melanie Scholtz and pianist Aaron Rimbui perform a tribute to Miriam Makeba. Scholtz has a terrific voice and stage presence, and did Mama Africa proud. Yesterday was one of the legends of SA jazz, saxophonist McCoy Mrubata. N knew his music quite well, and I really enjoyed his playing plus that of his guitarist (who had a 7-string guitar--never seen one of those before). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 Words and Music last night, at National Sawdust, for the Grammy Museum.

Wilfrid Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 In case anyone needs to know my cool Nick Lowe story, I saw him and Dave Edmunds at an industry party pick up acoustic guitars and sing a set of Everly Brothers songs. I also saw Rockpile a bunch of times of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was also a little sad talking about Dave, and what a recluse he is...he misses him. Note the album that EC is holding here... This picture was taken at the classic record store Village Music in Mill Valley - I want to say around 1985, when a friend and I were shopping at Village Music and they happened to pop in.

Wilfrid Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 Well done Billy. Edmunds has always seemed uncomfortable with fame and touring, but I guess at 80 he's allowed to be retired. I last saw him at The Bottom Line (so that has to be more than 20 years ago). It was billed as a solo gig, and he played a set of instrumental guitar pieces. Right at the end he brought out just a brass section and ripped through a bunch of the big hits. "Crawling from the Wreckage" was amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
