Coming up in early September

Poets + an open mic on the first Thursday of each month: 9/4 at 7pm, the featured poets are Breakfast & Kazue Watanabe…

The Actual Trio w/John Schott, Dan Seamans, John Hanes play Friday 9/5 at 8:30pm… Saturday 9/6 at 7:30pm, guitarist Karl Evangelista’s Bukas: Francis Wong & Lewis Jordan, saxes; Rei Scampavia, keys; Lisa Mezzacappa, bass; Donald Robinson, drums

Saxophonist Steve Carrington’s trio plays Wednesday 9/10 at 7:30pm…

Thursday 9/11 at 7pm, it’s Tango No. 9 plus They Might be Hillbillies — a double bill!…

The Jim Bruno Trio, with Jim Barnes & Andrew Sisco play Bird & Beckett Sunday 9/14 at 5pm

Eric & the In Crowd Go to the Movies on Friday 9/12 at 6pm, followed by Greg Gotelli’s San Francisco Quintet at 8:30pm… Stephen Lugerner’s SLUGish Ensemble on Saturday 9/13 at 7:30pm…

Jim Bruno, Americana singer/songwriter, brings his trio Sunday 9/14 at 5pm…

That’s enough for the first half of September.

Note that we’ve had to postpone a planned 9/4 booking for vintage guitarist Nick Rossi and his Swing four in deference to a to-do he’s involved in at the Mark Hopkins on Saturday, September 5th, celebrating the third anniversary of his first-Saturdays-of-the-month residency there. You should catch him at the Mark Hopkins, one of the most elegant spots in town!

Harvey Wainapel is coming up in the third weekend of September at Bird & Beckett and Lisa Mezzacappa and Darren Johnston have consecutive shows planned for the fourth weekend… lots of great stuff ahead!
