Eric Shifrin has been wowing the swells and the swindlers in San Francisco for decades, from the commonest saloon to the most pretentious salon, in the bars and the ballrooms, anywhere folks gather to remind themselves what it is to be in with the in crowd!

Tonight, Eric’s In Crowd comprises the great percussionist Raul Ramirez, from the Peruvian port city of Callao, and the unflappable bassist Heath Proskin, assaying a batch of tunes with a tropical lilt. Eric himself hails from Malibu, spent memorable years in Hawaii while still an alto player, and honed his chops on piano in Japan. The trade winds brought him here with his wife Kotomi some years ago, and we’re the better for it.

Set your sail for Bird & Beckett for two sets of convivial camaraderie and terrific live music. Bring a friend, something to sip, and a twenty for the band. There’s nothing that’s better than this!
