Sure, you could stay home. But you’d miss the chance to tell your friends, “I saw Jessica King at Bird & Beckett before she became A Star.” Because Jessica is on her way for certain. She’s studied her craft from the inside out, but, even better, she’s made friends with the songs she sings, so her music is warm and welcoming. She started in the Bay Area swing dance community, so she knows her rhythm.
Jessic
Lucky for us, both Clint (on whatever instruments he feels like bringing to the gig) and pianist Jeff Hamilton will be playing alongside Jessica. Both of them are swing and jazz masters with worldwide reputations. Their music is down-home and groovy but also delicate and precise, inventive and mellow.
Jeff and Clint have worked often with Jessica, and you’ll see the three of them smiling at each other throughout the evening.
Start the good works!

Hot off the press from your neighborhood bookshop just in time for the lame duck period. 75 million voters, and counting, have rejected fascism and lies. 70 million haven’t yet made that commitment. Bully Goat’s Bluff might change a few of their minds.
Fits nicely in an invitation envelope for mailing. Fits in a pocket as well.
