King of the San Francisco saloon and salon pianists, Eric Shifrin sings too, and rolls through material from Cole Porter to Hoagy Carmichael to Gene Autry. Â
He’s been charming the swells, swindlers and stand-up guys in bars and bistros from the Barbary Coast to Nob Hill for decades and shows no signs of flagging.
Our live stream will keep you smiling this Friday evening… tune in!
And pay the cover charge (donate) if you’re able to help us pay this fine musician!
Reward Eric for a sterling talent and a distinguished career
and also help him meet the bills in this time of few gigs and short bread!
If you find $10 a stretch, then contribute $5. Consider it your cover charge, please.
There’s no audience in the house, so it’s up to you in your house!
