BIRD & BECKETT CULTURAL LEGACY PROJECT

Sunday, November 23rd – 7pm
The Maurice Tani Band

It’s been pointed out that singer-songwriter Maurice Tani has a tendency toward long titles… This evening, he and pianist Henry Salvia will be joined by bassist Greg Kehret and drummist Ken “KO” Owen at Bird & Beckett in old King Cisco for a set Tani has given the sprawlingly verbose title “Sangoire: Dark Songs of Romance. Rumination on matters of organized crime, the fashion industry and unrequited love.” 
 
A sample here: Take Me With You When You Go Too Far 

A rye-to-wry guitarslingin’ songwriter, Frisco native Maurice Tani’s supercaliofornigraphic worldview comes from the KYA signal of his childhood, the ’68 Haight Street vibe of his youth, workingman’s Texas roadhouses for 5 sets a night, 7 days a week, top 40, soul, hard rock and country music depending on the venue, his return to the potato patch fog bank, Divisadero, Roy Loney’s Phantom Movers, fifty more years of amazing songwriting, club dates with his bands Calamity and Main, 77 El Deora in its permutations and innumerable duo afternoons at Bird & Beckett with the American bassist Mike Anderson.

For the full band experience tonight, bring a twenty and something to sip.

Direct your complaints to the management.

7pm to 9pm. Don’t be early, and don’t be late!
