5/17/26, Sunday, 5pm: The Vince Lateano Trio with guest vocalist Ernest East.
($20 suggested donation, students $10 suggested; pay what you can).
Singer Ernest East has been on the scene off and on for five decades and never fails to charm; we’re always glad to invite him back. Come discover a hidden treasure!
As for Vince Lateano, he’s been a genial force here in San Francisco since he rousted out of the army in 1965 and moved into town in 1966; he’s been featured at Bird & Beckett since we got rolling in 1999.
Nowadays, Vince has a 6X per year residency with his trio (Ben Stolorow, piano; Peter Barshay, bass) on the 3rd Sunday of each month in the odd numbered months (May, July, September, November, January, March).
The trio returns to conduct a jam session on the last Sunday of each month, in the same 5-7pm time slot.

We need sponsors and underwriters for our weekly Sunday programming, so that we can pay the musicians a fair guaranteed wage for their work while keeping the admission bar low for those with limited means. Might you offer your support? Whether you’re an individual or the representative of a corporation or family foundation, call Eric, the bookshop proprietor, at the shop — 415-586-3733, or email [email protected].
