Start next week early and fun -- join us Sunday evening at North Beach's hippest dive! (Technically it's Chinatown but we know better.)

Just south of the intersection of Broadway and Columbus, up a tiny alley next to pricey Tosca and across from jam-packed Vesuvio and Ferlinghetti's reknowned City Lights bookstore nestles Specs. It was once rated Best North Beach Bar by SF Weekly and called "the quintessential San Francisco hangout."

Friendly, cozy, museum-like eclectic collection of historic memorabilia, great bartender, no annoying TV, and best of all, live jazz and pop standards.

The band: the legendary Valeriana Quevedo (Beach Blanket Babylon) accompanied by Alan Steger on piano and Dan Keller on bass.

San Francisco's best restaurants are in the area... have dinner, and then join us and get next week started right!

Crooner Rich Kalman pens:

The ELVIS SHOW: A Rock 'n Roll Party!       Details.

"Well it's one for the money... Two for the show... Three to get ready... Now, go cat go!" Mark your calendar for the new ELVIS SHOW: A ROCK N' ROLL PARTY! A familiar face on the San Francisco cabaret scene for the last few years, Bradley "Memphis" Cotton appears with his rock n' roll/blues group, The Beale Street Band. Cotton, who was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee (hence the nickname) created the show as a tribute to the King of Rock N' Roll. The evening will feature a lineup of hits from the Las Vegas phase of Elvis' career.

The Beale Street Band includes "The Dapper Tapper of the Ivories" Gary Neuman on keyboards, Dan Keller on stand-up bass, and Memphis Cotton himself crooning a la King. Familiar tunes will include Blue Suede Shoes, Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, All Shook Up, and many, many more. Memphis Cotton gives the audience a glimpse of Elvis' hometown with a walk down Beale Street to hear the songs that launched rock n' roll and rewrote American music history. The show is sure to please blues, rock, and cabaret audiences alike.

The ELVIS SHOW: A Rock 'n Roll Party!       Details.

"Well it's one for the money... Two for the show... Three to get ready... Now, go cat go!" Mark your calendar for the new ELVIS SHOW: A ROCK N' ROLL PARTY! A familiar face on the San Francisco cabaret scene for the last few years, Bradley "Memphis" Cotton appears with his rock n' roll/blues group, The Beale Street Band. Cotton, who was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee (hence the nickname) created the show as a tribute to the King of Rock N' Roll. The evening will feature a lineup of hits from the Las Vegas phase of Elvis' career.

The Beale Street Band includes "The Dapper Tapper of the Ivories" Gary Neuman on keyboards, Dan Keller on stand-up bass, and Memphis Cotton himself crooning a la King. Familiar tunes will include Blue Suede Shoes, Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, All Shook Up, and many, many more. Memphis Cotton gives the audience a glimpse of Elvis' hometown with a walk down Beale Street to hear the songs that launched rock n' roll and rewrote American music history. The show is sure to please blues, rock, and cabaret audiences alike.

Axum East With the demise of Pearl's you thought jazz was dead in San Francisco?

So did we, until we discovered Axum East. Great food, full bar, no cover, and some of the hippest music in town. Ok, we're biased... but check out this review in The Wave, "The Bay Area's Best Entertainment Mag":

Traditional Ethiopian is delicious, filling, spicy, healthy, sloppy, mushy, slippery and sultry. It's designed to be shared without utensils, which makes it the perfect communal or intimate date affair. And... the whole experience is set to live jazz in one of the hippest, most authentically renovated spaces in all of San Francisco.
(We especially like the part about "torchy vocalist Cathy Felter...")

The ELVIS SHOW: A Rock 'n Roll Party!

"Well it's one for the money... Two for the show... Three to get ready... Now, go cat go!" Mark your calendar for the new ELVIS SHOW: A ROCK N' ROLL PARTY! A familiar face on the San Francisco cabaret scene for the last few years, Bradley "Memphis" Cotton appears with his rock n' roll/blues group, The Beale Street Band. Cotton, who was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee (hence the nickname "Memphis") put together the show as a tribute to the King of Rock N' Roll - Elvis Presley. The evening will feature a lineup of hits from the Las Vegas phase of Elvis' career.

The Beale Street Band includes "The Dapper Tapper of the Ivories" Gary Neuman on keyboards, Dan Keller on stand-up bass, and Memphis Cotton himself crooning a la King. Familiar tunes will include Blue Suede Shoes, Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, All Shook Up, and many, many more. Memphis Cotton gives the audience a glimpse of Elvis' hometown with a walk down Beale Street to hear the songs that launched rock n' roll and rewrote American music history. The show is sure to please blues, rock, and cabaret audiences alike.

Disaster! Memphis' flight has been delayed... the big show (tickets sold out!) is postponed... stay tuned!

The ELVIS SHOW: A Rock 'n Roll Party!

"Well it's one for the money... Two for the show... Three to get ready... Now, go cat go!" Mark your calendar for the new ELVIS SHOW: A ROCK N' ROLL PARTY! A familiar face on the San Francisco cabaret scene for the last few years, Bradley "Memphis" Cotton appears with his rock n' roll/blues group, The Beale Street Band. Cotton, who was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee hence the nickname "Memphis", put together the show as a tribute to the King of Rock N' Roll - Elvis Presley. The evening will feature a lineup of hits from the Las Vegas phase of Elvis' career.

The Beale Street Band includes "The Dapper Tapper of the Ivories" Gary Neuman on keyboards, Dan Keller on stand-up bass, and Memphis Cotton himself crooning a la King. Familiar tunes will include Blue Suede Shoes, Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, All Shook Up, and many, many more. Memphis Cotton gives the audience a glimpse of Elvis' hometown with a walk down Beale Street to hear the songs that launched rock n' roll and re-wrote American music history. The show is sure to please blues, rock, and cabaret audiences alike.

The ELVIS SHOW: A Rock 'n Roll Party!

Tickets: Call 415-885-2800 for reservations

"Well it's one for the money... Two for the show... Three to get ready... Now, go cat go!" Mark your calendar for the premier of THE ELVIS SHOW: A ROCK N' ROLL PARTY! A familiar face on the San Francisco cabaret scene for the last few years, Bradley "Memphis" Cotton has formed a rock n' roll/blues group called Memphis Cotton and The Beale Street Band. Cotton, who was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee hence the nickname "Memphis", put together the show as a tribute and birthday celebration honoring the King of Rock N' Roll - Elvis Presley. The show takes place on Tuesday January 8th - Elvis Presley's Birthday!

The evening will feature a lineup of early Elvis hits performed by Memphis Cotton and The Beale Street Band - a quintet consisting of "The Dapper Tapper of the Ivories" Gary Neuman on keyboards, Chad Tracy on guitar, Dan Keller on stand-up bass, Riccardo Schneider on drums, and Memphis Cotton himself crooning a la King. Such familiar tunes will include: Blue Suede Shoes, Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, All Shook Up, and many, many others. Memphis Cotton gives the audience a glimpse of Elvis' hometown with a walk down Beale Street to hear the songs that launched rock n' roll and re-wrote American music history. The show is sure to please blues, rock, and cabaret audiences alike. Fans are invited to dress-up in 50's attire or as the King himself to be placed in a drawing to win Elvis CD's and DVD's.
