Door at 4:00pm, concert at 4:30pm. We suggest a donation of $30 per person, all of which goes to the artists.

RIP
Mal Sharpe
We deeply regret the passing today of a wonderful man, fine jazz musician, and good friend Mal Sharpe. Here is his obituary in the San Francisco Classical Voice, a superb interview that gives a good sense of this remarkable man, and "Fuehrer Bush" -- made during the George W. Bush years -- a bizarre musical project (one of many) we did together.
Passed away March 10, 2020, Berkeley, California

We are 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. Rated one of America's 15 best bars by Esquire magazine.

My friend Rich Young (who is neither) sent me this gem: Guitar Center Institutes Five-Day Waiting Period on Ukuleles

"We here at WUS are disgusted by Guitar Center's trampling on the freedom of musical expression. The right to ukulele ownership was passed down from our stepfathers," declared Topherson. "Mr. Japinga, let me be clear: You can take my K-1 T6 Koa 6-string tenor when you pry it from my double-layer cotton canvas tote bag."
I say, thank heavens! And I also say, you'll be safe at Specs -- no ukeleles there.

And you'll get to hear Rich on drums (that explains a lot), Annamarie on percussion, John Groves on piano, me on bass, and your favorite diva Valeriana (Divaleriana?) singing her heart out as always. And no background checks.

Misogyny and Other Miss-Fits!
Lyrics from many jazz and blues tunes reflect less than ideal, (and in some cases, overly ideal) impressions of the female sex. With humor, mitigated by just the right amount of annoyance, we will have fun with these tunes and many others as we traverse the landscape of “women in song”. The fantastic jazz tune Girl Talk, (lyrics by Bobby Troup, music by Neal Hefti), and Bacharach's Wives and Lovers are just a few songs featured in Kay's “misogyny” set.

A portion of the proceeds will go to women’s rights organizations.

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 Jonathan Alford 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!

"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.
