BISS 04.12.12 - Jerry Joseph / Anders Osborne / Brokedown / Yonder Mountain / Dead Winter Carpenters / Eddie Roberts


Happy Thursday BISS Listers!! This week is another classic example of how awesome the San Francisco live music scene is. No matter which direction you go, you are going to land on great music.  We have an entire calendar listing of shows below but here are some of the highlights...

Tonight, Thursday, descend to Cafe du Nord to witness the distinguishable lyrics of JERRY JOSEPH & THE JACKMORMONS (*Congrats Bill H!) or get your fingers snapping with AFROLICIOUS at The Elbo Room (*WIN).  In the North Bay, our friend Stu Allen & Mars Hotel is playing at the Sweetwater.

Friday night, ANDERS OSBORNE will preach to you at Brick & Mortar with TRACORUM & FIVER BROWN to start! (*Congrats Wendy F & Kristie L!) But that is not the only congregation of great musicians on Friday, is it?! No BROKEDOWN IN BAKERSFIELD featuring NICKI & TIM BLUHM, LEBO, STEVE ADAMS, SCOTT LAW & DAVE BROGAN bring the house down at The Great American Music Hall. Not to mention the first night of Yonder Mountain at The Fillmore! (*Congrats to Erik L. & Shannon M.)

Feel like spreading your wings a little on Friday? Fly north for THE B-SIDE PLAYERS at Hopmonk in Sebastopol or catch Lukas Nelson, son of Willie Nelson playing at Sweetwater in Marin! We LOVED him last time he was in town,  Or fly east for THE DEAD WINTER CARPENTERS, fixing it up at The New Parish (**WIN!). 

Saturday catch the second night of the 2 show run of YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND at The Fillmore (*Congrats Morgan F & Robert G for Sat!). Then head across the street to funk it up with THE FUNK REVIVAL ORCHESTRA going lattttttttttte night (*WIN).

Sunday go a little old school with ELVIS COSTELLO at The Warfield or BETTYE LAVETTE at Yoshi's (*WIN).

Wednesdays are going to be bringing a little curl to your mustache this month, 'cause EDDIE ROBERT'S ROUGHNECK featuring members of OZOMATLI, JAZZ MAFIA & Others at Brick & Mortar the following two weeks (*WIN WIN WIN).

Oh the life of a BISS Lister. So much music, so little time.

Speaking of so much music... We are putting together the special edition of NOLA BISS 2012.
