BISS 12.22.11 - Bayonics / Holidaze Allstars / Jazz Mafia / Will Bernard / Happy Holiday from BISS!!

Happy Chanukah, Solstice, Yule, Kwanza & Merry Christmas BISS Listers! We hope you are all having an awesome holiday season!! Between the holiday parties every evening and the awesome shows every night, it's a very BISSy time of year! And since we all have shopping to do and a party to get to, let us keep this short and sweet.... Tonight, Thursday, after the holiday parties, start your music night off right, with BAYONICS at Brick & Mortar.(*WIN TICKETS) Then high tail it over to the Boom Boom Room for The HOLIDAZE ALLSTAR SPECIAL featuring RON JOHNSON, WILL BERNARD, ERIC LEVY & JOE BAGALE. (*Congrats to Phaedra!) Friday, after the holiday parties, it is the 11th Anniversary of JAZZ MAFIA featuring The Shotgun Wedding Quintet, Brass Mafia, Adam Theis and the Jazz Mafia String Quartet, Joe Bagale, AIMA the Dreamer, Soulati at Brick & Mortar. (*WIN TICKETS) & Congrats to the whole Jazz Mafia crew on 11 years of amazing music!! The roof will surely be a shakin' (and your booty as well) at the Boom Boom Room on Saturday night, after the holiday parties of course, with WILL BERNARD'S XMAS BAND featuring WILL BERNARD, REED MATHIS, DALE FLANNING & ERIK DEUTSCH *Congrats to Glencora! Then next week as you are preparing for the New Years celebration, you get no chance to rest with Hanukkah Nights 7 & 8 featuring Jeremiah Lockwood w/ Guests Ethan Miller (Comets On Fire, Howlin Rain) and Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars/The Black Crowes). It's the last days of the first Jewish Pop-up Record store here in San Francisco at Tikva Records, 3191 Mission Street. http://idelsohnsociety.com/tikvastore/ New Years?! What are WE doing for New Years???! The BISS plan for the night is definitely The Greyboy Allstars featuring Fred Wesley performing West Coast Boogaloo in its entirety and other classics by GBA and the JB's. PLUS Zigaboo Modeliste and the New Aahkesstra. ** Open Bar included in the Price of Admission. What do we do for late night on New Years? That's easy, Boom Boom Room for Big Light, Lebo, & The SF Gramble. What about the days leading up to NYE? How about Trombone Shorty at the Fillmore on the 30th? You could even catch him twice on the 30th and the 31st! *WIN TICKETS And for late night on the 30th? Ronkat's Katdelic at The Boom Boom Room after Shorty, for sure! What about the 29th? Looks like a split between Maceo at Yoshi's (*WIN) & Furthur at The Civic. Then ending up, of course, at the Boom Boom Room for The W-BEEZ! *WIN TICKETS Ready to check out next year's calendar?
