| We know Biss Listers, not all of us can go to Jazzfest....grumble, grumble..... But since we are talking about it already, don't forget about "GROOVIN' FOR THE GULF", A Benefit for Gulf Restoration Network & N.O. Musician's Clinic May 3rd and 4th at 12 BAR @ 608 FULTON, New Orleans , LA presented by New Era Presents & Biss Entertainment. Tuesday, the 3rd, is GROOVE WIZARDS, McTUFF TRIO, KIRK JOSEPH & FRIENDS, CLIFF HINES QUINTET. And Wednesday, the 4th, is The MONOPHONICS, SOUL PROJECT, BRANCH y PAZ and ANDREW DUHON TRIO. (**WIN** (http://www.12barnola.com/) Also not to be missed while you are there, The Drummers Cometh Superjam on May 1st featuring Zigaboo Modeliste, Billy Martin, Russell Batiste, Raymond Webber, Papa Mali, Eric Lindell, Nick Daniels plus Anders Osborne and the Revivalists, 10 PM, The Howlin Wolf, New Orleans. Biss Entertainment always supports our friends with Satisfied Productions who put on the amazing Bayou Rendezvous every year. It's a full night of music on May 6th from 9pm til sunrise with Col. Bruce Hampton, Ret., & The Pharoah Gummit, The New Orleans All-Stars, Rebirth Brass Band, Papa Grows Funk, Vinyl, The Lee Boys, Eric McFadden Trio, Orgone, Good Enough For Good Times, Monophonics Thank Goodness we have the city by the bay to distract us, and what a good job it does. The BISS List would like to congratulate AFROLICIOUS on their four year anniversary and we expect to see everyone at their shows on Thursday and Friday nights at the Elbo Room (WIN**WIN**)......Thank you for keeping our booties shaking!
Jordon & The Ritual are playing Friday night at the Boom Boom Room but make sure to get there early for our friends The Brothers Lekas at 9pm! Then STEPPIN' with FILLMORE FUNK on Saturday! You know the BBR got the late night funk.
Also Friday...
JOHN SCOFIELD is doing a once in a lifetime preformance at GRACE CATHEDRAL. The acoustics alone are totally worth staying in town. If you are lookin' for some free Funk and Jazz roll through the new spot in the Mission, Brick & Mortar Music Hall, for Swoop Unit. Everyone WINS* when there is no cover!
East bound to Uptown Oakland for Mudhoney at The New Parish (*WIN)and for the North Bay kids the UPTOWN THEATRE in Napa has OZOMATLI... say that three times fast...or just go to the show and get down.
Monday night relax with a glass of wine in North Beach with Free Jazz...at Grant & Green with MIKE OLMOS, or at Mojito with JOE COHEN TRIO...See we got Jazz here? And its free...that's a twofer.
Monday would not be a Monday if THE CHRIS ROBINSON BROTHERHOOD wasn't doing a sold out show at the Independent.
Sunny says, "City by the bay we love you...but maybe we should start a free beignet program for those who can't go to the fest. Beignets are awesomeness...but they don't compare to the BISS list, and that is saying a lot."
Wasn't MAKE A SCENE rockin last week? We can't wait for the next one on May 19th! This time featuring Sean Leahy, Reed Mathis, & Dave Brogan as Sean Leahy Trio, Mama's Cookin' from Tahoe and M80 Mailbox featuring Josh Clark, Sean Leahy and Dave Brogan. But wait there's more: the third set will be hosted by Joe Tatton of The New Mastersounds with others joining him to take us late in to the night. ******* See you all at the Shows!!
