Happy Holidays BISS Listers!! It is quite the holiday week starting with Passover and ending with Easter. Not to mention that we have Earth Day, Bicycle Day, Cherry Blossoms, & 4/20 to celebrate along with birthdays and babys!
Last night, kicked off this awesome week of music with TAJ MAHAL at Sweetwater.
Tonight, Thursday, Boom Boom Room is the place to be and MR ERIC LINDELL is the reason! (*WIN) Anyone else starting to feel that pull towards New Orleans? **Watch for the NOLA BISS Special Edition for Jazz Fest 2014 coming out next week!
Friday, we'll be getting our southern rock on with POOR MAN'S WHISKEY (*WIN) as they pay tribute to the great Allman Brothers at Great American Music Hall! You get one full set of POOR MAN'S WHISKEY originals and then a whole nother set of Allman's. Sounds like a perfect night! Then finish it off with some more of that NOLA style with CYRIL NEVILLE'S SWAMP FUNK (*WIN) at Boom Boom Room. Good thing you can buy drinks till last call and keep dancing well past!
If you still wanna find more NOLA here in the bay on Friday, then you should head North to the Sweetwater for THE PRESERVATION JAZZ HALL BAND!
On April 19th, up to 10,000 people from the San Francisco Bay Area, and beyond, will converge at U.N. Plaza/ Civic Center to celebrate Earth Day San Francisco 2014. The event will feature three stages of Multi-Cultural Music and Performance including NEW MONSOON & THE EARTH DAY ALL STAR BAND Featuring Members of ALO, JGB & RAT DOG, LUMINARIES W/ DJ Sol Rising (Conscious Hip-hop), AUDIOPHARMACY (Indigenous roots rock reggae), J. BOOGIE DUBTRONIC, TREVOR GREEN (one man Earth band), KAFANA BALKAN BEAT, COSMOS PERCUSSION ORCHESTRA, PEOPLE POWER BAND!
You could also celebrate Earth Day with a Beach Cleanup and BBQ on Saturday, April 19th. Cleanup will be held at Noriega & Great Hwy from 9am-12pm. They will provide coffee, snacks and all cleanup supplies. The BBQ is to be held at the The Church of Surf: 3830 Noriega immediately following the cleanup.
You also might spend Saturday afternoon celebrating with Miss Paula & Miss Misty! Happy Birthday Paula (aka Pamela) and Congratulations Misty!! Love you both!
Saturday night, since we are already in the North Bay, we might just stay on that side of the bridge for CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS @ 19 Broadway or VINYL at Sweetwater (*WIN). We could even head further north to the Hopmonk in Sebastopol for MELVIN SEALS AND JGB (*WIN). Or maybe even further north to the new spot in Petaluma, Zodiacs.
Then again, we tend to always make our way back to the city. So maybe we should try to get back in time for INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS at the Independent (*WIN) and also SHANTYTOWN W/ JORDAN & DARIA JOHNSON are playing at Tupelo. Since we know it will go late night, we can definitely make it in time for the second night of CYRIL NEVILLE'S SWAMP FUNK (*WIN) at BBR.
Sunday is 4/20 as well as Easter and the celebrations continue all day! MOONALICE celebrates the highest of high holy days with a show at Slim's starting at 4:20 and the price of the ticket? Yep, $4.20. Moonalice's Barry Sless, Pete Sears, John Molo and Roger McNamee will rip it up with two sets. Emcee's Wavy Gravy and Big Steve Parish. Special guest David Nelson with opening act Jason Crosby & Friends: Dan (Lebo) Lebowitz, Jay Lane, and Chris Crosby. (*WIN)
Also on 4/20, JEFFERSON STARSHIP'S 40th Light Year Anniversary Celebration takes place at Sweetwater. BAYONICS plays at Brick & Mortar (*WIN). DAVID CROSBY plays the first of two make up shows at Great American Music Hall.
