BISS 06.15.17 : SOILED DOVE / SMOKED OUT SOUL / KING CRIMSON / TAJ & KEB MO / NMA / RECORD COMPANY / THE SPECIALS + FISHBONE / BIG SAM / MONTEREY POP / ZIGGY MARLEY / SURREALISTIC SUMMER!

Greetings and Salutations, BISS Listers!
We've got another amazing week coming at us fellow music freaks! I am actually thinking about leaving the city (for once) to check some of this week's Best of The BISS-recommended events!

It is obvious that I am engulfed by my new obsession for hunting down every new interesting show & spectacle that I know you want to know about just by the fact that we have 350+ shows from today through the end of 2017. Yes, 350!






Thursday night, my Best of The BISS picks all happen to have opportunities to WIN tickets just by answering our contest questions found on our website--look for the bright yellow text instructions. Sound complicated? It's not.
  • MELVIN SEALS & JGB- AN EVENING WITH 2 SETS !! **WIN TICKETS** at Hopmonk Sebastopol

Friday is one of those nights I really wish I could clone myself. So many shows i want to be at! However, I am planning to gussy myself up for Vau de Vire Society's Soiled Dove... A circus-infused dinner theater under the Tortona Big Top w/ musical accompaniment by Jazz Mafia / Realistic Orchestra. www.TheSoiledDove.com.  Any one of you folks can win a pair of tickets (show only) and join me just by spreading the word and entering to win.
