Join us for a special show tonight! Soul trio The Arrows (@rickywaynegarrett) are joined by fantastic harmonica player @aki_kumar! 8-11pm, no cover 🔥
Playing Blues, R&B, and Soul music, The Arrows trio bring out the best of the American songbook. With both original and classic material, The Arrows bring unique interpretations of songs from the past and present. Featuring Kelyn Crapp on guitar, Bill MacBeath on bass, and Ricky Wayne Garrett on drums.

A masterful harmonica player, soulful vocalist, band-leader, drummer and producer, Kumar is a man of many talents and one of the most prolific artists in the SF Bay Area today. He has successfully blended retro Indian music into his presentation, making for a unique, electrifying, multi-cultural mash-up that sounds like no one else, yet never loses touch with the inspiration it draws from the blues. A veteran of the San Jose music scene for two decades, Kumar was hailed as “…King of ‘Bollywood blues’ music”

We’re thrilled to welcome Vancouver based band @petuniaandthevipers tomorrow, Wed April 15th from 8-10pm! 🌟

Petunia grew up in rural Quebec, in exactly the sort of surroundings that a country musician would find idyllic, with old dilapidated barns, secret forts, and acres of unspoiled land.As an adult, the wandering spirit took a firm hold on his life, so he set out on the road, playing every major street corner across Canada and throughout the NYC subway system, before graduating to full fledged touring musician. He currently resides in Vancouver BC, and works with several sets of sidemen across Canada, the US and Europe in addition to his own Vancouver based band, The Vipers. He’s more than just an entertainer, he’s a modern musical enigma.Imagine that David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby, that yodeled… or Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction.This is just one way of describing the man known simply as Petunia.He’s an adventure seeker, a poker player, and a mysterious stranger.He’s been referred to as “The Savior of Country Music”, and a man who exists in a different era, bringing the past forth as something new to be celebrated and not forgotten. A restless wanderer, a musical historian, and a quirky yet amazing talent, Petunia joins the greats from north of the 49th for his classic style and raucous performances.

Together with his band the Vipers they play original music combining elements of classic 1920’s, 30’s 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s country, country blues, western swing, alt country rock, Mexicana, French cabaret, Romanian, ragtime, jazz, punk and folk music’s. A new music that springboards off of music of the past and jumps into the present day, left with only echoes of the past… Something in between 1920’s and steam punk.

Join us tonight for a rainy cozy evening of jazz with fantastic vocalist Mae Powell and her trio! 8-11pm no cover 🌹☔️ @taurus.woman
