SUMMARY:Sherri Robert’s: “I’m Hip!” A Tribute to the Hep-Cats of Jazz
DESCRIPTION:“I’m Hip!”- A Tribute to the Hep-Cat Singer/Songwriters of Jazz: Matt Dennis\, Bobby Troup\, Dave Frishberg\, and Bob Dorough \nThey wrote the hippest songs of the times ( like “Route 66”\, “Angel Eyes”\, and that satirical anthem of the genre\,“I’m Hip!”\,) recorded by the era’s greatest stars\, including Nat King Cole\, Frank Sinatra\, and Billie Holiday. Yet they themselves were also unrepentant Lounge Lizards and Jazz Club Rats\, craving the occasional spotlight and itching to play the piano and croon their wares to their own finger popping audiences. \nDrawing a fascinating connection between the Bebop innovators of the 1940’s and 50’s\, the Beat generation that revered them\, and these hipster singer/songwriters who drank from the wellspring (not to mention the martini glasses!) of both\, Vocalist Sherri Roberts returns to Keys with a program that pays tribute to the “Craftsmen of Cool.” Their joyfully clever songs weren’t written for stage or sentimental films\, but for jazz singers to sing to jazz audiences- conversational\, witty\, blue-sy\, and hip! \nCalled “a superior bop and standards vocalist “ by the Los Angeles Times\, Sherri promises to bring her own distinct “West Coast Cool” vibe to this entertaining program. JazzTimes said it best: “How appropriate that Sherri Roberts opens with Bobby Troup’s “You’re Looking at Me.” For\, stylistically\, Roberts bears a significant resemblance to Mrs. Troup\, gin ’n’ satin seductress Julie London. But where London’s voice was pale and distant as a winter moon\, Roberts’ is all dappled sunshine…Enchanting.” \nDavid Udolf – piano \nChris Amberger- bass \nAkira Tana- drums

It is a space where local legends and touring pros often drop in to sit with the band\, creating a “who’s who” environment for the San Francisco music scene. The house band is known for their “deep pocket” and the ability to back any style with technical precision and infectious joy. \nThe atmosphere at Tupelo during the Artist Series is electric yet welcoming\, drawing a diverse crowd of neighborhood regulars\, off-duty musicians\, and soul aficionados. Set against the venue’s classic red-lit stage and historic Grant Avenue backdrop\, the event offers a rare opportunity to experience an elite\, high-energy “dance party throw-down” with no cover charge. Whether you are there to dance off the weekend or simply to appreciate the highest level of local musicianship\, the Sunday Artist Series ensures that the spirit of North Beach soul remains loud and alive.

Hosts Andrew Coutti and Young Blake are veteran players known for their “unprecedented chemistry” and ability to back any guest with a rock-solid\, funky foundation. Over the years\, the jam has hosted everyone from local legends to touring pros\, cementing Tupelo’s reputation as a vital sanctuary for the preservation of San Francisco’s live R&B and Funk traditions.

SUMMARY:The North Beach Django
DESCRIPTION:Transport yourself to a 1930s sidewalk café in Montmartre as North Beach Django takes residency at Paris 75 every Tuesday. Located on the edge of the historic Broadway corridor\, this charming French lounge provides the perfect backdrop for the “Hot Club” sound. With its selection of authentic French cocktails and wines\, the venue feels less like a San Francisco bar and more like a secret sanctuary for lovers of European jazz and vintage aesthetics. \nThe Sound: North Beach Django delivers an authentic exploration of Jazz Manouche (Gypsy Jazz). Their sound is defined by the “pumping” rhythm of acoustic guitars and soaring\, melodic solos. Expect a repertoire of high-speed swing\, haunting French musette waltzes (like “L’Indifférence”)\, and soulful ballads that capture the bittersweet spirit of the early 20th century. \nThe Django Legacy: The group’s mission is to honor the revolutionary style of Django Reinhardt\, the legendary Romani-French guitarist who pioneered this genre. Despite losing the use of two fingers in a fire\, Reinhardt’s virtuosic speed and unique harmonic language changed jazz forever. The band keeps this fire alive\, utilizing the same acoustic string-band format—no drums\, just pure rhythmic drive. \nThe Players: The group is led by a core of the Bay Area’s finest “manouche” specialists\, often featuring Ned Boynton on guitar\, Eddie Scher on guitar\, and Kenan O’Brien on bass. Their chemistry is a masterclass in the “interlocking” style of Gypsy Swing\, where the lead and rhythm guitars work in a constant\, high-speed dialogue. \nThe Community Jam: In the spirit of the Parisian cafés where this music was born\, the evening often evolves into a welcoming session. After the first set\, the band frequently opens the floor to “acoustic sitter-inners”—strings\, accordions\, and woodwinds—making it a vibrant hub for the local jazz community. \n\nAbout Paris 75\nParis 75 is a sophisticated French cocktail lounge that serves as a cultural bridge between San Francisco and the “City of Light.” Named after the postal code for Paris\, the bar specializes in regional French wines and signature cocktails like the “French 75.” The intimate\, candlelit space is designed for conversation and attentive listening\, making it the ideal home for the acoustic nuances of North Beach Django. It is a place where time slows down\, and the legacy of the great European troubadours feels remarkably present.

SUMMARY:Hal Bigler Band
DESCRIPTION:Step back in time at Comstock Saloon\, where the Hal Bigler Band holds court every Tuesday night from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Set in a meticulously restored 1907 building at the crossroads of North Beach and Chinatown\, this residency perfectly matches the band’s vintage sound with a setting of intricate carved wood\, cozy booths\, and pre-Prohibition style. Known for serenading guests from the saloon’s unique upstairs stage\, the band provides an elite\, high-fidelity soundtrack that transforms a weeknight into a cinematic San Francisco experience. \nThe music is a masterclass in Traditional Jazz and Swing\, often leaning into a “bawdy” and soulful energy that keeps the room vibrant. Led by bassist Hal Bigler\, the ensemble features a rotating cast of the city’s finest instrumentalists—frequently including brass powerhouses like trombonists and trumpeters who drive the band’s “restless melodicism” and deep rhythmic pocket. Their performances are celebrated for their technical brilliance and an improvisational flair that honors the roots of early 20th-century jazz while keeping the energy modern and infectious. \nThe atmosphere at Comstock during these sets is both elegant and unpretentious\, drawing a mix of jazz aficionados\, cocktail enthusiasts\, and neighborhood regulars. Whether you are seated at the bar enjoying a classic Ramos Fizz or tucked into a booth for dinner\, the Hal Bigler Band ensures that the spirit of old North Beach remains loud and alive. With no cover charge and a front-row seat to world-class musicianship\, it is one of the city’s most essential and accessible live music traditions. \n\n\nAbout the Hal Bigler Band\nHal Bigler is a veteran of the San Francisco jazz scene\, known for his “steady hand” on the upright bass and his ability to curate top-tier ensembles. His band has become a cornerstone of the North Beach live music circuit\, praised for preserving the high-energy “hot jazz” style that once defined the city’s nightlife. Occasionally collaborating with unique performers like burlesque dancers\, the group remains dedicated to the idea that jazz should be a multi-sensory\, high-energy party. Their Tuesday night residency at Comstock is widely considered one of the best spots in the city to watch this live jazz combo.

SUMMARY:Robert Sarazin Blake
DESCRIPTION:Experience the raw\, narrative power of Robert Sarazin Blake at Tupelo. A seasoned traveler and poet of the road\, Blake brings a unique “modern twist” to the folk tradition. His performances are legendary for their “speed-strumming” intensity and a storytelling depth that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. Whether he is singing about lost loves\, politics\, or the quiet beauty of a rainy afternoon\, Blake transforms the bustling atmosphere of North Beach into a focused\, cinematic listening room. \nThe Sound: Blake’s music is a captivating blend of Folk\, Punk\, and Americana. Drawing influence from Woody Guthrie\, Leonard Cohen\, and Billy Bragg\, he utilizes a “recitative” style—a mix of singing and rhythmic talking—that highlights his sophisticated lyricism. His guitar playing is energetic and “ferociously rhythmic\,” providing a pulsing backdrop to his sprawling\, story-driven songs. \nThe Master Storyteller: A true showman\, Blake is as famous for his between-song banter as he is for the music itself. His sets are peppered with funny\, relatable\, and often poignant stories that connect his travels to the immediacy of the present moment. It is not uncommon for him to end a set by singing unamplified from the bar\, creating a rare moment of pure\, acoustic connection. \nA North Beach Favorite: Having toured the world for three decades\, Blake has found a spiritual home at Tupelo. His residency offers a departure from the venue’s typical high-octane rock\, providing a “soul-searching” mid-week or Sunday afternoon sanctuary for those who appreciate the craft of a world-class songwriter. \nNo Cover: This elite performance is a No Cover event\, offering a rare chance to see a veteran of the international folk circuit in an intimate neighborhood setting. It is a quintessential North Beach experience: authentic\, unpretentious\, and deeply moving. \n\nAbout Robert Sarazin Blake\nHailing from Bellingham\, Washington\, Robert Sarazin Blake dropped out of college in 1997 to “hit the road” and has never looked back. With over a dozen albums to his credit—including the critically acclaimed Recitative and Let The Longing Run Wild And Free—he has built a global reputation as one of the finest entertainers of the modern folk movement. As the founder of the Subdued Stringband Jamboree and owner of Same Room Records\, Blake remains a fierce advocate for independent music\, known for recording “musicians in the same room at the same time” to capture the honest\, living soul of the performance.

SUMMARY:Katy Stephan
DESCRIPTION:Katy Stephan’s residency at Comstock Saloon turns the room into a small\, candlelit listening space. At the piano she blends jazz‑inflected originals with reimagined standards and art‑pop tunes\, her clear\, expressive voice sitting right on top of the clink of glassware and low conversation. It’s an intimate\, song‑forward set that feels equally at home as a soundscape for cocktails or as a close‑up performance for guests who want to lean in and really listen.

SUMMARY:Magic School Busk
DESCRIPTION:The Magic School Busk holds weekly residency directly in front of The Red Window at the corner of Stockton and Columbus. This high‑energy busking collective has become one of North Beach’s unofficial “resident joy‑makers\,” blurring the line between band and audience as people pause\, sing along\, or dance on the sidewalk. Whether you are enjoying a gin tonic on the Red Window’s outdoor patio or just walking by with a cannoli in hand\, the Busk provides a genuine North Beach experience. \n\nAbout The Magic School Busk\nBorn from the city’s post-pandemic street-side revival\, The Magic School Busk is a collective of veteran Bay Area musicians dedicated to the art of public performance. They emphasize the acoustic and the authentic\, eschewing heavy amplification for the natural resonance of brass\, strings\, and woodwinds. Often featuring members from some of the city’s most popular jazz and swing outfits\, the “Busk” is celebrated for its ability to read a crowd and create a party out of thin air. They represent the best of San Francisco’s musical resilience—keeping the city’s culture loud\, proud\, and accessible to everyone on the street. \n
