SUMMARY:Live Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Paris 75’s rotating jazz bands turn this corner of North Beach into a little slice of the Left Bank. Each week a different small ensemble—trios\, quartets\, and vocal groups—leans into swing\, standards\, and café‑style jazz that pairs naturally with wine\, cocktails\, charcuterie\, and late‑night conversation. The vibe is intimate and unhurried: close‑up solos\, brushed drums\, and melodies that drift through the room while guests linger over another round.

SUMMARY:Jinx Jones and the Kingtones
DESCRIPTION:Catch the “fiery style” of Jinx Jones and the Kingtones at Tupelo. Known as one of the most virtuosic guitarists on the West Coast\, Jinx Jones leads his power trio through a high-octane set of Rockabilly\, Greaser-Jazz\, and “Big Twang” guitar instrumentals. Set in the heart of North Beach’s Grant Avenue\, this is the premier destination for those who want their music loud\, fast\, and dripping with vintage Americana. \nThe Sound: Jinx Jones is a master of the “Twang\,” blending Rockabilly\, Surf\, and Jump Blues with lightning-fast fingerpicking. Whether he’s tearing through a Dick Dale cover or a soulful original\, his sound is characterized by a “no-nonsense” energy that bridges the gap between the 1950s and the modern age. \nThe Performance: Accompanied by the Kingtones—a rock-solid rhythm section built for swing—Jinx puts on a show that is as much about showmanship as it is about technical skill. Expect deep grooves\, swinging rhythms\, and guitar solos that frequently bring the room to a standstill. \nThe Tupelo Vibe: As North Beach’s go-to for live music seven nights a week\, Tupelo offers a boisterous\, high-energy atmosphere. With its red-lit stage\, extensive whiskey selection\, and local crowd\, it provides the perfect grit for a night of Rockabilly mayhem. \nNo Cover: This performance is a “No Cover” event (though a tip jar for the band is always appreciated). It’s an unbeatable way to experience world-class musicianship in one of San Francisco’s most historic nightlife corridors. \n\nAbout Jinx Jones\nJinx Jones is a guitar virtuoso who has shared stages with legends like Chuck Berry and Solomon Burke. A staple of the San Francisco music scene for decades\, he is a multiple-time winner of the SF Weekly Music Awards and has been inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Beyond his work with the Kingtones\, he leads his “Big Twang Monday” residency at the neighboring Saloon\, cementing his status as the “King of Grant Avenue” guitar. His playing is often described as “restless and melodic\,” proving that he isn’t just a guitarist—he is a force of nature.

DESCRIPTION:Now entering its second year\, Jazz Mafia’s Monthly Residency has become a laboratory for magic—unexpected collaborations\, long-awaited reunions\, spontaneous experiments that somehow turn into fan favorites\, and the kind of once-in-a-room moments that help define the Bay Area scene. To launch 2026\, we’re taking that spirit to the extreme by bringing in one of the flagship ensembles of the entire Jazz Mafia universe: the 18-piece Realistic Orchestra. \nFormed in 2004 by drummer/composer Eric Garland and Adam Theis\, Realistic Orchestra is a modern electro-acoustic big band built from the core musicians and co-founders who shaped Jazz Mafia from the beginning. The group blends classic big-band instrumentation with futuristic textures\, original compositions\, bold arrangements\, and a long history of cross-disciplinary collaborations.

SUMMARY:Gaucho Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Gaucho is a masterful Bay Area band that combines the influence of gypsy jazz of 1930’s Europe with the rhythmic drive and collective improvisation of New Orleans swing music\, gutbucket blues and elements of ragtime. Their sound\, a uniquely American concoction\, blends instrumental acuity and lighthearted humor that keep their audience coming back for more. As founder\, guitarist\, and main composer Dave Ricketts says\, the band is “in love with the music of Louis Armstrong\, Fats Waller and Jimmie Rodgers\, as well as the stories\, the life styles and the foot steps of hundreds of other great jazz\, blues\, country and rock musicians that created the sound of American Music from roughly 1900-1950’s” \nGaucho has recorded eight albums\, tours regularly\, and has an increasing repertoire of over forty original tunes. Seven of their tunes are featured in the 2012 film “Trattoria”; one was chosen by the Metropolitan Museum of Art for their website; and another is featured in the outtakes section of the Pixar DVD CARS 2. In 2018\, Gaucho got a song in the Hollywood Movie “Destination Wedding” starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder. And two of Dave’s own compositions will be placed in a New York City based indie film\, “Stationed at Home\,” in 2022. \nLed by eminent guitarist\, Dave Ricketts\, the group has been a San Francisco mainstay for nearly twenty years\, and one of the busiest bands in the bay area playing 5 to 10 gigs a week. Together with virtuosos Rob Reich–accordion and Craig Venetresco–guitar\, superlative bassist Ari Munkres\, the honorable Leon Oakley–cornet\, and versatile percussionist Steve Apple\, these guys keep crowds moving with their beats and complex rhythms.

SUMMARY:Mitch Polzak
DESCRIPTION:The big guy from out West and larger than life energy (he’s also 6’5’) performer\, guitarist\, singer\, banjoist\, songwriter\, composer\, entertainer\, musical historian and teacher Mitch Polzak wears his heart on his sleeve and his playing in his heart. \nPolzak performs rockabilly and 60’s country music with the religious fervor of Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash and delivers a Honky Tonk ballad with the sincerity of Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings. Mitch will bring a room to a fevered pitch of joyous energy on the dance floor and then tell you a story in a song like two old friends sitting at a kitchen table at midnight. \nHis virtuosic guitar skills and influences range from the blazing flying fingers of Joe Maphis \, Marty Stuart\, Roy Clark\, and Don Rich to the timeless dreamlike state of “Sleepwalk” by Santo and Johnny along with the vast valleys of deep rumbling twang associated with Duane Eddy. \nThere is not one singular definition of Polzak’s music but that is very specific to what he does. Being fluent in the musical languages of Country\, Rockabilly\, Honky Tonk\, The Bakersfield Sound\, Surf\, early Rock and Roll\, Bluegrass\, Cajun\, Blues\, and Truck Driving music gives Polzak the unique voice of the melting pot of the American musical experience. This is why he consistently connects with so many people directly at every show. \nPolzak’s abundant joy in communicating with people through music leaps off the stage through every fiber of his being. His near-constant genuine smile can be seen clear across the room and invites you in without any pretense or judgements. Some call him “The Honky Tonk Mister Rogers”! \nMake no mistake though. Underneath that smile is a deep and reverent respect for the history and integrity of the music and musicians who came before him and created the sounds and told their stories. \nJust as Waylon Jennings created his own outlaw sound\, as Johnny Cash could never be put in a box\, the full throttle intensity of Jerry Lee Lewis’s rock and roll grabs us and takes to a time and place\, Polzak’s live show has the unvarnished purity of the Bakersfield Sound paying homage to his California musical heroes Buck Owens\, Merle Haggard\, Wynn Stewart and Dwight Yokam. It’s a heaping helping\, but a Mitch Polzak show brings all of these musical flavors to the table in a potluck of American musical flavor. \nPolzak learned firsthand from some of his musical influences\, sharing the stage with legends like Don Maddox of The Maddox Bros. and Rose\, deeply respected contemporary and friend Deke Dickerspn\, The Ragin’ Cajun Doug Kershaw\, Rockabilly icons Joe Clay and Gene Summers\, former Bluegrass Boy and West Coast music pioneer Peter Rowan and Cajun greats Jimmy Breaux\, Andrew Carriere\, and Blake Miller. He has also shared the bill with Brian Setzer\, Jerry Lee Lewis\, Duane Eddy\, The Stray Cats\, Big Sandy and The Fly Rite Boys\, and Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives.
