SUMMARY:Graham Messer Trio
DESCRIPTION:At just 23 years of age\, Graham is a young gun making a name for himself in the world of Jazz today. A dyed-in-the-wool bebop pianist\, he seeks to uphold the tradition of Bud Powell\, Charlie Parker\, John Coltrane\, Kenny Dorham\, and Barry Harris\, among others\, and treats their music equally as soul food\, and as ground for intellectual exploration\, fertile as any music of the great European masters of the last 400 years. \nArmed with a rigorous classical training\, he has to quote one local great\, “made a substantive contribution towards raising the ‘mean tempo’ of the tunes played within this sector of the S.F. jazz scene”\, though he feels just as at home on a contemplative ballad or a slow blues. \nYou may find him performing under either one of his apt pseudonyms: Dud Powell or Barely Harris.

SUMMARY:Katy Stephan
DESCRIPTION:Kathy Stephan brings torch songs\, swing standards\, and a touch of twang to the Comstock Saloon’s polished‑but‑raucous barroom. Her voice leans into the room’s natural reverb\, floating over brushed drums\, piano\, and upright bass while cocktails clink and the lights stay low. Expect classic tunes\, a few deep‑cut surprises\, and the kind of between‑song banter that makes the band feel like part of the crowd. It’s the perfect soundtrack for settling into a leather booth\, ordering something stirred\, and letting the night stretch out a little longer than you planned.

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.

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.

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:Jazz Mafia’s Realistic Orchestra
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. Born during the legendary “Jazz Mafia Tuesdays” era\, Realistic Orchestra spent years premiering new works every week\, creating a unique sound that sits somewhere between jazz orchestra\, film score\, electronic music\, underground hip-hop session\, and experimental theater pit. \nFor this special residency kickoff\, the full 18-piece ensemble squeezes into two of the Bay Area’s most intimate rooms—an ambitious\, joyful\, slightly absurd idea that channels everything the residency stands for: community\, risk-taking\, and big musical visions in close quarters. \nOne night\, Eighteen musicians. A 2026 launch with heavyweight sonic firepower.

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.
