This week?
… FULL PINK MOON early Saturday morning [aka Full EGG Moon—perhaps that’s
more apropos this week]; Passover; Easter Sunday, and …
Lots of MUSIC!!
♫♪♪
Shoutouts for the past week:
The 85s at Hopmonk rocked us, Chime Travelers at
Trek Winery always fun; Mono Music Showcase at Hopmonk—esecially
Mojo Rising with Josh & Teal!
And “Crooked”—hope to hear more of them. Swung by Finnegan’s after that for Kevin
Brennan—the Van Morrison “double” everyone has been mentioning—and we were
not disappointed!
On Sunday Paul Smith’s solo piano recital at College of Marin: Beethoven, Schumann, Lizst – performed beautifully,
masterfully! Bravo, Paul!
Also saw the new Cinderella last week with daughter Laura – a visual
treat (and sweet story)!
My picks for this week:
Hope to be there for Roseberry Jam and others
at Hopmonk’s 33-1/3 Thursday night;
on Friday there’s Pop Fiction at
Hopmonk, MOJO RiSING with Teal & Josh at Rancho
Nicasio; Doc Kraft at Presidio Y.C..
Saturday has REVOLVER at
Fenix; Eric McFadden at 19 Broadway; Joe Tate & The
Blue Monday Band making their debut at Presidio Y.C.
Sunday? AfroZep at Sweetwater entices …
and Joey Davis is hosting her B’Day party at Peri’s in
the afternoon.
Wednesday the 8th
will find the monthly Ray Simpson Big Band Dance at the Corte Madera
Community Center.
Ongoing: The
Wrecking Crew has been extended at the Smith Rafael until April 9
– have to work that into the schedule!
Now my plug for the Marin Symphony: I’m performing with
the Marin Symphony Chorus in this final concert of the season: Sunday Apr.
12 at 3pm, Tues. Apr. 14 at 7:30pm.
The program is sure to please – I am having a ball singing the Poulenc
Gloria – plus there are pieces by Strauss, Sibelius, and a new one from
Mason Bates. The Youth Orchestra will
play alongside their counterparts in the Sibelius piece.
Discount
tickets if you contact me soon (I have to pick up at the
Marin Center Box Office): $21 instead of
$30, $38.50 for the $55 seats, and $49 for the $70 seats. There are pre-concert talks from Maestro
Alasdair Neale an hour before the performances, and on Tuesday night a Wrap
Party at Gaspare’s. Please join us at
one of these concerts!
