The One About A Dapper Crooner and A Travelling Band
Suzie Racho and David Wiegand scout the Bay Area for things to do this coming weekend and turn up a Bay Area trinity, a Star Search contestant, and much more!
Spencer Day
April 11, 2013
Yoshi's
Spencer Day may have appeared on Star Search in 2003, but he doesn't have to convince anyone of his talent anymore. Compared to the likes of Harry Connick Jr., Michael Buble, and Jamie Cullum, the vocalist-songwriter-pianist is celebrating a brand new album called The Mystery of You at Yoshi's on April 11, 2013. For tickets and more information, visit yoshis.com.
The Crossorads Film Festival
April 5 - 7, 2013
Victoria Theatre
With an inordinate amount of sequels and remakes hitting the movie theaters these days, it almost seems like there isn't anything original being created for the screen. Thankfully, there are festivals like The Crossroads Film Festival, which plans to feature 51 new experimental films, videos, and performance works, to remind us that we have nothing to worry about. The festival runs through April 7, 2013 at the Victoria Theatre. For tickets and more information, visit sfcinematheque.org.
Barbara Higbie, Linda Tillery and Laurie Lewis
April 6, 2013
Freight & Salvage
Three musical greats, each a Bay Area treasure, are coming together to sink their teeth into the rich musical traditions of the American South. Berkeley's Barbara Higbie is renowned for her work on the piano and fiddle, Oakland's Linda Tillery is the voice behind many popular Bay Area bands over the past four decades, and Berkeley's Laurie Lewis has recorded more than 20 albums in her career. Just imagine what they can do together! Well, actually, you don't have to because they are throwing an album release party for Hills to Hollers at Freight & Salvage on April 6, 2013. For tickets and more information, visit thefreight.org.
The South First Fridays Art Walk
April 6, 2013
Downton San Jose
Feeling uninspired? South First Fridays Art Walk has you covered. Take a stroll downtown and check out art in not just galleries, but even in a yoga studio, donut shop and climbing gym! For tickets and more information, visit southfirstfridays.com.
The Tontons
April 6, 2013
Thee Parkside
Bassist Tom Nguyen and guitarist Adam Martinez met vocalist Asli Omar as she was leaving to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design and the Pratt Institute in New York, but they didn't let location keep them from making music together. "We just made it work," Nguyen said. And we're lucky that they did, as their sound is great pop akin to Camera Obscura and Best Coast. Go tell them how thankful you are that they stuck it out at Thee Parkside tonight! For tickets and more information, visit theeparkside.com.
Hosted by Cy Musiker and San Francisco Chronicle Executive Datebook Editor David Wiegand.
Airs on KQED Public Radio Friday mornings at 6:33am and 8:33am
