Me and Bobby McGee in the Brewery Arts Center Ballroom – 8/26

/in /by

NOTE (8/25): This concert, which was originally scheduled for the Comma Courtyard, has been moved to the Brewery Arts Center Ballroom (449 W. King St., second floor) due to smoky conditions.

Me and Bobby McGee perform in the Brewery Arts Center Ballroom on Thursday, Aug. 26, 2021, from 2:45 to 4:00 p.m.

Me and Bobby McGee

Me and Bobby McGee

Me and Bobby McGee is what June Joplin and Bob Reid called themselves when they started moonlighting from their duties as vocalist and keyboard player in the high-energy pop-rock-country band Moonlight Express.  June is also owner of Comma Coffee and Bob is a successful author.  As Me and Bobby, June and Bob kick back, slow down, and open the Great American Songbook to sublime standards such as “Come Rain or Come Shine” by Harold Arlen, “Our Love is Here to Stay” by George Gershwin, “Since I Fell For You” by Buddy Johnson, and “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” by Cole Porter.  June, who’s equally at home in a mink coat or blue jeans and high-heeled pumps, has the voice and the heart for the timeless classics, a smooth, smoky, passionate style that’s part diva, part rapture, part pure sizzle. Bob backs her up with tasteful, soulful accompaniments he’s honed over years of listening to and playing the great songs of our time. Together they strive to imbue their performances with the qualities of the songs they love – timelessness, elegance, class.

Tom Stryker’s Impromptu performs in the BAC Performance Hall – 8/27

/in /by

Tom StrykerNOTE (8/25): This concert, which was originally scheduled for the Comma Courtyard, has been moved to the Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall (511 W. King St.) due to smoky conditions.

Jazz Harmonica player Tom Stryker’s Impromptu performs in the Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall on Friday, Aug. 27, 2021, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.

The group is Tom Stryker, chromatic harmonica; Jimmy Vermilion, keys & vocals; Marcy Benner, vocals; Rick Metz, saxophone; and Neil Strocchio, drums.  Also appearing is guest vocalist, June Joplin.

Greatly influenced by the likes of Toots Thielemans, Charlie Parker, Bill Evans and Dan Lancaster, Tom Stryker has performed both as a soloist and with various symphonies (including the Carson City Symphony), harmonica trios, and jazz bands and has appeared on television and radio shows. He has performed all over the world, from China to Hawaii to Frankfurt and from Miami to London. Also, in jazz clubs in Reno, Nevada, where he now resides. His performances on Holland America Cruise Lines, as the lead player for the Harmonica Aces, were a tremendous success. Additionally, Tom is the former two-term President of SPAH, the Society for the Preservation and Advancement of the Harmonica.

Tom began his musical journey in San Francisco in 1954 under the guidance of former Borah Minevitch Rascal, Ray Tankersley. He later began playing professionally with world-famous Harmonica Rascal Johnny Puleo. He went on to appear at the World Harmonica Championships in the 1980s as the lead player with Harmonica Express, a quartet of players. Yet he was still searching for “something,” until he met a local jazz musician who introduced him to a jazz combo playing in the local nightclubs in San Jose, California. He was bitten by the “bug,” and a new musical journey began.

In Tom’s view, “the mastery of jazz on the chromatic harmonica is a labor of love as it is with any instrument. Jazz is the ultimate expression of musical freedom and individuality. And on what better instrument than the harmonica, everyone’s friend?”
