Tim Hockenberry Band Saturday February 13th Mill Valley Masonic 19 Corte Madera Ave in downtown Mill Valley Doors @ 8:pm |
|
||||||||
A Valentines Concert If you have not seen Tim in concert you are in for a very special treat. His vocals, song selection and band are of the highest calibre. Tim is truly one of the great musicians of our times. Tim Hockenberry is already well known to Bay Area audiences and has a growing reputation as a one of the great innovative singers and compelling song stylists in America today. He is somewhere between Tom Waits and David Gray with a Bruce Hornsby instrumental feel. Tim’s successful release of “Mostly Dylan” was recently followed by his new About Records release "Back In Your Arms Again". When Tim Hockenberry sings and plays piano, you hear the R&B of his Detroit influences, the rock of his generation and the jazz that he thought he’d lost as a teenager. Like a handful of blues and gospel-based singers, Tim has the pipes and phrasing that lets him sing anything – the phonebook! – and makes you catch your breath and stop doing whatever you’re doing to hear what comes next. Every song he touches, guileless Broadway ballad to jagged-edge rock, becomes a testimony to the human experience of pain, joy and love – musically transformed into a kind of pleasure that you will seek again and again. A couple of remarkable songs, do take a listen... $20 general admission, $25 general admission seated To buy tickets |

The David Nelson Band
Dance to the David Nelson Band and help Haiti. $5 of each ticket will go to relief efforts. The DNB's broad musical palette spans the Almost Acoustic style that Nelson played with Jerry Garcia, through roots rock n’ roll, and psychedelic country-rock. Each show, being unique and exploratory in nature, is a magical adventure for band and audience alike. It's one of the reasons so many fans follow the band to every gig! The David Nelson Band has been recording and performing around the country since 1994. Their broad musical palette spans the Almost Acoustic style that Nelson played with Jerry Garcia, through roots rock n’ roll, and psychedelic country-rock. The DNB perform David's compositions (some co-written with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter), select covers, and several Grateful Dead classics upon which Nelson appeared on the original album releases. These stylistic elements, combined with plenty of spontaneous free form improvisation, create a sound that is uniquely David Nelson Band. Though the original songs are mostly written by Nelson, the development of all the material is a fully collaborative effort. The Nelson, Sless, Siegel, Sears, Molo Band as a name is a bit cumbersome - though in reality, that’s what they are. David Nelson - guitar/ vocals - is a founding member of the New Riders of the Purple Sage and long time musical partner of Jerry Garcia’s dating back to 1962 in the pre-Grateful Dead bluegrass band, The Wildwood Boys. Nelson was also a member of the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band and performed on three Grateful Dead albums - Aoxomoxoa, Workingman’s Dead & American Beauty - playing the character laden electric guitar solo on Box of Rain. Nelson has also performed as a member of Phil Lesh and Friends. Barry Sless - lead guitar/ pedal steel - has been a frequent member of Phil Lesh and Friends lineups since 2004. He has also toured as a member of Kingfish, Cowboy Jazz, the Rowan Brothers, Moonalice and Great American Taxi. Mookie Siegel - keyboards/ accordion/ vocals - has toured with Bob Weir’s Ratdog, Phil Lesh and Friends, Kingfish and Donna Jean and the Tricksters. Pete Sears - bass/ vocals - was the bassist and keyboard player for the original Jefferson Starship from 1974-1987, keyboardist for Hot Tuna from 1992 to 2001 and currently performs with Moonalice. Pete has played with Phil Lesh and Friends and appears on their 1999 release, Love Will See You Thru. Pete began his career in England in 1964 and has performed with many artists including Jerry Garcia, John Cipollina, and appears on Rod Stewart’s classic early British albums. John Molo - drums - has been a fixture with Phil Lesh and Friends since 1999. When the Grateful Dead reformed (after Jerry Garcia’s death) as the The Other Ones in 1998, John was a member. He has won a Grammy award for his work as a member of Bruce Hornsby and the Range, who he performed with from 1986 – 1999. John has also toured with Creedence Clearwater Revival founder John Fogerty and is considered by many to be the ultimate drummer in the improvisational rock scene.
