Howdy folks,
We're super excited for our first double bill with The Nice Guy
Trio. They really are nice and their music is amazing. What's also
quite nice is Viracocha - a hip, ambient, antique store/speakeasy
sort of space in the Mission with table seating and a small dance
floor. So, come and listen and dance and drink and so on to the
Jazzy, Klezmer, Balkan and Appalachian sounds of these two fine
groups. We'll also be joining together for a few songs so you just
aren't going to want to miss this show. Hope to see you there!
Juliana, Peter, Dan, Tom and Gari

The Nice Guy Trio is Darren Johnston on trumpet, Rob Reich on
accordion, and Daniel Fabricant on bass. With an emphasis on
spontaneity, they create a sound that is both intimate and
reflective of their contrasting yet complimentary musical
backgrounds. In concert they navigate through a uniquely diverse
collection of original compositions and songs from folk traditions
all around the globe, from j
azz to
klezmer to Balkan dance forms, to calypso and beyond.

“An innovative ensemble that explores a dizzying range of styles,
from Appalachia and Asia Minor to Eastern Europe. The quintet plays
swirling, hard-driving music that always seems to end up in
unexpected places.” SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
“They’re
a band to watch, with some sterling musicianship and a real
sense of fervor about them.” SING OUT!
