The Art of Storytelling: Structure and Surprise in Poetry Saturday, January 18th In Person at Left Margin LIT Rick Barot For a reader, reading a poem is a transformative experience in two ways: the reader apprehends the what of the poem (its content, its story) and inhabits the how of the poem (its structure, its form).

The group is lead by award-winning composer/arranger Michael Smolens and features some of the most creative touring jazz instrumentalists in the Bay Area, along with a stunning gospel vocalist. The project has been featured at the Herbst Theater, as well as numerous concert series and house concerts. buy tickets $25 Advance tickets $30 at the door We are offering a limited number of tickets to attend these performance in person. Advance purchase is recommended. Masking is encouraged but no longer required. "Terrific ensemble. Congrats on your performance today." — Cory Combs (SFMUSIC DAY Artistic Director) "Michael’s arrangements and compositions are masterfully crafted, played by some of the most accomplished musicians in their respective fields. These pieces take the listener on a three-dimensional musical experience that is delightfully unpredictable. He seamlessly weaves style and meter changes, pairing improvisational with fully written sections, into a journey that incorporates influences from around the world and song forms from across the centuries." — Ellen Robinson (jazz recording artist/composer/educator/choral conductor)"A truly inspiring ensemble . . . Your version of 'Over My Head, I Hear Music’ perfectly illustrates the meeting place of Spirituals and Jazz.” — Rev. Carolyn Douglas -- LISA BULLWINKEL Berkeley Art & Culture Hotline www.AnotherBullwinkelShow.com/BACHotline

Fri. Nov. 22, Suzy Thompson & Mary Flower house concert in Richmond - still a few seats available Hi folks, Eric and Suzy are finally back home after our fantastic month-long trip! We started in Louisiana, mostly in Cajun country, with a day trip to New Orleans.. Lots of good music was played, heard and danced to (sometimes accompanied by a mockingbird in residence at the Lakeview Resort where Blackpot Camp takes place!), plenty of good eating and visits with friends old and new. Outside of Nashville, TN, we attended a birthday get-together with old time musicians from all over and prepared a huge gumbo with sausage we brought with us from Louisiana. We spent a week in New York, walking, visiting, going to some museums, capped off with a performance at one of our favorite festivals, the Brooklyn Folk Festival, and tunes with Nora Brown, Samoa Wilson, Stephanie Coleman, Libby Weitenaur. Finished off in Boston with workshops at Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory, and a house concert where Jim Kweskin sat in!! LATE BREAKING NEWS: This Thursday, Nov. 21, from 6 to 8 pm, Eric and Suzy will join David Nelson (Eric's longtime pal from way back in Black Mountain Boys days), Banana (from the Youngbloods) and Paul Knight (stellar bassist) at the Station House Cafe in Point Reyes Station .

We don't get the chance to play togetther very often (Mary lives in Portland Oregon) but when we do, it is a joy!! About Mary Flower: “A national treasure in your own back yard.” -Jorma Kaukonen “A world class finger-style guitarist and lap slide player.” – Downbeat Magazine Mary Flower is a renowned guitarist, with a broad stylistic range approaching that of David Bromberg or Ry Cooder. Her supple honey-and-whiskey voice provides the perfect melodic accompaniment to each song’s story. With immense finger picking guitar and lap-slide prowess, her playing is soulful and meter-perfect, a deft blend of the inventive, the dexterous and the mesmerizing. Based in Portland, Oregon, she tours relentlessly, performing at folk festivals, teaching seminars and concert stages domestically and abroad, including Merlefest, Kerrville, King Biscuit, Prairie Home Companion and the Vancouver Folk Festival, among many. She has released 10 CDs, and has received many awards including being named one of the best albums of the year by Downbeat Magazine.
