Double Down Time is a blues-based stripped down and “raw” trio that performs their original music and a sprinkle of blues covers. With Julia JD on harmonica and keys, David on guitar and slide and Ms. Lisa on percussion, they “double down” on toe-tapping rhythms, memorable melodies and vocals that showcase textured harmonies. This trio nerds out on the love of breaking down music to its core, mixing things up and then bringing every note back to new life. They embrace minimal acoustic instrumentation and arrangements, and strive for soulful, energetic vocal harmonies and improvisation. They think of songs as storytelling primarily. With all that’s transpired they are excited about so many new stories to tell through music. They bring new interpretations to the music that they cover, and craft new stories in the tunes they write themselves, to form soundbites they describe as authentic, inspiring, down-homey rockin’ bluesy fun!

Called "a force on the rise" by JazzTimes magazine, Alison Shearer's explosive career hits refresh on what it means to be a jazz saxophonist today. Shearer is the kind of artist who is always asking "why." She wants to find the similarities between seemingly disparate things, and in doing so hopefully find something human in everything. Shearer has performed across the United States, Europe, Canada, and South Asia, both with her quartet and as a member of Red Baraat and Sunny Jain's Wild Wild East. She has performed with notable artists such as Kurt Elling, Nate Smith, Charlie Hunter, Ben Platt, Billy Porter, Kelly O'Hara, Jason Robert Brown, Josh Groban, and the wonderful Orchestra of St. Luke's. She has appeared on both NPR's Tiny Desk and KEXP with Sunny Jain's Wild Wild East.

For 55 years, Tower of Power has delivered the best in funk, soul music and East Bay Grease."We were a Soul band called The Motowns," recalls Emilio Castillo. "Rocco was the bass player, I was in there, and my brother was the drummer. I met "Doc" Kupka back in 1968 and gave him an audition. He came into the band, and we eventually changed our name to the Tower of Power." The reason for the band name change was that they had a specific goal in mind. "We wanted to get into the Fillmore Auditorium, and with a name like the Motowns, dressed in suits with razor cuts, we knew we'd never get in there. We grew our hair long, started to be hippies, and changed our name. Doc then suggested that we start writing our own songs."

A Brigid's Day Celebration with Eamonn Flynn and Dublinesque featuring special guests The Glide Memorial Choir, Shay Black and many more, Brigid's Day, February 1st - La Fheile Br’de - celebrates Ireland's matron saint. It was also one of the most important days of the year for our rural ancestors. With its origins in the Celtic festival of Imbolc, Brigid's Day was the festival of fertility and marked the beginning of spring in Ireland. It signalled an end to the darkness of winter and ushered in a new season of hope and growth. Eamonn Flynn forges his own brand of Irish soul. The Dublin-born singer-songwriter/pianist got his start with "The Commitments," a hit film about an Irish soul band, and has since worked with American blues and R&B stars Elvin Bishop, Maria Muldaur, Evelyn Champagne King, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Zigaboo Modeliste (The Meters), The Ray Charles Project, and many more.

Award-winning blues guitar virtuoso and singer: Henry "Coco" Montoya was born in Santa Monica, California, on October 2, 1951, and raised in a working-class family. Growing up, Coco immersed himself in his parents' record collection. He listened to big band jazz, salsa, doo-wop, and rock 'n' roll. His first love was drums; he acquired a kit at age 11. He got a guitar two years later. "I'm sure the Beatles had something to do with this," Montoya recalls. "I wanted to make notes as well as beats." But the guitar was his secondary instrument. Montoya turned his love of drumming into his profession, playing in a number of area rock bands while still in his teens and becoming an in-demand drummer. In 1969, Montoya saw Albert King opening a Creedence Clearwater Revival/Iron Butterfly concert at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. He was transformed. "After King got done playing," says Montoya, "my life was changed. When he played, the music went right into my soul.

Drink The Sea began 3 years ago in 2022, started touring 10/25, when Alain Johannes (Eleven, Queens of The Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures) and Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees, Mad Season) jammed at Barrett's studio in Olympia, WA to see what kind of magic they could conjure together. Two years later, Barrett Martin and Duke Garwood (Mark Lanegan Band) toured together in England and Iceland, before recording additional songs in Reykjavik. After that, Barrett Martin, Duke Garwood, and Peter Buck (R.E.M.) met in S‹o Paulo to record more songs, which continued with Alain Johannes joining them in Joshua Tree, and then some additional recording at Alain's studio in Santiago, Chile. Final production happened at Barrett Martin's studio in Olympia, WA, and mixing took place in Barcelona, Spain. The two debut albums the band Drink The Sea recorded were literally recorded around the world. Taking their name from a lyric that Duke Garwood wrote, the albums are produced and mixed by Barrett Martin and Alain Johannes and reflect the members vast experience as songwriters, arrangers, and singers. For their performance at The Freight they will be playing songs from their two debut albums and a few songs from their former bands.

"Cut & Rewind Tour" SAY SHE SHE There's nothing more resonant than the human voice. It contains timbres and textures no other instrument can replicate, but most importantly, it's immensely powerful: One voice can spark an uprising, but many voices in unison create a movement. Nya Gazelle Brown, Sabrina Cunningham, and Piya Malik, the three women who front NYC punk-chic, discodelic band Say She She, understand how to wield such power. They soar above irresistible grooves, locking together in gorgeous three-part harmonies that cleverly disguise the feeling of righteous rebellion permeating their music. Theirs is a multi-pronged call to action: Move your body, expand your mind, and recognize your strength.

When The English Beat (known as The Beat in their native England) rushed on to the music scene in 1979, it was a time of massive social and political unrest and economic and musical upheaval. This set the stage for a period of unbridled musical creativity, and thanks in large part to the Punk movement and it's DIY approach to making music, artists like The Beat were able to speak out and speak their mind on the news of the day, as in ÒStand Down Margaret", things that mattered to them and the youth culture, as in ÒGet A Job", and universal matters of the heart and soul, as in their classic hits ÒI Confess" and ÒSave It For Later".

For 55 years, Tower of Power has delivered the best in funk, soul music and East Bay Grease."We were a Soul band called The Motowns," recalls Emilio Castillo. "Rocco was the bass player, I was in there, and my brother was the drummer. I met "Doc" Kupka back in 1968 and gave him an audition. He came into the band, and we eventually changed our name to the Tower of Power." The reason for the band name change was that they had a specific goal in mind. "We wanted to get into the Fillmore Auditorium, and with a name like the Motowns, dressed in suits with razor cuts, we knew we'd never get in there. We grew our hair long, started to be hippies, and changed our name. Doc then suggested that we start writing our own songs."
