Hot Club of San FranciscoThursday, November 19 at 8 p.m. Presented by the Lucas Theatre Performing Silent Surrealism
The Hot Club of San Francisco is an ensemble of accomplished and versatile musicians celebrating the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli's pioneering Hot Club de France. The ensemble borrows the all-string instrumentation of violin, bass and guitars from the original Hot Club, but breathes new life into the music with innovative arrangements of classic tunes and original compositions from the group's superb lead guitarist Paul Mehling. Hearing the ensemble live, or on any of their ten albums, carries the listener back to the 1930's and to the small, smoky jazz clubs of Paris or the refined lounges of the famous Hotel Ritz. Often called gypsy jazz, the music of The Hot Club of San Francisco has entranced audiences around the globe for over 15 years. Critics have hailed the group's playing as "intricate, scorching and often brilliant…" Acoustic Guitar. From American festivals such as Monterey and Chautauqua to festivals in Mexico and France and concert halls across North America, The Hot Club of San Francisco keeps this historic music fresh and alive.
Tickets are $24, reserved seating. This show qualifies for "8 for $80." Tickets available by calling 912-525-5050 or online. Click more info to read more about "Silent Surrealism" 
In Cooperation with San Francisco Silent Film Festival  Fast-forward 80 years. Continuing this early French tradition, a similar scene plays out as The Hot Club of San Francisco presents Silent Surrealism, an evening of silent surrealist films with live gypsy jazz. The program includes several short silent films by Charlie Bowers such as Now You Tell One and It's a Bird, as well as films by James Sibley Watson and Harold Shaw. The Hot Club accompanies these films with the distinctive music made famous by Stephane Grappelli, Django Reinhardt, and the Hot Club de France. Silent Surrealism is a brilliant multi-media trip back to a time when the artistic and literary style emerged as a means of expressing the imagination…when writers and filmmakers were more interested in the implications of words and images and providing the audience with the opportunity to vicariously experience the unknown or unimaginable.

International Guitar NightSaturday, January 23 at 8 p.m.
"Virtuosity in an informal ambiance" INTERNATIONAL GUITAR NIGHT (IGN) is the longest-running "mobile guitar festival" in North America. Each year, IGN founder Brian Gore of San Francisco is joined by three of the world's foremost acoustic guitarists to perform their latest original compositions and exchange musical ideas in a public concert setting. IGN founder Brian Gore welcomes Lulo Reinhardt, a descendant of Django from Germany who mixes his family's trademark Gypsy Jazz with new forays into Latin music; Itamar Erez from Israel whose symphonic compositions echo his Middle Eastern roots, and renowned harp guitarist Stephen Bennett from Virginia.
Ever since its beginning in 1995 in a converted laundromat in the San Francisco Bay Area, International Guitar Night has featured the best performing guitar composers from around the world. Audiences cherish the virtuosity of the playing and the friendly, informal ambiance of the performances. Participants relish the chance to play with peers from different genres, and to collaborate rather than compete. This unique brand of "guitar positivity" has helped make IGN the most successful guitar showcase of its kind in North America. Tickets are $37, $27, $22 and $14, reserved seating. This show qualifies for "8 for $80". Tickets available by calling 912-525-5050 or online. |
The Wailin' JennysFriday, April 16 at 8 p.m.
Three extraordinary voices, two founding singer-songwriters, one singular vision: The Wailin' Jennys continue to evolve into far more than the melodious sum of their individual talents five years after blowing in on a fresh acoustic breeze from Canada's mid-western heartland.

Do not miss their second visit to the Lucas Theatre. Tickets are $37, $27, $24, and $17. This show qualifies for "8 for $80." Tickets available by calling 912-525-5050 or online. |
