Description:

Celebrate the big one with Larry Vann

Larry Vann has made an impressive mark on the Bay Area music scene over the years with his authentic, piercing, all¨Cencompassing musical technique.
Authentic ¡°root music¡±, the essential substance of his artistic source, is the foundation of this superbly seasoned artist¡¯s own musicbranding,
which fuses the essence of soul¨Cstirring blues, sweet, mellow jazz and genuine soul,
R&B and funk.
¡°¡­To sum up how I am, I¡¯m a groove merchant, always searching for a groove. That¡¯s my mission ¨C to find the grooves, me grabbing it and locking it in
. Every time I play, I want to be able to capture it. When a band locks down on a groove, it¡¯s powerful. It can become hypnotic. It gets people dancing, excited.
Once you¡¯ve experienced that, you¡¯re always in search of it. There¡¯s power in it ¨C it¡¯s joyous. You¡¯re giving it and the crowd is giving it back to you.
It makes you want to play all night long ¨C you just don¡¯t want to stop.¡±

      ¡°He shreds like Yngwie Malmsteen, plays with symphonic finesse worthy of an opera hall, and performs a slapstick number straight out of Disney¡¯s Country Bear Jamboree handbook with equal aplomb.¡± - Music News Nashville

His relationship with his instrument of choice results in a sound akin to a conversation between old friends.¡± - Las Vegas Review-Journal

J.C. Smith Band
Th
is band of seasoned players is a true Blues band with one goal in mind¡­keeping the Blues alive. J. C. Smith,winner of the 2012 Metro Newspapers Best Of Silicon Valley ¡°Best Original/local Band¡±, and 2006 Bay Area Blues Society West Coast Blues Band of the Year award winner is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. He is an outstanding performer noted for his energy and charisma. Prior to playing guitar, he was the drummer for the Back to Back Blues Band. In 2000, he emerged from behind his drums, armed with a Gibson 335. J. C. attacks the Blues as if he is being guided by the masters like T-Bone Walker, Albert King, and Johnnie Guitar Watson.

The J. C. Smith Band¡¯s current release ¡°Defining Cool¡± is by far the best recording to date. Listed for the 52nd Grammy Awards for ¡°Best Contemporary Blues CD,¡± it entered the Living Blues Radio Charts at #16 and was a ¡°Pick to Click¡± on XM Radio. After 20 weeks on the Roots Report, the CD climbed the charts as high as #25 nationally. In 2004, Smith released ¡°That¡¯s What I¡¯m Talk¡¯n ¡®Bout,¡± co-produced by Grammy Award Nominee Joanna Connor.

This CD shows masterful songwriting, outstanding arrangements, and traditional quality. It features a host of Chicago players including Willie ¡°Big Eyes¡± Smith, who worked with the Muddy Waters Band for twenty years. 2001 marked the release of Smith¡¯s first effort ¡°Midnight Creeper¡± which brought him international attention. Smith has toured throughout the United States, Eastern Europe, Mexico,South America,and Russia,to sell out crowds. Smith has work with and shared the stage with notable artist such as Hubert Sumlin, B,B, King, Buddy Guy, Buddy Miles, Son Seals Willie Bigeyes Smith, Pinetop Perkins and many more. He is also known as radio personality Johnnie Cozmik on KKUP F.M. J. C. feels that his goal in life is ¡°To keep the Blues alive and take the message to the people.¡±

Instrumentation

Robert ¡°Jay¡± Green (Bass). Jay joined the group with a very short notice yet rose to the challenge. Four days after accepting the offer from the band, he played a club date that served as a rehearsal, then three days later he was on tour in Southern California which included two performances at the NAMM show in Anaheim.

Abraham Vasquez (Sax) is one of the hardest working horn men in the Bay Area. His masterful solos and arrangements bring you back to the days of Louis Jordan, and Sam Butera. Vasquez and Smith first teamed up in the late 80¡äs to form The Back To Back Blues Band. Vasquez has worked with the likes of Tommy Castro, Hall and Oates, Dr. John, and more.

Tommy Maitland (Trumpet) formally with Dub Nation and KFJC Radio.

Gene Reynolds (Trombone) formally with Gregarious Movement.

Todd Reid (keys) is an all around pro. He has worked with as music directector with a host of groups. He delivers a one two punch that will rock your socks off¡­


Donnie Green (drummer) toured Europe seven times before joining the JC Smith Band. Drumming professionally since the age of 12, you¡¯ve got to hear this solid funk and blues drummer to believe him. He is as exciting to watch as well as listen to because of his style and showmanship.Band at Biscuits & Blues--401 Mason Street, S F

oin us for PHB¡¯s THEME NIGHT!
Featuring one of the GREATEST BANDS ON EARTH, The Beatles!

¡°The story began in Harold Macmillan¡¯s ¡°never had it so good¡± ¡¯50s Britain. It should be fiction: four teenagers with no more than eight O¡¯Levels between them, running and biking and busing and busking all over Liverpool in search of new chords and old guitars and half-decent drum kit and any gig at all.

They were determined to amount to something (in George¡¯s words ¡°we just had this amazing inner feeling of: ¡®We¡¯re going to do it¡¯. I don¡¯t know why¡­ we were just cocky¡±) and make a record (in Ringo¡¯s words ¡°you¡¯d kill for that bit of plastic and make some money and have a laugh and shout.¡±) That would do to be going on with.

Six years later, they were the four most famous and musical men on earth, the best dressed and on a good day the most captivating people anyone can remember. The narrative that began where Paul met John and clicked at a garden fete in leafy Liverpool, and ended in high dudgeon in high-end London, is so far fetched that it needs the power of a song punctuating every page to remind you with a joyous jolt that it was all true.

We didn¡¯t dream it¡­ though it came out of John¡¯s dream of the ¡°man on a flaming pie¡± who said ¡°You are Beatles with an ¡®A¡¯¡±. It did all happen. The whole wonderful thing did happen, a long time ago, on the Mersey, on the Elbe, by the Thames and the Hudson River.

Amazing and marvelous and, nearly [fifty] years on, forever young.¡±
Derek Taylor
