Drummer, Brian Blade and The Fellowship Band June 7, 2009

Widely respected in the jazz world as drummer/composer/leader of The Fellowship Band, Brian Blade and is also known as the drummer for many heroes of the music world, including Daniel Lanois, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Wayne Shorter, Seal, Bill Frisell, and Emmylou Harris.
His undeniably melodic approach is brought to the forefront with the Fellowship Band, a long-running ensemble far more concerned with creativity than studio output. Last April, the sextet released their first record in almost eight years – “Season of Changes”. But that’s not to say they’ve been on sabbatical. On the contrary, the group has maintained a steady schedule of live appearances and fostered a deep level of musical communication that is at once dead-serious, completely relaxed, and refreshingly honest.

The Bach Dancing & Dynamite presents touring live jazz and classical performances at the Douglas Beach House. Legendary for its intimate concert room and 180 degree ocean views, it is 40 minutes from downtown San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Tickets at the door at 3 pm. Music starts at 4:30, goes to 7:30 with intermission. Open to the public with priority seating for members. Buffet and drinks available.
