Vocalist, Paula West with George Mesterhazy Quartet October 11, 2009

Vocalist Paula West's version of the Great American Songbook goes beyond Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter and the Gershwins. She also draws from favorite contemporary classics by composers from Bob Dylan to Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. She has transformed such rock songs as the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want," and "The Beat Goes On" by Sonny & Cher.

The Douglas Beach House is a legendary oceanfront live music club in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is home to the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society, a non profit organization that has been presenting Sunday afternoon headliner Jazz and Classical Music with an ocean view since 1964. Located directly on Miramar Beach in Half Moon Bay, 45 minutes from San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the Bach Society is a major contributor to the San Francisco live jazz scene by presenting national touring jazz concerts and classical performances in an intimate venue. According to the musicians, the Douglas Beach House is “the best small venue in the United States.” Founder, Pete Douglas, says, “We bring a chamber approach to music in a casual beachfront setting, respectful of both the artist and the audience.” All performances are open to the public and partially supported by members and contributors. Buffet and drinks available although you can bring your own wine!
