At the end of the evening everyone votes by text for their favorite story of the night. If that’s you, you get $50 and will join the other monthly winners in December for our GrandSlam at the Historic Mystic Theater. Sounds like fun, right?

SPACE ORCHESTRA:
The Space Orchestra recreates the legendary night in March 1970 when twenty stars converged at New York’s Fillmore East. Featuring songwriter Leon Russell as bandleader and up-and-coming British vocalist Joe Cocker, the New York show was recorded and released as the live album Joe Cocker: Mad Dogs and Englishmen, now a rock-and-roll classic.
Like the original, The Bay Area’s Space Orchestra is an eclectic mash-up of all- stars known for their stellar work in other top Bay Area bands. With a three-piece horn section, four back-up singers and a powerhouse rhythm section of two drummers plus a percussionist, the group recreates the mighty sound of the live album.
The Soul fueled voice of Sebastian Saint James brings Cocker’s lead vocals roaring back to life, driving the all star band through hits by the Rolling Stones, Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, Bob Dylan and more. Highlights include Delta Lady, Space Captain, Feeling Alright, and an unforgettable version of She Came in through the Bathroom Window. This is big sound at its best.
Stanley Mouse: An American artist who is notable for his 1960s psychedelic rock concert poster designs and album covers for the Grateful Dead, Journey, and other bands.
He will be live painting during both shows
Night will open with short performances by:
Sebastian Saint James
The Incubators
and Twin Soles
This event is possible thanks to our sponsors Heritage Salvage, Hopmonk and Belly Left Coast Kitchen
