TWISTER! was a success!

Last Tuesday night Justin and Koko Cocktails in SF were so kind as to allow me a chance to put a long held idea into action. I had my debut night of my new bi-monthly Happy Hour DJ sonic experience: TWISTER! Steve Roberts the mastermind of The Aces High Rhythm & Soul Society (which I also belong to) was my first guest. We had a great time...a lot of our friends came out to support and even some of the bar regulars also chimed in on the enjoyment of our tune selections! We are still working out the exact schedule for the night, but be sure to check us out again next Tuesday, March 24th, 6:30-9:30pm. My special guest for this night will be Mark Gorney, AKA Tip Top Sounds and the host of two very amazing clubs of his own, Feel the Rhythm @ The Make Out Room, every 2nd Wed. 10pm-2am & Music Like Dirt @ Skylark every Friday Happy Hour 7:30-10pm, both in San Francisco and featuring classic reggae revives, rocksteady & the like.

TWISTER! is a musical journey through space & time...you will hear everything from 60s & 70s jazz, soul, funk & country, disco, 80s, UK sounds, Jamaican sounds, reggae, Brazilian, etc., etc. I hope you will come down to Koko's to join in the sonic journey! See ya there!
