SUMMARY:Sunday Artist Series
DESCRIPTION:End your week with a rhythmic bang at the Sunday Artist Series\, a weekly institution at Tupelo that transforms North Beach into a soulful dance party. Hosted by the versatile Shawn Stein\, this residency is built around an “all-pro” house band that provides a world-class foundation for a rotating cast of the Bay Area’s most powerhouse vocalists. From 8:00 PM to midnight\, the room sheds its weekday grit for a polished\, high-fidelity exploration of funk\, R&B\, and soul\, making it the definitive “musician’s hangout” in the neighborhood. \nThe magic of the series lies in its unpredictability and its caliber of talent. Because a different guest artist takes the lead each week\, the sound can pivot from the brassy energy of a James Brown-style funk review to the smooth\, sophisticated textures of modern neo-soul. It is a space where local legends and touring pros often drop in to sit with the band\, creating a “who’s who” environment for the San Francisco music scene. The house band is known for their “deep pocket” and the ability to back any style with technical precision and infectious joy. \nThe atmosphere at Tupelo during the Artist Series is electric yet welcoming\, drawing a diverse crowd of neighborhood regulars\, off-duty musicians\, and soul aficionados. Set against the venue’s classic red-lit stage and historic Grant Avenue backdrop\, the event offers a rare opportunity to experience an elite\, high-energy “dance party throw-down” with no cover charge. Whether you are there to dance off the weekend or simply to appreciate the highest level of local musicianship\, the Sunday Artist Series ensures that the spirit of North Beach soul remains loud and alive.

SUMMARY:Wil Blades Trio ft. Otis McDonald
DESCRIPTION:Wil Blades: \nNo less a jazz organ authority than the legendary Dr. Lonnie Smith has called Wil Blades “the future\,” anointing him the heir apparent to “carry on the legend and the legacy of the organ\, of the B-3.” Over the past twenty plus years\, Blades has grown to be one of the most in-demand Hammond organ players\, achieving international recognition. He is known for his innovative approach to the Hammond organ\, utilizing effects and modern techniques to expand the instrument’s capabilities\, while his energetic live performances have earned him a dedicated following. In 2017\, he won Downbeat Magazine’s “Rising Star” critic’s poll for organ\, after being nominated every year since 2006. \nBlades has performed and recorded with a who’s who of legendary musicians including John Lee Hooker\, John Scofield\, Dr. Lonnie Smith\, Nicholas Payton\, Idris Muhammad\, Charlie Hunter\, Bernard “Pretty” Purdie\, Terrace Martin\, Melvin Sparks\, Joe Louis Walker\, Donald Harrison Jr\, Karl Denson\, Adam Deitch\, Stanton Moore and many more. His solo records ‘Sketchy’ and ‘Field Notes’\, as well as his collaborative projects with Billy Martin\, Amendola Vs. Blades and Charlie Hunter have all received acclaim from critics and audiences alike. \nOtis McDonald: \nFrom the mind and ears of producer/multi-instrumentalist\, Joe Bagale\, comes a sound that is fresh but tangibly rooted in nostalgia. The name is Otis McDonald. The mission? Good Music. In 2015\, Bagale released 80 tracks for free\, under the name Otis McDonald. In 2019 Bagale released a full length album\, “People Music\,” in collaboration with his YouTube subscribers and took over Studio D at the historic Hyde Street Studios\, in San Francisco. Whether it’s performing\, writing\, producing\, or coming up with new ways to engage with his fans\, Otis McDonald plans on giving the world a dose of the past while always looking to the future.

SUMMARY:Gaucho Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Gaucho is a masterful Bay Area band that combines the influence of gypsy jazz of 1930’s Europe with the rhythmic drive and collective improvisation of New Orleans swing music\, gutbucket blues and elements of ragtime. Their sound\, a uniquely American concoction\, blends instrumental acuity and lighthearted humor that keep their audience coming back for more. As founder\, guitarist\, and main composer Dave Ricketts says\, the band is “in love with the music of Louis Armstrong\, Fats Waller and Jimmie Rodgers\, as well as the stories\, the life styles and the foot steps of hundreds of other great jazz\, blues\, country and rock musicians that created the sound of American Music from roughly 1900-1950’s” \nGaucho has recorded eight albums\, tours regularly\, and has an increasing repertoire of over forty original tunes. Seven of their tunes are featured in the 2012 film “Trattoria”; one was chosen by the Metropolitan Museum of Art for their website; and another is featured in the outtakes section of the Pixar DVD CARS 2. In 2018\, Gaucho got a song in the Hollywood Movie “Destination Wedding” starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder. And two of Dave’s own compositions will be placed in a New York City based indie film\, “Stationed at Home\,” in 2022. \nLed by eminent guitarist\, Dave Ricketts\, the group has been a San Francisco mainstay for nearly twenty years\, and one of the busiest bands in the bay area playing 5 to 10 gigs a week. Together with virtuosos Rob Reich–accordion and Craig Venetresco–guitar\, superlative bassist Ari Munkres\, the honorable Leon Oakley–cornet\, and versatile percussionist Steve Apple\, these guys keep crowds moving with their beats and complex rhythms.

SUMMARY:Giggles and Licks
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a night of rhythmic mastery as Giggles and Licks takes the stage at Tupelo. This funky three-piece soul group is a favorite among the North Beach music community\, known for their ability to command a room with nothing more than raw talent and a deep\, infectious pocket. Stripping soul music down to its most potent elements\, this trio proves that you don’t need a large ensemble to create a massive\, danceable sound. \nThe Sound: Giggles and Licks specializes in Funky Soul and R&B. Their style is defined by “tasty guitar lickings\,” a driving bassline\, and a drummer who knows exactly how to hold the groove. Expect a set that leans into the pocket-heavy tradition of The Meters and Stax Records\, blended with soulful vocal arrangements that keep the energy bright and engaging. \nThe Trio Dynamic: As a classic power trio\, the band thrives on improvisational chemistry. Because there are only three musicians on stage\, there is an incredible amount of space for “licks” and solos\, making their performances a treat for those who appreciate technical instrumental skill alongside a good dance beat. \nThe “Giggles” Spirit: True to their name\, the band brings a lighthearted\, high-spirited energy to the stage. They are known for their “unpretentious mastery”—taking the music seriously while ensuring the audience has a blast. It is the perfect soundtrack for a rowdy night in North Beach. \nNo Cover: This performance is a “No Cover” event\, making it one of the best values for live music on Grant Avenue. It’s an ideal spot to grab a drink\, find a place on the dance floor\, and experience some of the city’s tightest soul musicians in an intimate setting. \n\nAbout Giggles and Licks\nGiggles and Licks is a staple of the San Francisco live circuit\, frequently appearing at venues that prioritize real\, musician-led grooves. While they maintain a playful stage presence\, the members are seasoned pros who have spent years backing various soul and funk projects across the Bay Area. Known for their “restless melodicism” and tight-knit arrangements\, they have built a reputation as a “musician’s band” that still knows how to throw a party for the masses.

SUMMARY:Live Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Paris 75’s rotating jazz bands turn this corner of North Beach into a little slice of the Left Bank. Each week a different small ensemble—trios\, quartets\, and vocal groups—leans into swing\, standards\, and café‑style jazz that pairs naturally with wine\, cocktails\, charcuterie\, and late‑night conversation. The vibe is intimate and unhurried: close‑up solos\, brushed drums\, and melodies that drift through the room while guests linger over another round.
