SUMMARY:The San Francisco Invitational Jam
DESCRIPTION:Step into the inner circle of the city’s music scene with THE San Francisco Invitational Jam at Tupelo. Held every Monday night from 9:00 PM – 1:00 AM\, this is widely considered the definitive jam session for professional players and serious students of the craft. Hosted by the “nastiest rhythm section this side of South Dakota”—Andrew Coutti on drums and Young Blake on bass—the evening serves as a high-stakes proving ground where the Bay Area’s best talent comes to stretch their creative muscles. \nThe Sound: This isn’t your average open mic; it is a high-octane exploration of Roots\, Soul\, R&B\, and Funk. The house band sets a blistering pace\, and the music often leans into deep-pocket grooves and sophisticated jazz-fusion arrangements that demand technical precision and quick improvisational thinking. \nThe “Invitational” Edge: While the session is open to high-level guests\, it maintains an invitational spirit\, meaning the stage is curated to ensure a top-tier musical experience for the audience. Each week features a different special guest vocalist\, ensuring that the “soul” of the night is always fresh and evolving. \nA Networking Hub: Monday nights at Tupelo act as the unofficial headquarters for off-duty working musicians. It’s a place where bandleaders scout for subs\, songwriters find collaborators\, and the community gathers to celebrate the raw\, unscripted power of live music. \nNo Cover\, All Access: Despite the world-class musicianship on display\, there is no cover charge. It provides an accessible “masterclass” environment for fans who want to see how the city’s musical engine runs behind the scenes. \n\nAbout the Invitational Jam\nFounded on the belief that San Francisco needs a consistent home for professional musical dialogue\, the Invitational Jam has outlasted countless other sessions in the city. Hosts Andrew Coutti and Young Blake are veteran players known for their “unprecedented chemistry” and ability to back any guest with a rock-solid\, funky foundation. Over the years\, the jam has hosted everyone from local legends to touring pros\, cementing Tupelo’s reputation as a vital sanctuary for the preservation of San Francisco’s live R&B and Funk traditions.

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.

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:Suzanna Smith
DESCRIPTION:Returning to Keys Jazz Bistro\, Suzanna Smith fronts another stellar ensemble to work her magic around the Peggy Lee songbook. “There are relatively few contemporary female vocalists who evoke Peggy Lee\, at least not genuinely. Suzanna Smith numbers among that rare ilk. That Smith sounds like Lee — slightly breathy and warmly sensual with a hint of huskiness — is undeniable\, but the parallels extend much further. Lee’s ability to not just caress a ballad but smother it in mink has seldom been matched. She was also a sage swinger — never too much\, never too little — as well as a first-rate songwriter. Smith checks all those boxes.” \n— Christopher Louden\, Jazz Times

SUMMARY:Dave Easley Trio
DESCRIPTION:As a young man Dave Easley found himself playing pedal steel with seasoned jazz  musicians twice his age\, including Lin Halliday\, a veteran of the Glenn Miller and  Maynard Ferguson groups. Dave’s first tackling of the classic\, Giant Steps\, was  accompanied with Lin’s personal account of John Coltrane’s private remarks on the  landmark recording. From this\, “jumping into the deep end”\, Dave carried away a sense  of spontaneity combined with a deep work ethic that has carried him through many  years of stage and studio appearances alongside superb performers such as\, Brian  Blade\, Jim Singleton\, Charlie Byrd\, Dr. John\, Coco Robicheaux\, Cyril Neville\, Joni  Mitchell\, Colonel Bruce Hampton\, George Porter\, Peter Rowan\, Ruthie Foster (on her  Grammy nominated\, Let It Burn)\, Howard Levy\, Bill Kreutzman of the Grateful Dead\,  Jeff Matika of Green Day\, Jerry Jemmott…   \nDave’s two most recent releases are Byways of the Moon\, which received a positive  review on NPR and was selected “Best Jazz on Bandcamp” for January 2022\, and  Easley Rider featuring the rhythm section from the Iguanas along with Kass Krebs and  the late\, great\, Alfred Uganda Roberts.

SUMMARY:Magic School Busk
DESCRIPTION:Experience the ultimate “living theater” of North Beach as The Magic School Busk takes up their weekly residency directly in front of The Red Window. Positioned at the vibrant\, sun-soaked corner of Stockton and Columbus\, this high-energy busking collective captures the spontaneous spirit of the neighborhood. \nThe performance is a masterclass in Street Swing and improvisational Jazz. Drawing from the “busking” tradition of New Orleans and the European “Hot Club” sound\, the ensemble specializes in acoustic music that is both technically brilliant and completely unpretentious.

Whether you are enjoying a gin tonic on the Red Window’s outdoor patio or just walking by with a cannoli in hand\, the band provides an elite\, soulful soundtrack that defines the modern North Beach experience. \n\nAbout The Magic School Busk\nBorn from the city’s post-pandemic “street-side” revival\, The Magic School Busk is a collective of veteran Bay Area musicians dedicated to the art of public performance. They emphasize the “acoustic and the authentic\,” eschewing heavy amplification for the natural resonance of brass\, strings\, and woodwinds. Often featuring members from some of the city’s most popular jazz and swing outfits\, the “Busk” is celebrated for its ability to read a crowd and create a party out of thin air. They represent the best of San Francisco’s musical resilience—keeping the city’s culture loud\, proud\, and accessible to everyone on the street. \n

Her poetry is visceral\, darkly humorous\, and intensely psychological—perfectly suited for the atmospheric fog of a San Francisco evening. \n\nI have eaten your desire I have drunk your breath I have slept in your shadow I have lived in your death I have seen the white bird Of your soul in my hand I have heard the low song Of the sea in your land. \n\nFrom “Cris” (1953) \nJoyce Mansour’s work often focused on the subversion of domesticity and the exploration of the “female gothic.” Her writing was a cornerstone of the post-WWII Surrealist movement in Paris\, championed by André Breton himself. Reading her work at the base of Coit Tower—surrounded by the night fog and the mechanical hum of the city—highlights the dreamlike\, disorienting power of her prose. \nThe Ritual: The reading takes place outdoors on the lawn behind Coit Tower. Following a long-standing North Beach tradition\, poets and attendees pass a book of the featured poet’s work around the circle\, with an open invitation for anyone to step forward and read a favorite passage. \nThe Setting: Perched at the summit of Telegraph Hill\, the venue offers a 360-degree backdrop of the city lights and the bay. The combination of Mansour’s surrealist imagery and the quiet\, elevated sanctuary of the tower creates a “transformative and magical” experience that feels disconnected from the modern city below. \nThe Community: This is an unpretentious\, grassroots gathering. Whether you are a lifelong scholar of French Surrealism or a passerby who happened to follow the sound of verse up the Filbert Steps\, you are welcome to join the circle.
