SUMMARY:The Glass Key Trio
DESCRIPTION:The Glass Key Trio explores original compositions inspired by Americana\, Jazz\, Classical\, Folk\, Balkan and Arabic music and film Noir at the Lost Church. \nJeremy Bleich – guitar/electronics\nBen Wright – acoustic bass\nMilton Villarrubia III – drums \n​\n“The thing about knowing rules in music is that you can then break them in creative and purposeful ways. That’s been key to Jeremy Bleich’s wide-ranging musical practice for decades. The New Mexico-residing educator\, composer\, improviser and multi-instrumentalist brings a ton of traditions to the table with Glass Key Trio\, including Arabic\, Balkan and American folk music\, as well as contemporary art music and the particular elegant strain of blues-schooled music that soundtracks film noir… The sounds are cool\, but the group interaction\, in and around the interstices of the compositional framework\, is what really makes it come alive — the music is almost like a fourth player whom the other three are playing off of as they conjure it into being.” \n– Stephen Trageser – Nashville Scene

SUMMARY:Katy Stephan
DESCRIPTION:Kathy Stephan brings torch songs\, swing standards\, and a touch of twang to the Comstock Saloon’s polished‑but‑raucous barroom. Her voice leans into the room’s natural reverb\, floating over brushed drums\, piano\, and upright bass while cocktails clink and the lights stay low. Expect classic tunes\, a few deep‑cut surprises\, and the kind of between‑song banter that makes the band feel like part of the crowd. It’s the perfect soundtrack for settling into a leather booth\, ordering something stirred\, and letting the night stretch out a little longer than you planned.

SUMMARY:Dirty Works Jazz Jam & Burlesque Show

The band prioritizes a polished\, professional sound\, ensuring that even the most experimental improvisations remain engaging for the listeners in the room. \nPro Tip: If you’re looking to play\, ask for “the Bass dude”. \n\nAbout Kyle Finley \nKyle Finley is a San Francisco-based upright bassist and the driving force behind the Dirty Works musical collective. His mission is to foster a “living jazz scene” through consistent residencies and jams that prioritize musical excellence and community.

SUMMARY:Johnny Z and the Camaros
DESCRIPTION:Witness a true piece of San Francisco musical history as Johnny Z and the Camaros take the stage at Tupelo. If you’ve spent any time in the city’s jazz and rock circuits over the last few decades\, you likely know this band; they famously served as the house band for the legendary Gold Dust Lounge for over 20 years. Bringing that same “workhorse” energy to North Beach\, the Camaros deliver a high-fidelity\, veteran performance that proves why they are often called the “tightest band in the land.” \nThe Sound: Led by vocalist and guitarist John R. Nichols (aka Johnny Z)\, the band occupies a “sweet spot” of Classic Rock\, Soul\, Blues\, and Country. Their style is heavily influenced by 20th-century R&B giants like Otis Redding and Sam & Dave\, often peppered with “Surf action” instrumentals that highlight Johnny Z’s virtuosic guitar work. \nThe Catalog: With a repertoire built from playing seven nights a week for two decades\, their songbook is staggering. Expect a seamless transition from soulful Motown grooves to gritty rock-and-roll anthems\, all delivered with the effortless chemistry that only comes from thousands of hours on stage together. \nA North Beach Homecoming: Tupelo is one of the few places where you can still catch this legendary trio in an intimate setting. The venue’s lively\, red-lit atmosphere perfectly matches the band’s high-energy\, “no-nonsense” approach to live performance. \nNo Cover: This elite piece of San Francisco history is open to the public with no cover charge. It is a must-see for anyone wanting to experience the authentic sound of the city’s musical backbone. \n\nAbout Johnny Z and the Camaros\nJohnny Z (John R. Nichols) comes from a deep musical pedigree; his father was a trombonist for the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. After decades of performing with jazz greats and founding various rock outfits\, Nichols established the Camaros as a premier power trio. Known for his “restless melodicism” and soulful vocals\, Johnny Z is joined by a veteran rhythm section—typically featuring “Richie Camaro” on drums and “Stevie Camaro” on bass. Together\, they represent the “last of the live music breed\,” dedicated to preserving the raw\, spontaneous energy of the 20th-century American songbook.

At the piano she blends jazz‑inflected originals with reimagined standards and art‑pop tunes\, her clear\, expressive voice sitting right on top of the clink of glassware and low conversation.

SUMMARY:Gaea Shell & Scott Foster
DESCRIPTION:Gaea Schell and Scott Foster perform at Biordi Art Imports\, bringing jazz to North Beach First Fridays. Join them for an engaging performance that blends Schell’s mastery of flute\, piano\, and vocals with Foster’s expressive guitar playing. Experience a night of sophisticated jazz\, rich harmonies\, and Latin-inspired rhythms\, making for a memorable musical event at Biordi Imports. \nGaea Schell is known among her peers for swinging eighth notes\, subtle phrasing and contemplative writing\, Bay area based pianist\, composer\, flutist (and vocalist) Gaea Schell (also late diagnosed autistic) is originally from Alberta\, Canada\, where she grew up playing music from an early age. Recorder lessons at age 6 with family friend\, the late San Francisco based drummer Eddie Marshall\, was one of her first musical ventures. \nPursuit of a classical harp degree led to checking out Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans records in the school library\, inspiring a move East (after declining a Berklee scholarship) and subsequent graduation with distinction from the jazz program at acclaimed McGill University in Montreal. The real learning\, however\, came from playing on the bandstand with respected elders who spent considerable time themselves playing with greats such as Joe Henderson\, Wynton Kelly\, Ella Fitzgerald. Gaea feels “it’s so important to listen\, experience\, and understand the tradition of this music”. \nScott Foster received his Bachelor of Music degree from Berklee College of Music in Boston. He pursued additional music studies at University of California Davis and private studies with Jon Damian\, Rick Peckham and Henry Robinett. Scott is an active performer as leader of the Scott Foster Trio and Quartet and as a sideman with many local groups. His recent recordings range from industrial pop to country and folk to modern jazz. \n

SUMMARY:Sirenland Poetry Book Release Party w/ Jennifer Barone & Duo Pizzicato
DESCRIPTION:Sirenland\, by Jennifer Barone\nBook Release Party & Poetry Reading with Live Music by Duo Pizzicato \nFriday June 5th\, 2026 from 6:30pm – 8:00pm\nTelegraph Hill Books\, 1501 Grant Ave\, San Francisco\, CA 94133\nPresented by Feather Press & Telegraph Hill Arts & Literature \nJoin us for the launch of Sirenland – a new poetry collection by Jennifer Barone\, published by Feather Press. The evening will feature a poetry reading by the author with special guests and live music by Duo Pizzicato\, Italian Mandolins – followed by a book signing. Sirenland\, by Jennifer Barone features 24 original\, color illustrations and photographs by the author. \nA reclamation of personal lineage – Sirenland is a mythic conversation across time with the poet’s ancestors from the Bay of Naples\, Italy. Ancestral spirits rise from sea caves and memory – as the poet reimagines her grandparents as sirens\, singing stories long submerged. \nIn this collection\, the sirens transform from feared monsters to radiant guardians of land\, sea\, and the Napoletani people. The ache of ancestral loss and immigration threads through grottos and sea caves of oracular whisper\, as Vesuvio stirs with ancestral fire and the sea becomes a liminal realm of longing\, alchemy\, and rebirth. \nThough the sirens’ voices have been silenced over centuries\, these poems listen deeply\, inviting their songs to be heard by all who are ready to receive them. \nAbout the Author:\nJennifer Barone is an Italian-American poet and artist\, with roots in the Bay of Naples\, Italy. She is the author of four poetry collections\, including Saporoso: Poems of Italian Food & Love\, Feather Press. A two-time winner of the San Francisco Public Library’s Poets Eleven contest for North Beach\, where Jennifer resides. At Telegraph Hill Books and Libreria Pino\, she curates and hosts Italian-English poetry readings\, leads writing workshops\, and hosts the Voices From the Hill podcast\, interviewing SF Bay Area authors. Her work has been published in multiple literary journals\, and featured at SFMOMA\, de Young Museum\, SFJAZZ Center\, and Marin Poetry Center\, among others.
