SUMMARY:Bluegrass Jam
DESCRIPTION:The Lucky Horseshoe hosts its long-standing Bluegrass Jam every Sunday afternoon. Unlike a typical circle jam\, this is a unique “performance” jam where musicians take to the stage to play into microphones for a live crowd. It’s an intermediate-to-advanced level session that brings together the best of the Bay Area’s roots and bluegrass community\, turning the Bernal Heights tavern into a high-energy honky-tonk for three hours every week. \n\n\nThe Performance Format: This session is specifically designed as a “on-stage” experience. Musicians are encouraged to step up to the mic\, fostering a professional yet welcoming atmosphere that bridges the gap between a casual rehearsal and a formal concert. \n\n\nSkill Level Requirements: The jam is tailored for intermediate players who are comfortable leading a vocal or instrumental song. The ability to “call a tune” and guide the ensemble is a key part of the ritual\, ensuring a high-quality listening experience for the patrons in the bar. \n\n\nA Neighborhood Tradition: Sponsored in part by the California Bluegrass Association (CBA)\, the jam is a quintessential Sunday social in Bernal Heights. The “Shoe” provides the perfect wood-paneled backdrop\, complete with strong drinks and a dog-friendly policy that welcomes the whole community. \n\n\nAcoustic & Unplugged: While the stage is amplified\, the heart of the music remains strictly acoustic\, celebrating the traditional sounds of banjo\, fiddle\, mandolin\, and upright bass in their purest forms. \n\n\n\nAbout the Organizer: California Bluegrass Association (CBA) \nThe Sunday Horseshoe Jam is part of the broader mission of the California Bluegrass Association\, a non-profit dedicated to the preservation and promotion of bluegrass\, old-time\, and gospel music. By supporting weekly residencies like this one\, the CBA ensures that traditional American music remains a vibrant\, living part of San Francisco’s urban culture. Whether you are a seasoned picker looking for a stage or a fan of high-speed flatpicking\, these Sunday sessions offer an authentic slice of the “high lonesome sound” right on Cortland Avenue.

SUMMARY:The Good Bad
DESCRIPTION:Prepare for a foot-stomping night as San Francisco’s own The Good Bad brings their explosive brand of bluegrass to Tupelo. A staple of the West Coast “Newgrass” scene since 2010\, this five-piece ensemble delivers a high-velocity take on traditional string music. Known for their tight vocal harmonies and rowdy stage presence\, they turn the standard bluegrass session into a full-blown North Beach party. \nThe Sound: The Good Bad specializes in Progressive Bluegrass (Newgrass). While they use traditional instruments—mandolin\, banjo\, fiddle\, and dobro—their approach is pure rock-and-roll energy. Expect lightning-fast picking\, “raucous” vocal arrangements\, and a “good time” sound designed to be paired with a dash of whiskey. \nThe Lineup: The band features a versatile group of local pickers: \nAaron Lanes: Mandolin & Guitar \nThomas Beneduci: Guitar & Dobro \nPeter Dominici: Banjo \nDave Pascoe: Fiddle \nPaul Geoghan: Bass \n\nNo Cover Hoedown: In a neighborhood known for high-priced entertainment\, this “Good Ol’ Fashioned Ho-Down” remains No Cover. It’s a rare chance to see a band that has shared stages with scene favorites like The Brothers Comatose and The Lil’ Smokies for free. \n\nAbout The Good Bad\nHailing from the foggy hills of San Francisco\, The Good Bad has spent over a decade honing a sound that pushes the boundaries of traditional bluegrass while staying rooted in its acoustic soul. They are veterans of the California festival circuit\, known for their ability to captivate audiences of all ages with their “uniquely rustic tones” and high-energy performance style. Whether they are playing a local tavern or a massive stage like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, their mission is always the same: to move the audience and keep the spirit of the string band alive in the modern era.

Musicians are encouraged to step up to the mic\, fostering a professional yet welcoming atmosphere that bridges the gap between a casual rehearsal and a formal concert. \n\n\nSkill Level Requirements: The jam is tailored for intermediate players who are comfortable leading a vocal or instrumental song.

The “Shoe” provides the perfect wood-paneled backdrop\, complete with strong drinks and a dog-friendly policy that welcomes the whole community. \n\n\nAcoustic & Unplugged: While the stage is amplified\, the heart of the music remains strictly acoustic\, celebrating the traditional sounds of banjo\, fiddle\, mandolin\, and upright bass in their purest forms. \n\n\n\nAbout the Organizer: California Bluegrass Association (CBA) \nThe Sunday Horseshoe Jam is part of the broader mission of the California Bluegrass Association\, a non-profit dedicated to the preservation and promotion of bluegrass\, old-time\, and gospel music.

SUMMARY:The Good Bad
DESCRIPTION:Prepare for a foot-stomping night as San Francisco’s own The Good Bad brings their explosive brand of bluegrass to Tupelo. A staple of the West Coast “Newgrass” scene since 2010\, this five-piece ensemble delivers a high-velocity take on traditional string music. Known for their tight vocal harmonies and rowdy stage presence\, they turn the standard bluegrass session into a full-blown North Beach party. \nThe Sound: The Good Bad specializes in Progressive Bluegrass (Newgrass). While they use traditional instruments—mandolin\, banjo\, fiddle\, and dobro—their approach is pure rock-and-roll energy. Expect lightning-fast picking\, “raucous” vocal arrangements\, and a “good time” sound designed to be paired with a dash of whiskey. \nThe Lineup: The band features a versatile group of local pickers: \nAaron Lanes: Mandolin & Guitar \nThomas Beneduci: Guitar & Dobro \nPeter Dominici: Banjo \nDave Pascoe: Fiddle \nPaul Geoghan: Bass \n\nNo Cover Hoedown: In a neighborhood known for high-priced entertainment\, this “Good Ol’ Fashioned Ho-Down” remains No Cover. It’s a rare chance to see a band that has shared stages with scene favorites like The Brothers Comatose and The Lil’ Smokies for free. \n\nAbout The Good Bad\nHailing from the foggy hills of San Francisco\, The Good Bad has spent over a decade honing a sound that pushes the boundaries of traditional bluegrass while staying rooted in its acoustic soul. They are veterans of the California festival circuit\, known for their ability to captivate audiences of all ages with their “uniquely rustic tones” and high-energy performance style. Whether they are playing a local tavern or a massive stage like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, their mission is always the same: to move the audience and keep the spirit of the string band alive in the modern era.

SUMMARY:Bluegrass Jam
DESCRIPTION:The Lucky Horseshoe hosts its long-standing Bluegrass Jam every Sunday afternoon. Unlike a typical circle jam\, this is a unique “performance” jam where musicians take to the stage to play into microphones for a live crowd. It’s an intermediate-to-advanced level session that brings together the best of the Bay Area’s roots and bluegrass community\, turning the Bernal Heights tavern into a high-energy honky-tonk for three hours every week. \n\n\nThe Performance Format: This session is specifically designed as a “on-stage” experience. Musicians are encouraged to step up to the mic\, fostering a professional yet welcoming atmosphere that bridges the gap between a casual rehearsal and a formal concert. \n\n\nSkill Level Requirements: The jam is tailored for intermediate players who are comfortable leading a vocal or instrumental song. The ability to “call a tune” and guide the ensemble is a key part of the ritual\, ensuring a high-quality listening experience for the patrons in the bar. \n\n\nA Neighborhood Tradition: Sponsored in part by the California Bluegrass Association (CBA)\, the jam is a quintessential Sunday social in Bernal Heights. The “Shoe” provides the perfect wood-paneled backdrop\, complete with strong drinks and a dog-friendly policy that welcomes the whole community. \n\n\nAcoustic & Unplugged: While the stage is amplified\, the heart of the music remains strictly acoustic\, celebrating the traditional sounds of banjo\, fiddle\, mandolin\, and upright bass in their purest forms. \n\n\n\nAbout the Organizer: California Bluegrass Association (CBA) \nThe Sunday Horseshoe Jam is part of the broader mission of the California Bluegrass Association\, a non-profit dedicated to the preservation and promotion of bluegrass\, old-time\, and gospel music. By supporting weekly residencies like this one\, the CBA ensures that traditional American music remains a vibrant\, living part of San Francisco’s urban culture. Whether you are a seasoned picker looking for a stage or a fan of high-speed flatpicking\, these Sunday sessions offer an authentic slice of the “high lonesome sound” right on Cortland Avenue.
