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.

SUMMARY:Mitch Polzak & The Royal Deuces
DESCRIPTION:Mitch Polzak & The Royal Deuces have the honor of inaugurating The Deluxe’s grand reopening at 1511 Haight Street\, bringing rockabilly and 60s country music to a room that was made for exactly this kind of raw\, reverb-soaked American sound. Polzak delivers the religious fervor of Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash on the uptempo numbers\, then turns around and sells a honky tonk ballad with the quiet sincerity of Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings — a full range of emotion from a performer who understands that great country music is as much about conviction as it is about craft. For a room celebrating its own resurrection\, there may be no more fitting opening night than this.

SUMMARY:Marc Dantona & the Contenders
DESCRIPTION:Marc and the Contenders bring the Bay Area’s premier Waylon Jennings tribute to the Rite Spot\, delivering the outlaw country legend’s music with the passion and authenticity it deserves. The band spans Waylon’s entire career — from his early Nashville days and breakthrough outlaw classics to overlooked gems and beloved collaborations with Willie Nelson — covering the rockers\, the twangers\, the sweet ones\, and the salty ones. Whether you saw Waylon live back in the day or are just discovering the magic of “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys\,” Marc and the Contenders promise a set of pure musical storytelling.

SUMMARY:Maurice Tani – The Sangoire Sets
DESCRIPTION:Maurice Tani at Bird & Beckett presents The Sangoire Sets\, an evening of dark songs of romance from the San Francisco songwriter and guitarist behind Americana band 77 El Deora\, leading a five-piece group. Tani’s playing career reaches back to the 1970s\, when he was lead guitarist in Roy Loney & the Phantom Movers\, the band Loney formed after leaving the Flamin’ Groovies; since the early 2000s he’s built a reputation as one of the region’s sharpest songwriters\, writing noir-tinged narratives of organized crime\, unrequited love\, and the fashion industry that draw as readily on the Great American Songbook\, jazz\, and R&B as on country. He’s joined by English-born vocalist Pam Brandon\, veteran pianist Henry Salvia\, Greg Kehret on bass\, and Kenny Owen on drums.

SUMMARY:The Big Meat Combo
DESCRIPTION:The Big Meat Combo at the Rite Spot revives one of San Francisco’s most beloved cult bar bands\, a psycho-bluegrass outfit that got its start in 1994 when four pizza-kitchen coworkers picked up banjos and guitars as an excuse to drink free beer. Three decades later\, the now seven-piece band still brings a loose\, good-humored energy to its bluegrass and country songs — founding bassist Chewy Marzolo once called them “an unlawfully fun band.” It’s a warm\, high-spirited night true to the Rite Spot’s reputation as a cozy neighborhood spot for live music.

SUMMARY:Zolo-Solo
DESCRIPTION:Zolo-Solo — Chewy Marzolo\, solo — is the happy hour set at the Rite Spot  from the multi-instrumentalist Bay Area musician who drums and arranges for bands including Hammers of Misfortune\, King City\, and The Real McKenzies\, and of course anchors The Big Meat Combo. Ahead of tonight’s night’s full Big Meat Combo show\, he warms up the room alone\, on guitar and vocals.

SUMMARY:Honey Island Swamp Band (Direct from New Orleans) 20th Anniversary Tour
DESCRIPTION:Honey Island Swamp Band brings their thrilling\, roots-soaked sound to the Boom Boom Room — formed in San Francisco in 2005 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina before relocating back to New Orleans\, this five-piece band melds country\, soul\, funk\, and blues into something decidedly New Orleanian with an Americana twist. Melody-driven\, vocal-driven\, and lyric-driven\, the band — Aaron Wilkinson (vocals\, guitar\, mandolin\, harmonica)\, Lee Yankie (guitar\, vocals)\, Chris Spies (keyboards)\, Sam Price (bass\, vocals)\, and Garland Paul (drums\, vocals) — crafts songs that feel at once fresh and like classics you somehow missed the first time around.

SUMMARY:Mitch Polzak & the Royal Deuces
DESCRIPTION:Get ready as Bird & Beckett Books and Records welcomes the “Real Deal” himself\, Mitch Polzak. Whether he’s flat-picking a guitar or tearing through a banjo solo\, Polzak brings a circus-sized energy (literally—he’s a Ringling Bros. descendant) to the most intimate bookstore stage in San Francisco. \nThe Performance\nThe Music: Mitch Polzak and the Royal Deuces are a powerhouse trio that blurs the lines between Rockabilly\, Western Swing\, and high-energy Bluegrass. Polzak\, a 2024 Western Swing Hall of Fame inductee\, is a virtuoso who performs with the “religious fervor” of Jerry Lee Lewis and the storytelling sincerity of Merle Haggard. \nSpecial Guest: For this Sunday’s session\, the band is joined by legendary pedal steel master Joe Goldmark. Expect shimmering\, cosmic country textures to weave through Polzak’s sharp guitar leads. \nThe Atmosphere: This is a “listening room” in the purest sense. With a capacity of just 35 people\, you aren’t just watching a show; you’re sitting in the middle of a high-fidelity jam session surrounded by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. \nThe Setting\nThe Venue: Bird & Beckett is a Glen Park landmark. It’s a space where the scent of old paper meets the heat of a vintage Fender amp. The shop’s Bird & Beckett Cultural Legacy Project ensures that serious musicians like Polzak have a home to preserve the “Old San Francisco” spirit of improvisation. \nThe Ritual: This is a BYOB environment. Grab a bottle from the neighborhood market and settle in for a neighborhood party vibe that feels more like a private salon than a public concert.

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.
