SUMMARY:Rotating Bands at the Lion’s Den
DESCRIPTION:Experience the resurgence of San Francisco’s historic Chinatown nightlife at the Lion’s Den.  Tucked away on Wentworth Place\, this bi-level lounge and performance space blends modern cocktail culture with the East meets West spirit of the Chinatown’s golden age. Every week\, the venue transforms into a unique destination for live music\, featuring a rotating roster of the city’s up and coming funk\, soul\, and R&B ensembles. \nThe Sound: From 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM\, the stage belongs to a curated selection of live bands. The rotation frequently features bands such as Mark Maiden\, Funky Sound Experience\, Jay Neal\, The Groove Foundation\, Baycoin Beats\, and Git With It. Whether it’s deep-pocket funk or smooth contemporary soul\, the music is designed to bridge the gap between a sophisticated lounge set and a packed dance floor. \nThe Atmosphere: The design features plush velvet banquettes\, historic photography\, and dim\, moody lighting. It is a space built for “adult” nightlife—where you can enjoy an Asian-inspired craft cocktail during the live set before the room transitions to a high-energy DJ vibe after 11:00 PM. \nThe Experience: The Lion’s Den is a rare “no cover” gem in the heart of the city\, offering world-class musicianship in an intimate\, stylish setting. It is a place to rediscover the “cool” of Chinatown while supporting the next generation of San Francisco’s musical talent. \n\nA Legacy Reclaimed\nThe Lion’s Den occupies a legendary footprint in San Francisco history. In the 1940s and 50s\, Chinatown was a global nightlife epicenter\, home to iconic clubs like the Forbidden City. The current venue at 57 Wentworth Place was once the site of Dragon A Go Go\, a 1960s hotspot that kept the neighborhood buzzing during the height of the San Francisco counterculture. After decades of relative quiet due to changing zoning laws\, the reopening of The Lion’s Den in 2021 marked the first new nightclub to open in Chinatown in nearly 40 years. Today\, it stands as a cultural bridge\, honoring the glamour of the “Harlem of the West” era while providing a vital modern stage for Asian-American artists and the local creative community.

This high‑energy busking collective has become one of North Beach’s unofficial “resident joy‑makers\,” blurring the line between band and audience as people pause\, sing along\, or dance on the sidewalk. Whether you are enjoying a gin tonic on the Red Window’s outdoor patio or just walking by with a cannoli in hand\, the Busk provides a genuine 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 represent the best of San Francisco’s musical resilience—keeping the city’s culture loud\, proud\, and accessible to everyone on the street. \n

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

SUMMARY:Pabsy   -AllStar Disco Funk Spectacular -  with Airplug
DESCRIPTION:Appearing at the Boom Boom Room\, Pabsy is a five-piece trance-fusion jamband based in San Francisco\, crafting expansive sonic journeys that blur the lines between funk\, psychedelia\, electronic grooves\, and improvisational rock. Known for pushing musical boundaries with adventurous original compositions\, the band channels the exploratory spirit of jam culture while building a sound that feels both futuristic and deeply organic. \nDrawing inspiration from acts like The Disco Biscuits\, Lotus\, Papadosio\, STS9\, The Grateful Dead\, and Phish\, Pabsy blends pulsing trance rhythms\, deep funk pockets\, and kaleidoscopic improvisation into long-form sets that evolve night after night. Their live performances are immersive experiences—layered grooves\, soaring melodies\, and spontaneous jams that carry audiences through hypnotic peaks and cosmic detours. \nAt the heart of Pabsy’s creative universe is an unfolding rock opera set in a surreal post-apocalyptic world. In this mythos\, rival factions of humanoid roaches—known as the Blattodeans—and mysterious frog civilizations battle for control of the legendary City of Blue Ribbon. Strange technologies and forgotten relics—uranium titanium cores\, rogue nanobots\, and fractured memories of a lost world—shape the story’s strange landscape. \nGuiding listeners through this universe are eccentric characters like Pabsy Bon Roach\, the unlikely hero navigating amnesia and destiny\, and Tim the Mothman\, a cryptic figure hovering between prophecy and chaos. The saga unfolds across songs like shifting chapters\, weaving themes of transformation\, memory\, and the symbolism of the color wheel into sprawling musical narratives. \nThe result is something epic\, strange\, and unmistakably Pabsy: a psychedelic jamband odyssey where funk grooves meet trance pulses\, improvisation meets storytelling\, and every show opens another portal into their ever-expanding world. \nBand Members: \nAlex Youngberg – Guitar\, Vocals\nNoah Stid – Guitar\, Vocals\nJeremy Warner – Bass\nSpencer Gump – Drums\nJonathan Newman – Keyboards\, Vocals

SUMMARY:Rotating Bands at the Lion’s Den
DESCRIPTION:Experience the resurgence of San Francisco’s historic Chinatown nightlife at the Lion’s Den.  Tucked away on Wentworth Place\, this bi-level lounge and performance space blends modern cocktail culture with the East meets West spirit of the Chinatown’s golden age. Every week\, the venue transforms into a unique destination for live music\, featuring a rotating roster of the city’s up and coming funk\, soul\, and R&B ensembles. \nThe Sound: From 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM\, the stage belongs to a curated selection of live bands. The rotation frequently features bands such as Mark Maiden\, Funky Sound Experience\, Jay Neal\, The Groove Foundation\, Baycoin Beats\, and Git With It. Whether it’s deep-pocket funk or smooth contemporary soul\, the music is designed to bridge the gap between a sophisticated lounge set and a packed dance floor. \nThe Atmosphere: The design features plush velvet banquettes\, historic photography\, and dim\, moody lighting. It is a space built for “adult” nightlife—where you can enjoy an Asian-inspired craft cocktail during the live set before the room transitions to a high-energy DJ vibe after 11:00 PM. \nThe Experience: The Lion’s Den is a rare “no cover” gem in the heart of the city\, offering world-class musicianship in an intimate\, stylish setting. It is a place to rediscover the “cool” of Chinatown while supporting the next generation of San Francisco’s musical talent. \n\nA Legacy Reclaimed\nThe Lion’s Den occupies a legendary footprint in San Francisco history. In the 1940s and 50s\, Chinatown was a global nightlife epicenter\, home to iconic clubs like the Forbidden City. The current venue at 57 Wentworth Place was once the site of Dragon A Go Go\, a 1960s hotspot that kept the neighborhood buzzing during the height of the San Francisco counterculture. After decades of relative quiet due to changing zoning laws\, the reopening of The Lion’s Den in 2021 marked the first new nightclub to open in Chinatown in nearly 40 years. Today\, it stands as a cultural bridge\, honoring the glamour of the “Harlem of the West” era while providing a vital modern stage for Asian-American artists and the local creative community.

SUMMARY:Rotating Bands at the Lion’s Den
DESCRIPTION:Experience the resurgence of San Francisco’s historic Chinatown nightlife at the Lion’s Den.  Tucked away on Wentworth Place\, this bi-level lounge and performance space blends modern cocktail culture with the East meets West spirit of the Chinatown’s golden age. Every week\, the venue transforms into a unique destination for live music\, featuring a rotating roster of the city’s up and coming funk\, soul\, and R&B ensembles. \nThe Sound: From 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM\, the stage belongs to a curated selection of live bands. The rotation frequently features bands such as Mark Maiden\, Funky Sound Experience\, Jay Neal\, The Groove Foundation\, Baycoin Beats\, and Git With It. Whether it’s deep-pocket funk or smooth contemporary soul\, the music is designed to bridge the gap between a sophisticated lounge set and a packed dance floor. \nThe Atmosphere: The design features plush velvet banquettes\, historic photography\, and dim\, moody lighting. It is a space built for “adult” nightlife—where you can enjoy an Asian-inspired craft cocktail during the live set before the room transitions to a high-energy DJ vibe after 11:00 PM. \nThe Experience: The Lion’s Den is a rare “no cover” gem in the heart of the city\, offering world-class musicianship in an intimate\, stylish setting. It is a place to rediscover the “cool” of Chinatown while supporting the next generation of San Francisco’s musical talent. \n\nA Legacy Reclaimed\nThe Lion’s Den occupies a legendary footprint in San Francisco history. In the 1940s and 50s\, Chinatown was a global nightlife epicenter\, home to iconic clubs like the Forbidden City. The current venue at 57 Wentworth Place was once the site of Dragon A Go Go\, a 1960s hotspot that kept the neighborhood buzzing during the height of the San Francisco counterculture. After decades of relative quiet due to changing zoning laws\, the reopening of The Lion’s Den in 2021 marked the first new nightclub to open in Chinatown in nearly 40 years. Today\, it stands as a cultural bridge\, honoring the glamour of the “Harlem of the West” era while providing a vital modern stage for Asian-American artists and the local creative community.

SUMMARY:Howard Wiley
DESCRIPTION:Howard Wiley presents a celebration of soul-jazz\, funk\, gospel\, and R&B steeped in West Coast flavor at Keys Jazz Bistro combining hard-driving originals with a funkified selection of classics. \nWiley has been a standout on the Bay Area music scene since he was a teenager in the mid-1990s\, and he’s taken on the mantle of mentor\, sage\, and prophet of jazz. More specifically\, jazz as a populist art form that thrives best when its shared roots with blues\, funk\, R&B\, soul\, hip-hop\, and gospel live close to the surface.

SUMMARY:Zoo Band
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain kind of electricity that doesn’t come from wires and screens\, but from roaring musicians locked onto the same pulse\, bending time until the groove feels like it shakes the earth and could stretch forever. That’s Zoo Band.\nRooted in the Bay Area and built for the moment\, Zoo is a soul-drenched\, jam-powered collective where tight musicianship meets wild improvisation.  Larry “Zoo” commands keys and vocals with a storyteller’s instinct.  On guitar\, Jordan (of Too Pretty for Radio) threads and shreds.  Manny layers rich keyboard textures that form badass sonic landscapes.  Andy’s bass doesn’t just hold it down\, it’s Funky.  Jeff Dukes drives it all from the drums bangin’ precision fire beats.  Mike’s saxophone is pure soul energy.\nTogether\, they build from deep funk to cosmic jam\, from simmering soul to explosive peaks. No two shows are the same because Zoo locks in with the audience as the seventh member of the band.\nStanding on the shoulders of the giants of 60s/70s Funk/Soul/Motown\, but grounded in their own unmistakable sound\, Zoo delivers pure joy with dance-compelling grooves that move!   Step into the Zoo safari.  This is the Zoo party! \nLARRY “ZOO” – Vocals\, Keys\nANDY – Bass\nJORDAN – Lead Guitar\nJEFF DUKES – Drums\nMANNY – Keys\nMIKE – Sax
