SUMMARY:Dewayne Oakley and Ralph Nelson

His style is firmly rooted in hard bop\, bringing a melodic versatility that dances effortlessly between blues grit and jazz precision. \nThe Experience\nThe Setting: Relax on the expansive\, heated sidewalk patio—one of the best people-watching spots in the city.

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: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
