SUMMARY:Tony Johnson's 230 Jones Street Band
DESCRIPTION:The 230 Jones Street Band is Bird & Beckett’s legacy combo\, with its roots in the Chuck Peterson Trio’s weekly Friday happy hour that kicked off jazz in the bookshop as a regular feature starting 24 years ago. Tony’s one of the mainstays of a generation of players that came up when bebop was America’s hottest commodity! The players that remain never cease to swing\, and love navigating the changes that Charlie Parker\, Dizzy Gillespie\, Bud Powell\, Charlie Christian and confreres innovated in mid-20th century America. Bebop Lives at Bird & Beckett! \n  \nCharlie McCarthy\, saxophone;\nSam Cady\, piano;\nChuck Bennett\, bass;\nTony Johnson\, drums.

SUMMARY:Nashville Honeymoon
DESCRIPTION:Lynne Maes\, rhythm guitar & vocals.\nHank Maninger\, lead guitar & vocals.\nTim Wagar\, bass guitar.\nPaul Revelli drums. \nYou’re in for two sets in honky tonk heaven.  Mainstays of the Bay Area Americana scene\, and the Bird & Beckett bandstand\, for nearly a decade\, Nashville Honeymoon has traversed country\, rockabilly\, bluegrass\, and pop across four albums\, writing songs that uplift the tangled mess of day-to-day life and investigate universal themes of love and loss – often at the same time. Their latest album\, Sidewinder\, is true to its title\, offering a collection of songs that are grounded in classic country while edging into different sounds\, genres\, and themes that run through American pop music.  This is some of the sweetest\, sauciest\, and most sincere country music you’ll ever hear.

SUMMARY:Eric & the In Crowd
DESCRIPTION:Eric and The In Crowd bring classic soul‑jazz and groove to Bird & Beckett\, turning the bookshop into a late‑night listening room. Expect deep cuts and familiar favorites from the Hammond‑B3 era including Everything Happens to Me and other songs starting with E.  This is an intimate set made for close‑up listening: warm bass\, tight rhythm section\, and that relaxed North Beach–adjacent vibe where you can actually hear every note. Come early to grab a seat between the stacks\, then settle in as the band eases from mellow organ grooves into hard‑bop burners and back again. \n  \n\nEric Shifrin\, Piano/Vocals \nDaniel Fabricant\, Bass \nMark Lee\, Drums \n

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:Saul Sierra Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The Saul Sierra Quartet takes the stage at Bird & Beckett Books and Records. Tucked away in the charming Glen Park neighborhood\, this event offers a rare opportunity to hear world-class Latin Jazz in the most intimate of settings—surrounded by thousands of new and used volumes. \nSaul Sierra (Bassist/Composer): Originally from Mexico City and a graduate of Berklee College of Music\, Sierra is a cornerstone of the San Francisco jazz scene. Whether he is performing with the John Santos Sextet or leading his own quartet\, his playing is defined by a deep\, resonant tone and a sophisticated understanding of Afro-Cuban and world rhythms. \nThe Quartet: Sierra’s ensemble features some of the Bay Area’s most formidable improvisers. Expect a set that bridges the gap between technical jazz precision and the infectious\, danceable energy of the Caribbean\, showcasing original compositions and reimagined standards. \nThe Experience\nThe Setting: Bird & Beckett is more than a bookstore; it is a cultural sanctuary. The stage is simply a clearing among the bookshelves\, putting the audience just feet away from the musicians. It is a listening room in the truest sense\, where every pluck of the bass string is heard with crystal clarity. \nThe Stream: For those who can’t make it to Chenery Street\, Bird & Beckett famously live-streams their performances on YouTube and Facebook\, though nothing quite captures the magic of being in the room.
