LUCK-E-LETTER APRIL 2006: STEVE LUCKY & THE RHUMBA BUMS

 

Good Evening Ladeez & Guntlemen (and you commoner-type folks too)

 

We hereby would like to invite you to one of the multitude of events we're taking part in right quick now, like tonight, tomorrow night, or almost any night you look, we're going to be performing somewhere and we'd like you to be there too.  For instance, Thursday March 30 is one of the all-too-rare appearances by the ledge-and-dairy Carmen Getit! band at Biscuits and Blues in San Francisco.  As some of you already know, we're making our debut with Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums at Joe's of Lafayette on Friday March 1 (and there’s NO cover charge!).  Then four nights in a row on April 4 through the 7th at some of our favorite local venues before we get ready to head to the East Coast the following week for our first appearances there in years.  Tell your friends we’re coming their way, and come on down and see (and hear) what you've been missing!

 

We just got back from the Redwood Coast Jazz Festival in Eureka, CA, where for 3 days we played to enthusiastic audiences and dancers.  And on Saturday night Carmen & Steve joined members of the Paul DeLay band to open the show for headliner & blues piano legend Pinetop Perkins, and to jam along with him.  Pinetop is playing as strong as we’ve heard him in recent years, and sounds and looks great.

 

Now stay tuned for our upcoming shows!
