The exhibit will benefit the Yolo County SPCA and feature an eclectic collection of work ranging from glass and ceramic sculpture to paintings and drawings. Friday nights from 7 to 9 the SPCA will be on hand to adopt animals. The variety of subjects in this exhibition will make it worth the drive to Sacramento. These Backstreet boys plan to play jazz standards and dance music from the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Pianist Kemmerling, saxophonist Steve Roland and drummer Geoffrey Pike will run the gamut of soft background music, spicy Latin tunes and hot swing.
Admission is free.
At the G Street Pub, the increasingly-popular pop band The Brodys will entertain patrons. At the Crest Theatre tonight, jazz will be the soup du jour as eight-string guitar virtuoso Charlie Hunter pairs up with vocalist Patricia Barber and vocalist Kurt Elling. Hunter has single-handedly changed the face of jazz by melting the guitar and bass into one instrument. Though he plays all of his music without electronic aid it literally sounds like two instruments. The distinct styles of Barber and Elling will contrast on stage for this special engagement.
