I don't often give wholehearted concert recommendations, but this is guaranteed to be a great concert! Two wonderful friends of mine are joining up for a concert at the Revolution Cafe in San Francisco. And the best part about it? It's FREE!

I have known violinist Zack Kline of Orange Mighty Trio since we were wee lads in Colorado, and I must say that his Minneapolis-based band is one of the tightest group of musicians I have run across. Take one part Bluegrass fiddling and combine with Classical technique and compositional chops, add a range of improvisation, especially Jazz flavor, and you might get a recipe for the Orange Mighty Trio’s fresh new music. Their music will definitely provoke awe and inspiration - a must see!

Emily Zisman has blossomed into an incredible singer/songwriter, whose lyrics obviously come from her heart and have the ability to touch even the most calloused soul. Influenced by the Difranco/McLaughlin school of contemporary folk, Emily's dynamic voice is a joy to be heard. And yes, I'll be joining her band on violin. :-)

Both Emily and OMT have recently released albums which will be for sale at the show, so be sure to come and check them out!
