BIG NEWS!

A New Era Begins…

Hello TLC extended family!!

Well, it’s been a long, stressful year of searching; but after a couple near misses….

WE FINALLY HAVE SIGNED A LEASE FOR OUR NEW SF LOCATION IN NORTH BEACH!!!

What’s exciting is this is right across from Cobb’s Comedy Club and Bimbo’s; and a Cable Car stops right in front! (How SF is that?!!!)

I was originally hoping for a new home within the Mission or Financial District; but there was nothing that met our requirements. However, when I saw this space in North Beach, and the owner was amenable to our price range; I knew we’d found our new long term home!

We still have a number of hurdles to jump through to get this thing open, but with your support and our partners in the City of San Francisco; we’re dreaming of starting shows in the Spring/Summer of 2022.

So… WOOOOO-MO’FO-HOOOOOO!!! Thanks for sticking with us in these times of change, and I can’t wait to see you all in the new space!!!

FRIDAY, October 29th: Fynch Meep featuring Nick Pim & Yedmondontic with guests Emily the Whistling Wonder and Sam the Tap Dancer

Nick Pim is a jazzy folky guitar player with weird melodies and compassionately honest lyrics. He is tender when he sings, however, every so often, he surprises the room with a dead-serious shout.

Yedmondon spends their days indecisive over whether to make filthy Electronic Music or sweet soulful tunes about shepherding. Subsequently, both realms are straddled elegantly. Nylon-stringed guitar, professionally trained voice, and hilarious subject matter.

SATURDAY, October 30th: John Courage’s Decade of Rock: 10 Year Anniversary Special Acoustic Set

Longtime local John Courage celebrates 10 years of fun and friendship with his current trio members, Francesco Echo and Dan Ford. In honor of the event, they will be performing the new self titled acoustic EP in it’s entirety, followed by a set of band favorites reimagined for the space and evening with stripped back arrangements.

Special guests include original member Kevin Carducci of Low Star Rodeo, and formerly of The Easy Leaves. Also joining the band is longtime collaborator and local superstar Schlee.
