Gaucho
A gypsy jazz sextet, was formed in 2002. The lineup consists of Dave Ricketts & Michael Groh on guitars, Ari Munkers on standup bass, Rob Reich on accordion, Ralph Carney on horns and Pete Devine on drums & percussion. On occasion, guest artists bring their own spice to the mix. Starting with the sound of modern gypsy players like Bireli Lagrene, Stocholo Rosenberg, & Robin Nolan, Gaucho fuses together a diverse palette of styles. Though we trace our lineage to Django Reinhardt, Stephen Grapelli and “jazz manouche” Gaucho strives for a singular acoustic voice.

Tri Tip Trio
This band has all the ingredients to kick a dance off and sustain powerful grooves for the whole night. Their sound is based on Clifton and Cleveland Chenier's early zydeco/blues dance hall sounds. Lloyd Meadows' mesmerizing washboard, hamonica, and soulful vocals with Bruce Gordon's accordion and Tyler Eng's drumming, is all Tri Tip needs to capture the raw, exciting sounds to satisfy both listeners and dancers. The repertoire covers zydeco, blues, New Orleans funk and originals.

Bruce and Lloyd are both longtime Bay Area Blues and Zydeco veterans. They shared the stage for many years, performing with the Zydeco Flames, a band they founded in 1990. they are bringing their unique chemistry back to the stage with Tri Tip Trio. the trio members have had varied and extensive careers of their own. They have played independently with a Who's Who of local and national talent including Elvin Bishop, Norton Buffulo, Tom Rigney, Annie Sampson, Mal Sharpe, Jackie Payne, Chris Cain, Luther Tucker and Sonny Rhodes.
