Join the Students Rock Foundation for their second annual benefit concert featuring co-headliners Kevin Beadles Band and the Jolly Gibsons, as well as Andrea Hurley and her Very Attractive Band, and Berkeley-based comedian Jacob Rubin as master of ceremonies. With proceeds going toward Bay Area performing arts scholarships, this is a great show for a great cause!
| Kevin
Beadles and his band (guitarist John Foster, multi-instrumentalist
Steve Gibson, and drummer Jeremy Steinkoler) unite rock with the
back-porch drawl of gospel, blues, and alt-country. Singer-songwriter
Steve Seskin says that "Kevin's lyrics are inspired. He writes hooky
songs about real life and delivers them with a passionate,soulful
voice.” |
| Deep grooves and tight arrangements are the order of the evening
when the Jolly Gibsons bring their blend of New Orleans funk, twangy
blues, second-line romps, and jazz-rock jams. Keyboardist Jennifer Jolly
and multi-instrumentalist Steve Gibson lead, with Dave Fischer on bass
and Mark Bernfield on drums.
|
| Andrea is an upbeat performer who draws her material from blues,
rock, pop, folk, and punk. With original songs about life and love,
Andrea and her band connect with the audience in a way that leaves them
satisfied and smiling. |
| Master of ceremonies Jacob broke into the comedy scene in late
2010, and has performed his “100 percent true stories that might be
totally made up” at San Francisco's Purple Onion and Punchline, along
with the Comedy Store in Hollywood. |
