John Brothers Piano Company is an Oakland-based instrumental quartet whose compositions oscillate between incisive part-writing and unrestrained improvisational energy. Guided by this interplay, seemingly disparate influences, from chamber music to hot jazz, are focused through emphatic lyricism. + The Dogweeds (Oakland, Ca) are an Americana Roots Music band with sister-style vocal harmonies, sweet retro grooves and red hot musicianship. Blending classics from Western Swing to 70’s country with heart melting originals.
