BISS List 4.20.22: Shots Fired + Smoke’N Jazz + Best of this Week

Happy hump day BISS Listers,

I am ready to get over it!  Then I am coming out swinging on Thursday and straight through the weekend… Heading up early to the Hopmonk for a Seder and a Show.

On the way back, we’ll hit DJ Williams Shots Fired at Sweetwater! Spread the word to win tickets.

Then Friday, the BISS staff are all hitting the Great American Music Hall for Moonalice. Spread the word to win tickets.

Saturday, it’s back to the Sweetwater for Janiva Magness.  Spread the word to win tickets.

Then Sunday is gonna be an old-school Sunday Funday…  Little Smoke N Jazz from 12-4p sounds like the perfect way to get ready for BISS Comedy Night at Cobbs at 7p!

Before we get on to the Spotlights for the week, I want to flashback to a few weeks ago just before I left for Ventura to work at Skull and Roses… Spor and I had a magical night out at the Edwardian Ball. Just when I thought I might have forgotten it, I read this fantastic review by our very own Spor and re-lived the entire evening. Click here so you can read it too.

SPOTLIGHT ON FUNK

DJ Williams Shots Fired

April 21st @ Sweetwater Music Hall

Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe guitarist DJ Williams is going hard in the paint with his own band, Shots Fired, from the front lines of Denver’s post-funk scene for a rapidly growing community of faithfuls, who never miss a chance to see Williams perform his originals with a rotating and always-different lineup.
