BISS List 11.12.26 Spotlight on Mike Olmos + The Best of BISS This Week and More

Hey BISS Listers!

Happy birthday to all my Scorpio friends! My calendar is full of birthdays this month, including the late, great Robert “Bo” Mahoney, who would have turned 60 this Sunday. Sending a little extra love his way, and birthday love to everyone celebrating. With Thanksgiving around the corner and holiday plans already filling up December, there are plenty of reasons to get together. First, let’s see where the music takes us this month!

Last Week in Review: Three nights, three very different shows! Thursday was GLIDE Holiday Jam at The Warfield with Patti LaBelle. Friday brought Koobi Fora and Free Moment to the Boom Boom Room, including a guest appearance from Sunshine Becker. Saturday was Karina Rykman with Roni Kaspi opening at The Independent. I’ve been doing a bunch of updates on YouTube, make sure you are following to catch them all!
