Paul Inman is a singer-songwriter-guitarist/keyboard player/harmonica player and renegade avid poet/artist. Raised near Detroit Michigan, Inman digested much from that locale's sonic landscape before emigrating to Los Angeles where he absorbed the Americana/folk stylings of California's most compelling artists (The Band, Tom Waits, The Heartbreakers, The Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Blood on The Tracks/Desire era Dylan, Van Morrison's Hard Nose the Highway), blending them into a compelling Gothic-tinged folk/pop/rock delivery. Touring both as a trio and as a solo acoustic guitar and piano act, Paul Inman's Delivery have released 4 full-length CD's of deftly performed gothic-tinged Americana infused with folk and pop.

Brown the CousCous is a band formed by Wayne Ulanski, soon after the release of his album “Another Passin’ By” (www.BrownTheCousCous.net), and has evolved to serve as a platform for some of the area’s best musicians.  

Featuring a catalog of both cover and original music their performances today highlight some of their best works and plenty of crowd-pleasers.  Emerging from the bustling music scene in Long Beach, Brown the CousCous has performed at many venues in the Southland.

BfranK is a jazz vocalist and trumpet player. His music is reminiscent of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker and Nat King Cole. Come and enjoy a nice cool evening of jazz!

If Nick Justice’s career has found him lurking below the radar, it’s only because he’s the one that initially put the brakes on. Weaned on the Southern California sound — as represented by the Eagles, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Jackson Browne — he was lured to the Golden State in the late ‘80s and became a journeyman troubador of sorts — busking, paying his dues in various itinerate ensembles and playing for whoever would listen. Eventually he worked his way up to the status of an opening act, serving a support role to number of important outfits — X, the Blasters, the Radiators, INXS, the Del Fuegos and other ‘80s and ‘90s scene-setters.

Justice has a knack for sharing a kind of breezy balladry and while his is a generally unassuming sound, the music is still seeped in sentiment and an easy, affable embrace. Nick Justice is a great storyteller in the true fashion of the traveling Troubador. With 5 previous critically acclaimed solo records and one collaboration with The SideMen, Justice is currently finishing up his 6th solo record titled "Stranger in My Town" produced by folk legend Joel Rafael and a supporting cast of Greg Leisz on pedal steel and dobro (Jackson Browne Band), Mai Leisz on bass (David Crosby Band), and Richard Stekol on guitar (Honk, Funky Kings).

Mike Jacoby is a Long Beach-based Singer-Songwriter who’s been performing on the scene for years. Armed with an undying love for rock ‘n‘ roll music, Mike Jacoby is a multi-faceted musical artist dedicated to showcasing his brilliant songwriting.

That’s the most important part because the song always comes first. With a love for music born in classic rock ‘n‘ roll, his writing is firmly rooted in the Americana and Alt-Country veins.  Mike Jacoby always brings a fresh and unique perspective into the story of the song. His songs range from insightful to silly, from harrowing to hilarious. They can make you think and they can make you laugh – often at the same time.

Mike will be playing solo versions of songs from his most recent release "The Long Haul" by The Mike Jacoby Electric Trio, as well as diving into his vast repertoire of superb original songs and fantastic cover tunes.
