Electric Adventures From the Hanson-Manring-Amendola Trio

Following last year's sold-out show at the Back Room, this eclectic trio brings their unique, funky blend of sounds back to the same venue, for a Sunday evening show. The musicians are Paul Hanson on bassoon and electronics; Michael Manring on bass, hyperbass, and electronics, and Scott Amendola on drums and (you guessed it!) electronics.

EVENT COST: Tickets are about $28 per person online (or, if the show doesn't sell out in advance, you can buy a ticket at the door for $25 with either cash or Venmo). I also welcome $1.00 donations to defray the hefty fee that Meetup charges me as lead organizer of the Live Jazz (& Blues) Group.

TICKET INFO: Buy your own tickets at the link shown below.

SEATING: General admission, mainly on couches, in a casual, pleasantly funky, coffeehouse-type setting

WHEN/WHERE TO MEET: Unless joining me for the optional pre-show dinner, meet me out front of the Back Room by 6:30 p.m., so we can get seats together. (The show is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m. and will likely consist of two sets, ending at about 9:00 p.m.) If we miss each other there, look for each other in the seating area.

HOW TO FIND ME: I'm WF, 5 feet tall, with short, salt-and-pepper hair, and glasses. (See my photo with my Meetup profile.) I'll send my cellphone number and more info to RSVPers prior to the event. PLEASE TEXT ME IF YOU DON'T SPOT ME.

OPTIONAL PRE-SHOW DINNER: At Tender Greens, a good fast-casual place on University near Shattuck, at 5:30 p.m. Please indicate before the event date if you're interested in that.

(NOTE: NO food or drink is sold at the Back Room, but you are free to bring your own snacks or BYOB.)

PARKING/TRANSIT: Parking is easier to find as you get away from Shattuck OR as you go north of University. There is also a paid garage a few blocks away, but folks typically find free parking on side streets or main streets. http://backroommusic.com/transportation-parking/

LOCATION: The Back Room is located just off University, about a block from MLK (and Trader Joe's), on AC Transit bus routes, and less than a half-mile from the downtown Berkeley BART station.
