Douglas Beach House
San Francisco, CA

Widely respected in the jazz world as drummer/composer/leader of The Fellowship Band, Brian Blade and is also known as the drummer for many heroes of the music world, including Daniel Lanois, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Wayne Shorter, Seal, Bill Frisell, and Emmylou Harris. His undeniably melodic approach is brought to the forefront with the Fellowship Band, a long-running ensemble far more concerned with creativity than studio output.

Last April, the sextet released their first record in almost eight years – Season of Changes. But that’s not to say they’ve been on sabbatical. On the contrary, the group has maintained a steady schedule of live appearances and fostered a deep level of musical communication that is at once dead-serious, completely relaxed, and refreshingly honest.

About The Venue:

The Douglas Beach House is a legendary oceanfront live music club in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is home to the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society, a non profit organization that has been presenting Sunday afternoon headliner Jazz and Classical Music with an ocean view since 1964.

Located directly on Miramar Beach in Half Moon Bay, 45 minutes from San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the Bach Society is a major contributor to the San Francisco live jazz scene by presenting national touring jazz concerts and classical performances in an intimate venue.

According to the musicians, the Douglas Beach House is “the best small venue in the United States.” Founder, Pete Douglas, says, “We bring a chamber approach to music in a casual beachfront setting, respectful of both the artist and the audience.” All performances are open to the public and partially supported by members and contributors. Buffet and drinks available although you can bring your own wine!
