Over the past decade, jazz pianist and Origin Records recording artist Danny Green has earned recognition as a bandleader and as a composer with a gift for spinning supple, absorbing narratives. Green’s growing portfolio of vibrant sounds – an enchanting mix of jazz, classical, and Brazilian rhythms – has captured the attention of critics around the world, including DownBeat Magazine, Jazziz, San Diego Union Tribune, the Boston Globe, and Public Radio International. Date | Monday, May 9, 2022 at 12pm Location | Athenaeum Music and Arts Library Free Event! It’s no small wonder that Green has earned two San Diego Music awards for Best Jazz Album and an additional award for Best Jazz Artist. His long-time trio includes bassist Justin Grinnell and drummer Julien Cantelm, noteworthy musicians in their own right, and together they have developed a nearly psychic connection as they perform Green’s original compositions and jazz standards. Green takes listeners on a journey that is equal parts introspective and exuberant, and always compelling. The concerts will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. There are no physical tickets for these events. Doors open at 11:50 a.m. Seating is first-come; first-served.

Join Belly Up Tavern as they have a performance by Dennis Quaid and The Sharks! In 2000, after being a guest on the Harry Dean Stanton Band, award-winning actor Dennis Quaid was approached by one of the band's members to start up their own band. Quaid, who had not done music in quite some time agreed to the idea, and soon after Dennis Quaid and the Sharks was born. Since then, the band has gone around playing live shows in many LA clubs, as well as, various other clubs across the country. Dennis Quaid and the Sharks have gained great popularity for their rock 'n' roll / country-soul sound. They perform many original songs as well as covers like Jerry Lee Lewis' Great Balls of Fire, which is fitting for the band since Quaid performed this song in the 1989 Great Balls of Fire movie.
