Let's get frisky with Macy Blackman & The Mighty Fines!

DOORS OPEN 7:30PM - SHOW: 8:00PMThis month Ashkenaz’s Fourth Saturday Swing series presents the hottest Crescent City Soul, from New Orleans greats Dave Bartholomew, Fats Domino, and a host of other favorites, revitalized by pianist Macy Blackman and his hard-driving band the Mighty Fines. They feature music from all three Mighty Fines CDs. The new release, “Friskin’ the Whiskers,” is different from the others in that it is designed not just for R&amp;B partying, but totally for swing dancing, with sizzling songs including “Boogie Woogie Blue Plate” and “Sea Cruise.” Originally from Delaware, Macy Blackman made his professional debut at the age of 12 and has played music most of his life, eventually moving to San Francisco. He put together the Mighty Fines in 2003 with some of the Bay’s top R&amp;B and blues players.  Relocated from New Orleans after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina, Ken “Snakebite” Jacobs became the band’s baritone saxophonist. Nancy Wright sings and plays tenor sax (she’s worked with everyone from Elvin Bishop to B.B. King), alongside drummer Larry Vann (Ron Thompson &amp; the Resistors, Elvin Bishop) and bassist Bing Nathan (formerly of Lavay Smith, Lost Weekend).<a href="http://www.macyblackman.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.macyblackman.com</a>Ticket Prices:GA Presale: $15GA DoS: $20
