Claire Martin 2nd Show 10:30pm - Midnight - Availability
“For her thirteenth album [A Modern Art], the singer makes impressive efforts to dodge the tried-and-tired of the jazz repertoire. She sings lyrics to a free-flowing Joshua Redman melody and makes Steely Dan’s wry ‘The Things I Miss The Most’ her own. Elsewhere, her versions of such urbane numbers as ‘Everything I’ve Got Belongs to You’ by Rodgers and Hart and Cy Coleman’s ‘Everybody Today is Turning On’ are utterly assured” – John Bungey, The Times.
SOLD OUT Sorry this show is sold out.

Dave Lewis’s 1-Up
Show Time 9:00pm / Doors Open 7:30pm
"...It's a real treat...tight chunky grooves and very exciting and funky sax...this is an absolute breath of fresh air. Dave Lewis...equally excelling in both Jazz and Funk...sets a standard of powerful, firey solos that will be hard to surpass this year. More please!" – Snowboy, Blues and Soul
Led by saxophonist Dave Lewis, 1Up is a real band - the coming together of distinctly individual yet like-minded musicians - all passionately committed to the groove. Dave leads 1UP with raw, lyrical emotion and a horn full of funk. His St. Louis roots come through. He is known on the scene for his distinctive tenor sound and feel. 1Up lays down the deepest groove and within its framework affords space for virtuosic improvisation and breathtaking interplay. Above all it's a true band of outstanding musicians who play as one.
