The Alley is one of the few remaining piano bars in the Bay Area. It is one of a kind. Rod Dibble has played there, 5 nights a week, for the last 50 years! In addition to the music, the bar is also known for it's ambiance. Patrons leave business cards on the wall, and some of the cards also date back 50 years. However, these cards are only one aspect of the decor that makes The Alley a colorful, and truly memorable dive bar. Many of you might not know that, in addition to his skills as a performer and a teacher, John King is also a composer. This week pianist David Oloachea will play John's Piano Sonata as part of the Piedmont Piano's concert series.
When: November 6 at 4PM Where: Piedmont Piano Company's new store located at 1728 San Pablo Ave. in Oakland. For more information please click here. John will join City Swing Big Band this weekend at the annual Solano Stroll in Berkeley. The band will take the center stage, located at 1412 Solano, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday 9/11.
This is a family event, and it is FREE. In addition to the music there is a parade, over 500 vendors, clowns, jugglers, stilt walkers, face painters, magicians, and maybe even wizards and elves! We look forward to seeing you there. Please visit http://www.solanoavenueassn.org/strol.htm for more information, including directions. |
