R&Bay: Goapele Live at Yoshis March 27-29

I have seen Goapele live a couple of times now, and have to say that seeing her at Yoshis is a real treat. The Jack London Square jazz spot is a storied institution that has hosted some of the greatest names in music. It is an honor to perform there, but Oakland's Own Neo-Soulstress is certainly deserving. The intimate venue is the perfect backdrop for her soaring transcendent voice and her tight live band. And maybe if you're lucky, Clyde Carson will make a cameo to perform "Different" like he did last time she played Yoshis (see pic abaove).

Tickets are $28 for each of the six weekend shows. Click here to purchase. You don't want to miss this! Trust

Mos Def to perform at Yoshi's in Oakland

Just heard through the wire that Mos Def will be doing three dates at Yoshi's down in Jack London Square from April 14-16. The famous jazz venue occasionally opens its doors to other genres, and they made the wise decision of inviting Mr Black Jack Johnson himself. Yoshi's intimate environs will be perfect for Mos's four-piece live band, hopefuly partly making up for the fact that tickets are $55 a pop. :-/
