August 1st - Kate Gaffney

Since relocating to San Francisco in August of 2009, Kate Gaffney has been playing with some of the best musicians the Bay Area has to offer. Hailing originally from Philadelphia, her most recent release, 'The Coachman', featuring contributions from Steve Kimock & Jackie Greene, has been praised by fans and critics alike. Her Thursday night 'Kitchen Sink' sessions at the Connecticut Yankee in S.F. have drawn collaborations with musicians from the likes of ALO, The Waybacks, Jambay, The Floydian Slips, Five Eyed Hand, and Montana Slim, to name a few.  You're never quite sure who will be playing with Kate when you go to a show, but you can be assured that whoever it is, you will not be disappointed.  Kate's goal in moving to the musically diverse area has been to develop new friendships in order to draw inspiration and hopefully to inspire others.  So far, the plan seems to be working.

The group's dead solid songwriting and crisp musicianship is highlighted by the character filled voices of Judge & Lauren Murphy along with red hot guitar work by multi-instrumentalist, Dave Zirbel (pedal steel/lead guitar/lap steel).

From soulful renditions of familiar blues standards, to their gritty and infectious  original tunes, the Soulshine Blues Band has something for everyone. This local favorite never ceases to get the crowd moving, and always seem to be on a mission to out-do themselves with every performance, leaving no doubt why they were voted the best blues band in the North Bay. This band does more than keep the blues alive, they give it a much needed shot in the arm and a kick in the... well you get the picture!
