The Davis Odd Fellows' Thursday Live! returns on June 6 with singer-songwriter Maurice Tani. Joining Tani will be Mike Anderson on bass and singer Pam Brandon joining in on some vocals.
The show will take place at the Odd Fellows Hall located at 415 Second St. in downtown Davis. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. All ages are welcome. Thursday Live! shows are free, but
donations are encouraged to support the musicians.
"We are so proud and thankful for music lovers in our community who continue to keep live music alive and thriving," a Davis Odd Fellows press release stated. "The Davis Odd Fellows Music Committee is proud to be a part of that effort!"
San Francisco's Maurice Tani has been a fixture on the local alt-country scene for more than a decade with his band 77 El Deora, and previously sang and played guitar for the seminal Motown-style party bands Zasu Pitts Memorial Orchestra and Big Bang Beat. The San Francisco Chronicle has praised his "twangy modern country sound" and called his songs "wry yet romantic, tender but aggressive."
Known for his agile guitar style and expressive singing, Maurice Tani's flavor of Americana is a broad spectrum tincture of influences to cure the wide range of ills his fertile imagination conjures. While rooted (at times distantly) in country music, his writing is centered on an urban-western perspective. Short musical narratives of life on the left coast. A sort of cinema for the blind. No one blends Americana, Blues and Country quite like Tani.
Robert Sproul from No Depression Magazine stated "I was blown away! Maurice Tani writes songs that sound at once familiar, ethereal, and beautiful. A songwriter's songwriter with recurring themes of his own life experiences."
Thursday Live! is sponsored by the Davis Odd Fellows Music Committee with support from KDRT radio. It's a continuous music series that happens the first Thursday of most months. For more information, or to be put on the email list, contact Juelie Roggli at juelrog@gmail.com
