A fourth CD, “LIFT,” which many feel is the band’s best effort to date, and animated video has been released and is available at their Web site. www.aliencowboys.com The Bingtones plus Wendy Waller Band Arbor Bay School Benefit presented by Voices of Latin Rock Saturday, Feb 25, 2006, 8 p.m. $16 adv./$18 door Join Bing and the Bingtones as they perform their style of “Rhythmic Nighttime Music with a Soul,” reminiscent of the great horn groups of the 70s and 80s, such as Tower of Power, Sons of Champlin and Cold Blood. Bing, an East Coast native of New Jersey, is a hopeless romantic who has composed music that richly describes our life and thoughts from everything from love to our lives since 9/11. Bing has joined forces with the “Funk Administrator” and co-producer Jerry Pelizzer to put the heartbeat and soul to Bing’s music. The Bingtones are composed of veteran musicians who have played with the likes of Malo, Cold Blood, Santana and Etta James. With such a wide spectrum of experience the Bingtones have hit the ground running in bringing to life the music that Bing and Jerry have put together. www.bingmusic.com Soul music runs in Wendy Waller’s family. The ability to reach down deep to a sacred place inside herself goes all the way back to Waller’s great-grandfather, who was a famous cantor in the Ukraine. Her father was a fine trumpet player and singer. Her mother played viola ... and the list goes on. The point is this classically trained coloratura soprano was born to sing. That natural ability has served Waller well. Critics often cite Waller’s ability to use her voice like an instrument. “Jazz was constantly in my ear,” says Waller. “My dad played lots of jazz around the house. ... Making up melodies and scatting just came naturally. I improvised long before I studied improvisation.” www.wendywaller.com A portion of the proceeds will go to the Arbor Bay School, a Redwood City nonprofit day school for students who benefit from a multisensory, experiential approach to learning. Elana James & Her Hot Hot Trio Thursday, March 2, 2006, 8 p.m. $12 adv./$14 door Elana James, formerly of Hot Club of Cowtown, in her own words: “Hot Club of Cowtown has gone on to release five CDs internationally plus two more exclusively available in Japan. I began 2005 by playing violin/fiddle with Bob Dylan on his spring tour (with Merle Haggard and Amos Lee), and most recently played on Bob Dylan’s new song “Tell Ol’ Bill,” which was written and recorded for the motion picture “North Country” (starring Charlize Theron and Frances McDormand). In the fall of 2005 I started a new trio, under my own name, with two of my wonderful and talented cousins: Luke Hill (on guitar) and Beau Sample (on upright bass), playing hot jazzy tunes, new original songs, western swing, hoedowns, and gypsy music. I hope you will come out and see us when we come to your neck of the woods!” www.elanamusic.com The Heartbeats plus The Houserockers A Night of Classic Rock & Soul Friday, March 3, 2006, 8 p.m. $12 adv./$14 door The Heartbeats have been entertaining discriminating audiences from coast to coast and abroad for over 20 years.

Fusing traditional material with high-energy rock intensity, the band is renowned for its dynamic and electrifying concerts. The group’s brand new studio CD, “The Double-Cross,” finds the band in peak form as it showcases inventive original and traditional material. Tempest’s members hail from five countries across three continents: lead vocalist, electric mandolinist and founder Lief Sorbye from Oslo, Norway; drummer Adolfo Lazo from Havana, Cuba; guitarist Ronan Carroll from Dublin, Ireland; bassist Ariane Cap from Innsbruck, Austria; and fiddler Michael Mullen from Fresno, California. www.tempestmusic.com Travelling musicians with a carload of instruments is nothing new in the world of folk music, but what if one of those instruments is a sitar from India or a Renaissance Crumhorn? Going out on a musical limb is common for the group Four Shillings Short. With an ever-increasing array of instruments (over 20 at last count), including hammered dulcimer, mandola & mandolin, tinwhistle & woodwinds, sitar, banjo, percussion and vocals, their music is always varied and captivating.
