Joe Craven, Joe Kyle, Jr., and DG at the Monkey House 10/17

Sunday, October 15th, 2023

Joe Craven and I play a gig at the Monkey House once a month, with a different collaborator each time. Past shows have featured Bob Bralove, Jeff Hobbs, Lorna Kollmeyer, Paul Kotapish, Anela Lauren, Mookie Siegel, and Suzy Thompson.

On Tuesday, October 17, we’ll be joined by bassist Joe Kyle, Jr. (read about him on the Howell Devine web page). I’ve been a fan of Joe for 20 years, and we have played together onstage and in the studio many times. He played bass on our studio recording of “Attics of My Life”.

Tuesday, October 17. Doors at 7, show at 7:30. $10-40 sliding scale.
The Monkey House, 1638 University Avenue, Berkeley CA. More info: ira@themonkeyhouse.org
