Concerts & Gigs Howard Wiley at Keys Jazz Bistro
Howard Wiley returns to Keys Jazz Bistro for a live set steeped in soul-jazz, funk, gospel, and R&B with a distinctly West Coast sensibility. Expect a program that blends his own hard-driving originals with a funkified take on classics. A standout on the Bay Area music scene since the mid-1990s, Wiley has built a reputation as both a formidable performer and a respected mentor. An intimate bistro setting makes this the kind of show where you feel every note up close.
