Deep Thicket Dwellers at Bird & Beckett Books & Records

Deep Thicket Dwellers are a four piece ensemble originating from Alaska and Virginia, now based in Oakland. Their music weaves together bluegrass, old time, gypsy jazz, and the playful ingenuity of John Hartford into a distinctive style called Hillbilly Jazz. The band features Forrest Allen on vocals, fiddle, and mandolin; Iggy on vocals and guitar; Tarah Williams on vocals and percussion; and Scotty Brown on bass. With the fiddle at the heart of their sound, they deliver dynamic, high energy performances. $20 cover charge; $10 for students. BYOB. Call the bookshop at 415-586-3733 for a reservation.
