LOCATION:The Back Room
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 30% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nTo celebrate her latest Grammy-nominated album\, ONE HOUR
  MAMA: The Blues of Victoria Spivey\, Maria Muldaur will appear with strid
 e piano master Neil Fontano in an acoustic performance of bawdy blues and 
 swinging jazz from the '20s & '30s. The album is a tribute to pioneering b
 lues artist and record label owner Victoria Spivey\, who was one of Maria'
 s mentors when she was young. I'm posting this concert earlier than usual 
 because this duo's performance at another Bay Area venue last year sold ou
 t.\n\n“Maria Muldaur channels blues legend Victoria Spivey with sass\, sou
 l & no apologies. One Hour Mama is a bold\, bawdy tribute full of trad-jaz
 z swagger\, gritty truth\, and timeless storytelling.” –Blues Matters Maga
