Flying Salvias Livestream from Bird & Beckett

Bird & Beckett You Tube Channel

We are finally acknowledging that what was previously described as a “lack of focus” is actually two separate identities masquerading as The Flying Salvias. So, along those lines, The Flying Salvias will be presenting “The Return of K. N. Right” (Country) and “Pop Goes the Jazzle” (Not Country). What you will hear: A set focusing on K. N. Right material. We’ll revisit a couple tunes from our original Kathy N. Right country CD from years ago, add in several new tunes, and remember our dear friend Kathi Kamen Goldmark by doing the song Kathleen wrote with her, “Older Than Him” aka “The Slut Song.” Pop Goes the Jazzle starts off with “Henry’s Hideaway” which will set the tone and mood for the rest of the set; we've always thought of it as the introduction to a musical. We can't recall ever performing it, so we will be debuting “Henry’s Hideaway” along with a couple other new tunes. This will be the rhythmically and harmonically diverse set!

Flying Salvias Sheltering in Place

 —  —

Our house, Brisbane, CA

We would have had some nice times together, at The Lost Church, The Ocean Ale House, San Gregorio Store, and the Chit Chat Cafe, had not the pandemic happened. We will still have some nice times together as soon as we are allowed to gather. Stay healthy everyone. It's cool to wear a mask!

Be Our Valentine!

 —  —

Chit-Chat Cafe, 5 West Manor Drive, Pacifica, CA

Full band, including special guests, making it possibly the biggest band we've brought to the Chit Chat. Love will be in the air for sure! Henry and Kathleen will be joined by Jerry Kuhel on guitar and electric cello, Diana Greenberg on fiddle, Big Lou on accordion, and our rhythm aces - Dave Golia on bass and John Pearson on percussion. No cover, beer, wine, coffees, sweets and savories.

Nasty Women & Bad Hombres Do It Again

 —  —

Tiburon Wine, 84 Main Street, Tiburon

Three woman singer/player/songwriters - Lauren Murphy, Kathleen Salvia and Deborah Grabien - will trade off for two sets of three original tunes each (okay, each woman gets a crack at one cover, too). They're joined by Bad Hombres rhythm section (Nic Grabien on bass, Larry Luthi on drums), with fabuloso guest hombres Mark Karan on guitar and Henry Salvia on keyboards.

Doors open at 5, so get there early if you want a choice of seating. Be prepared to drink some of the best wine and bubbly around, because proprietor Jerry Horn knows more about champagne and wine than most people combined. Music begins at 5:30 and ends shortly before 8. Admission is $20 per person and it all goes to the band, so come on out! It's a small, intimate seating capacity (25-30 maximum), so bear that in mind.

Reservations/Tix: This is practically a private event, but we can probably get you in! Email flyingsalvias@gmail.com
