Free Range Friday Concert: Belle Monroe & Maurice Tani | Richmond Dist.

Free Range Fridays: Honky Tonk Live Music Night | Richmond Dist.

Free Range Fridays features live, acoustic music by some of the Bay Area’s finest Americana performers. The series is hosted by Jeanie and Chuck Poling, longtime contributors to the local folk/country/bluegrass scene. Free Range Fridays attracts many great artists who play for the sheer joy of sharing their music with a crowd that really appreciates it. Plus, they’ve had some awesome special guests show up – no promises, but rumor has it that past cameos include Jimmie Dale Gilmore (true) and Robert Plant (false, but we love how rumors we started get back to us as fact).

It’s not just a show, it’s a pocket festival that will pull heartstrings, induce belly laughter, and get that brain thinkin’ mighty powerful thoughts. All FRF shows are free and are part of their continuing effort to keep alive San Francisco’s tradition of coffeehouse entertainment. Shows are presented roughly every three months.

Belle Monroe & Maurice Tani | Free Range Fridays: Honky Tonk Live Music Night | Richmond Dist.

On August 16, 2013, Jeanie and Chuck welcome Pam Brandon and Maurice Tani, plus the Terry Brothers to the Velo Rouge stage.

Pam is well-known to local bluegrass fans as Belle Monroe, and Maurice is the frontman for the acclaimed alt-country band 77 El Deora. They’ve done, and continue to do, so much more, but their country duets range from the mawkish to the malevolent, and the hysterical to the heart-wrenching.

Joining them for a tweener set is a new find: the Terry Brothers, playing guitar and fiddle and singing like, well, brothers.
