Details
On Saturday, April 20, 2024, Comedian Jack Gallagher, backed by the Dick Bright Band, brings back his popular music and comedy show to The Sofia (2700 Capitol Avenue) for 2 performances slated for 5:30pm and 8pm. This is Magic Milestone #10 show with Jack and the band, and this time, to mark the occasion, they’ve added (Da-da-da-da) a 3-piece horn section.
For those who haven’t had the pleasure of seeing one of Jack’s music shows, it’s a mix of some of Jack’s favorite tunes previously recorded by famous recording artists which the audiences will be familiar with and in fact, in past shows they’ve been invited to sing along. And they, by gosh, they’ve accepted the invitation.And here’s the frosting on the cake. Throughout the show Jack will be threading musical “tidbits” and trivia to tantalize and “nostalgia-tize” lovers of music from various eras and genres…mostly popular and familiar.And, the frosting on the frosting is the humorous interplay between the band and Jack, who have enjoyed a long history together. It’s a full service show!Said another way, it’s a lot of fun. A good time will be had by all.An example of musical “inside baseball” Jack has shared in previous shows: Gerry Rafferty, who wrote and recorded the song “Baker Street”, also had a hit entitled “Stuck in the Middle with You.” One line in the song which goes, “Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right” was a sharp elbow to the record executives present at the meeting.Another example tells the story of how the Turtles recorded a song out of frustration with the record company that surprisingly became a hit and Jack tells that tale onstage.It’s worth mentioning that this group of musicians, separately and together, have played with everyone from Carlos Santana to Huey Lewis to Tony Bennett and James Brown and have performed around the world as pop sensations, The Rubinoos. They are considered by many in the biz to be the cream of the crop of Bay Area musicians.Tickets for the shows are $38.50 and there’s an added $8.50 service charge.
