4pm – 7pm: Crosstown Trio – Discover a refreshing take on the cover band concept that’s anything but predictable. This dynamic lineup features Marcus Salomon on vocals and guitar, James Reily on harmonica and backing vocals, and Kevin Clark on bass guitar. Together, they bring over 140 years of combined gigging experience to the stage, offering something totally unexpected: creatively reimagined renditions of lesser‑heard songs from legendary artists like Tom Waits, Van Morrison, Sting, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Etta James, and many more. With their drummer‑free setup, Crosstown Trio crafts rich, nuanced layers—where guitar and bass provide the rhythmic core and harmonica weaves melodic textures that echo keyboards, accordions, horns, and beyond—all delivered with the soulful clarity of Marcus Salomon’s vocals.
But the real magic happens live: whether they’re lighting up intimate venues like the Poor House Bistro or pairing with wine‑tasting nights at J. Lohr’s San Jose Wine Center, Crosstown Trio brings warmth, versatility, and musical surprises to every stage. Their focus on songs that “don’t get covered much—or even at all,” paired with a smooth acoustic vibe, makes each show a unique listening adventure. If you’re craving an evening filled with discovery, heartfelt performance, and impeccable musicianship, Crosstown Trio delivers all that—and then some.
This event includes a one hour break between 3pm and 4pm.
