Curtis Bumpy, CODA, 1/16/2010

Curtis Bumpy starts off 2010 with some work at CODA on Saturday, Jan. 16. Hopefully, we’ll be joined for at least a song or two by the amazing Latrice Barnett, who is about to take a leave of absence for a bit. We hope she can make her way back to Bumpy sometime soon. Meanwhile, we are hoping to have a new face or two in the crowd… come on and see what we’ve got that night.

Also, just to archive the show for my own satisfaction: our previous show was also at CODA, a month ago on Dec. 19, 2009. Mr. Jackson had a previous engagement, so we once again had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Eric Garland on drums for the evening.

Curtis Bumpy, Boom Boom Room, 11/11/09

From 10/10 to 11/11. Curtis Bumpy has the pleasure of playing the after-party for the night’s screening of Still Bill, a new bio-doc about the amazing Bill Withers. We rehearsed a few of Bill’s tunes last week at the BBR show last week, and will give them a good workout for the movie crowd. Free with tickets to the movie, $7 without.

We’ll be at the Boom Boom Room this Wednesday night, serving up 3 courses of greasy grooves, beginning at 9:00.

We’ll keep it sizzlin’ into the night, so come early, come late. Come get your fill of beat sustenance. You know you need it.

Curtis Bumpy – Boom Boom Room, July 16

I’ll be chickin-pickin’ with Curtis Bumpy this Thursday night at the Boom Boom Room. We start the night roughly at 9:30 and play 3 sets. A great opportunity for us to cut loose and stretch out without the volume police on our backs for a change. Not that we’re super loud or anything… you get the point. Come early, we’ll be featuring Latrice Barnett in the first set; David James will be with us as well.

Curtis Bumpy @ Berkeley Music Fest, Sat 8/23/2008

Curtis Bumpy @ Jupiter, Friday 6/6/2008

Curtis Bumpy shakes up the Jupiter once more on Friday the 6th, the same night that Fishbone rocks the Shattuck Down Low (w/the Uptones and Sun House), making downtown Berkeley the place to be that night. This time we will be joined by Eric Garland on drums and Joshi Marshall on saxophone, along with Paige Weber and perhaps some more friends on vocals.

Show: Message of Love @ Kensington Circus, 5/3/08

The Bay Area’s Chrissiest Pretenders tribute band will be playing at Kensington Circus Pub this Saturday night, May 3. Family-friendly, in fact it’s practically family-required. I love the Circus. It’s the best place in the East Bay to bump into those friends of yours who just had kids in the last couple of years, who are desperate to get out of the house and have a beer in public but can’t get a babysitter. At least one of my kids will be there.

Message of Love will commence rocking at 9:00.
