fin House, 4168 Westcliff

search for Julie Amici to lo-
cate the show.
Julie Amici has a strong
yet sweet voice reminiscent
of the ‘50s when female
singers ruled the jazz and
blues world of music. Her
repertoire combines the
jazz of Billie Holiday with
the soul of Nina Simone
and the sophisticated coun-
try of Pasty Cline.
Dean Mueller‘s bass play-
ing is rooted in the blues
chops he earned playing
with the finest blues leg-
ends in America and tour-
ing with the award winning
international act, The In-
somniacs.
For this show they will be
accompanied by Chris Carl-
son on guitar. Carlson and
Mueller have the intrinsic
on-stage chemistry that
comes from many years play-
ing together in the Duffy
Bishop Band. Carlson was
also the initial guitarist in
the Julie Amici Trio.
Griffin House provides
an intimate outdoor setting
for music. Local wine tast-
ing will be available, with a
portion of those proceeds
going to FISH food bank.
