Adrian West Band in Davis

Adrian West Band returns to Davis with a new sound in a new place! They'll perform as a SIX-PIECE band at The Melon Ball, a listening room in West Davis that features a Steinway Grand Piano and a top notch sound system.
The Melon Ball is part of Watermelon Music
1970 Lake Blvd, Suite 1 in West Davis.
Doors open at 7:30, show from 8 - 10pm.

and tickets can also be purchased at the door. $20 for adults, $15 for students with ID, $8 for children under 12. BYOB is allowed and light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be available.
Adrian West Band is a rising force in the Bay Area music scene. Based in Oakland, the six-piece band plays original acoustic rock which they dub "Paul Simon meets Talking Heads". A classically trained violinist who later turned to drums, guitar and singing, Adrian is a gifted composer and arranger. His lyrics, which range from whimsical to philosophical, ride atop a steady wave of catchy music. He always writes the music first and lyrics second, only adding lyrics if he feels the music stands tall on its own. Fun fact: Paul Simon and David Byrne (of Talking Heads) work pretty much the same way.
Adrian figured out a while ago that he likes having trained jazz musicians in his band. Jazz musicians bring technical chops and versatilty. They know how to listen to each other and make a song flourish. And so to keep things interesting (for bandmembers and audience alike), the band also plays riveting renditions of cool Jazz standards -- not the esoteric stuff, but rather tunes with approachable melodies that even non-experienced Jazz listeners can enjoy.
To top it off, the band throws in a rock cover or two ... anything from Supertramp to Dolly Parton.
This concert will feature a six-piece ensemble, bringing together some top Bay Area talent (musicians listed below). The rip-roaring solos of pianist Michael Echaniz are worth the price of admission alone. Their performance will take you to new heights fueled by vocal harmonies, acoustic guitar, electric violin, piano, alto sax, upright bass, drums and live looping. You will leave wanting more, but knowing you've witnessed something new and special.
