Mike Krause & The Third Expression, featuring Dan Davis of the Dan Davis Group (INDY’s Best of the Triangle 2025) on drums and E. Scott Warren (Shirlette Ammons, Mike Babyak’s Triple Fret, Scott Sawyer, The Blusterfields) on bass, are looking forward to returning to Raleigh icon the Berkeley Cafe for a three week weekly residency starting on Sunday, September 6! The Berk's 'Psychedelic Sunday' series which we've been lucky to be a part of has been creating a buzz since it started with some killer area acts. We'll be incorporating the exploratory vibe from that into a more 'greased wheels' approach per the weekly angle. These are also early shows (6-8pm) and the perfect opportunity to sample the Berkeley's super fantabulous homemade fare. The Berk folks are just the best and we love playing here. We’ll be performing two sets featuring tracks from our record 'Instrumental Americana', more new original music and as always a well curated group of classic deep cuts. Hope to see you there! 💃🏽🔥🌵🌬🌊🏄🏽♀️🌈☀️🏝🎸🥁🎸Mike Krause & The Third Expression have been featured on North Carolina Public Radio’s “The State of Things” and perform original music ranging from classic Americana, Rock, Noir Jazz and Cinematic soundscapes to a diverse array of wider influences. ‘Instrumental Americana’, their album of Mike Krause penned and produced original compositions, features Dan Davis (drums), E.
