Our December show:
The Lee Vilensky Trio
Guitarist Lee Vilensky, Bill MacBeath (bass) and Jamie Lease (drums) have been laying down an exquisite and rocking instrumental sound for years with this trio, rising from the ashes of The Swingin’ Johnsons. Â Lee hails from Long Island & New Jersey, and has put in serious time with Pearl Harbour and the Explosions, Thee Hellhounds and other favorites. Â Jamie has played with the likes of The Dils, Queen Ida and Her Bon Temps Zydeco Band, the PBR Street Gang, Norton Buffalo, while Bill’s affiliations have included Alvin Youngblood Hart’s band as well as Carlos Guitarlos…
Their new album is Destination: Love — a fabulous follow up to the 2011 release Dirty Dealings in a Latin Moon.
You can hear them regularly around the Bay Area at venues including The Rite Spot, Pier 23, the Make-Out Room, Speissekamer… but don’t miss them here at Bird & Beckett!
