He comes highly recommended by roots music curator John Antich, who recently hosted Dan at the Jacaranda Veranda.

Victoria Jacobs is a drummer, singer, and songwriter originally from Chicago. She is one of the few female drummers in the country rock/folk world. She began her drumming career at the Art Institute in Chicago with an art project turned band, American Zone. Victoria co-founded Ms. 45, a groundbreaking female rock trio that dominated the Silverlake scene in the mid-90s. You may have seen her with I See Hawks in L.A., the band she joined in 2013. Currently working on a solo album, she will be joined for this performance by Paul Marshall, Joe Berardi, and Aaron Bakker.

Bob Hillman is a San Francisco-based quirky folk-rocker with a dry sense of humor. In the 90s he was in New York making a living by helping prepare high school students for the SAT. At night, he performed in the clubs of Manhattan. He attended business school and spent a decade in the “real world” as a marketing exec. In 2014, he reconnected with old friend and fellow tunesmith Peter Case, which served as the impetus to get back in the studio. Produced by Case, the crowd-funded Lost Soul was released in 2015. His latest project, King of the Bees, is a six-song EP of melodic and slightly messy rock/power pop.
