Jackie Green Returns To Marilyns

Friday December 10th – An evening with Jackie Greene – Doors open at 8:00 – This event is SOLD OUT, but you can get in (until occupancy is maxed out) at the door, (standing room only). National recording star Jackie Greene returns to Marilyn’s on K. Jackie Greene has a commanding stage presence, and he plays every instrument he lays hands on (at one Marilyn’s performance he played several guitars, a pocketful of harmonicas, drums, keyboards …even a plywood box). He is one of those rare talents that embraces all aspects of a performance. He is both a poet and a songwriter (one person said to think Bob Dylan with a better voice). “Greene can write any damned thing he wants to and has the heart to pull it off,” wrote Thom Jurek of All Music Guide.

This show gives local fans a rare opportunity to enjoy the national star in an intimate setting. Marilyn’s is located on the K Street Mall between 9th and 10th (but closer to 9th).

Izabella At The Park And At Marilyn’s

Izabella is fresh from a fierce performance at Bobolink Music Festival and heading back to Sacramento. They will perform for a full day of soul infused dance tunes on July 9th, beginning at the Concert in the Park and continuing the party at Marilyn’s on K.  The Marilyn’s show begins at 9PM and tickets are available for $8 or $5 with a Park bracelet.

“Izabella, a continually evolving Northern California unit that oozes positivity anchored to serious chops and strong songwriting. Archetypically ‘jam band’ in nature, they encompass soul, rock, pop, and jazz as if all lived happily in one big bed.” –Jambase

About Izabella, from the press release:

Since its inception in Fall 2006, and after hitting the road full-time in 2008, Izabella has performed well over 250 gigs, including some key performances at summer festivals: High Sierra, 4 Peaks, Las Tortugas, Summer Meltdown, Oregon County Fair, and Bobolink. This solid tour schedule combined with an elevated level of stage and light production has helped Izabella garner various accolades, including the Jambands.com title, “New Groove of the Month” back in August 2008. In 2009, Izabella was nominated for the SAMMIEs (Sacramento Area Music Awards) and won Best of Sacramento, Editors’ Pick for Sacramento magazine.
