Mr. Hat Presents...
the Sugartown Shakedown!
• Craig Macarthur's Casual Coalition [facebook.com/casualcoalition]
• The Alex Jordan Band
Each band is performing a set and then coming together as one to perform a set of electric Bob Dylan (JUDAS!) & The Band tunes together!
This edition of Casual Coalition will feature ringleader Craig MacArthur in his second appearance at Toot's, with David Simon-Baker, Alex Jordan, Ari Gorman & Sean Nelson. Expect high-level improvisational explorations of old favorites and some originals.
Alex Jordan is riding a wave of popularity, performing with Stu Allen, Cubensis, and organizing a weekly Dead night in Redwood City. Alex Jordan Band aims to bring a delightful set of covers and originals to the stage. Released during the pandemic, Alex’s debut album, The Subtle Exhibitionist, has yet to be performed regularly around the bay. Look for harmony singing, solid songwriting, and eclectic jamming. Lineup TBA
Sugartown Shakedowns at Toot's Tavern in charming Crockett on the Carquinez feature a great dance floor, laid-back atmosphere, kind peeps & great drinks at reasonable prices.
Very limited reserved seating available, seats not guaranteed without reserved seating.
