It’s the first Thursday in November, which means Bee Wolf-Ray will be playing at the Zocalo from 6:30 to 8:30.

Bee will be accompanied by Peter Cloud Panjoyah (late of the Jilli Martini Band) on harmony vocals and percussion and Jack Sigurdson on lead guitar.

These players underscore and enhance the music nicely. Peter’s rich voice, creative and precise percussion and Jack’s tasty and supportive lead lines weave an enjoyable sonic web.

For more than a year, every month at the Zocalo Bee has shared an evolving repertoire of eclectic original and cover songs, by such diverse artists as Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Johnny Horton, Steve Earle, 4 Non Blondes, the Boomtown Rats and The Smiths.

Bee’s songwriting style comes from a folk storytelling tradition; it is worth listening closely to the lyrics, for every song is written or chosen for a purpose and has a point to make about life, spirituality, love, the state of the world, political and personal freedom, and more. Her guitar style is creatively intuitive and unusual, with chord progressions that flesh out the story of the song.

Every first Thursday of the month, enjoy an evening of intimate singer-songwriter music with the delicious food and drink at the Zocalo Café. These shows are by donation.
