The music plays on and the wine flows at the North City Bistro and Wine Shop

Monday, June 27, 2022

North City Bistro is for sale but they are still very much in business, selling bottles and cases of wine and providing a full program of live music. It's like the old days except they require proof of vaccination to enter the premises. They are a family-friendly business.

Here is their line- up for the next two weeks:


Thursday, June 30th
will be a Very Special Return of a group that has not played in the Seattle area for a few years. 

They will play from 7-9:30 for $15. This show is nearly sold out, so if you want to come, please buy your Tickets and make your reservations here: https://northcitybistro.com/event/maracuja/#tribe-tickets

Maracujá was formed in Seattle during the summer of 2013 as a collaborative project of Caitlin Belem (voice and instrumentalist), Terrence Rosnagle (guitar), and Sam Esecson(percussion) . 

Individually, each had extensive experience with and love for Brazilian and Latin music-- living, playing, and studying in countries including Brazil, Cuba, Argentina, and Spain. 

Maracujá grew to an established act that regularly played some of Seattle's top venues, regional festivals, tours the Pacific Northwest and Mountain West, and is sought after for corporate events, academic performances, and private events.

After a two year touring hiatus, Maracujá is more than excited to give their music to Seattle and the North City Bistro!!

Friday, July 1st
, get ready to Swing, when Birch Pereira and the Gin Joints take the "stage" for an evening of Wonderful Music. They will play from 8-10:30 for $20, and you can buy tickets and make reservations here: https://northcitybistro.com/event/birch-pereira-the-gin-joints-2/#tribe-tickets

To step into the soundscape of Birch Pereira and the Gin Joints is to have your fingers on a veritable radio dial. 

With deep sonic roots in virtually every style of mid-20th century American music – from americana to blues to jazz, soul and vintage rock ’n’ roll – the versatile Seattle-based band offers a rangy dial’s worth of songs for audiences who want to sock-hop in poodle skirts one minute, rock out to hot guitar licks the next and later hug their honeys under the stars as a car stereo plays into the night.

Birch Pereira and the Gin Joints are a popular Northwest band who perform extensively on the West Coasts of the US and Canada with recurring gigs in New York City, New Orleans and Los Angeles as well. In 2016 their first album, Dream Man, won Earshot Jazz Society’s “Northwest Jazz Recording of the Year” and in 2017 and 2018 Birch was nominated as “Vocalist of the Year”. 

Their second album “Western Soul,” which features western-tinged jazz and soul originals, was released in March 2018 and received enthusiastic reviews from No Depression, PopMatters, JazzIs and steady airplay on a diverse array of stations in the Northwest and beyond, including KEXP, KNKX KBCS, WVPR, KBOO and many others.

Featuring front man Birch Pereira’s “old soul” tenor voice and his skilled bass playing, the Gin Joints offer captivating arrangements of well-crafted originals and well-chosen covers. The band features skilled and versatile musicians who share the same love of the American song traditions and the desire to offer fresh interpretations. Whether as a trio or with the addition of a pulsating horn section, the band will take you on a sonic tour of great music. Tune in, fasten your seatbelts and prepare to be transported.

And to finish off the week on July 2nd, and for our last music until the 2nd week of July, we will celebrate Summer with some Awesome Brazilian Jazz, when Jovino Santos Neto Quinteto plays from 8-10:30 for $20 Cover, and you can buy tickets and make reservations here: https://northcitybistro.com/event/jovino-santos-neto-quinteto-4/#tribe-tickets
