It's A Beautiful Day is most famous for their song "White Bird", a melancholy ballad that
stood out not only for its memorable vocal melody and "seize the day" message, but also for
front man David Laflamme's slow-burning violin solo. Their albums were laced with classic
cuts such as "Hot Summer Day", "Bombay Calling," "Girl With No Eyes", "Wasted Union
Blues", "Time Is", "Dolphins", "Misery Loves Company", and many more you'll remember.
Today the band performs the music of It's A Beautiful Day along with newer material,
moving effortlessly from an almost folksy sound to ethereal jazz to psychedelic to straight
on rock & roll performing selections from three new CDs and over seven of their previous
albums. The show is enhanced with David Laflamme's delightful reminiscing of the San
Francisco Summer of Love Days and 40 plus years of performing.
The current band boasts the longest continuous lineup of 10 years with 4 of the 6 members
going back 30-40 years: David LaFlamme on violin and vocals, Linda LaFlamme vocals,
original drummer Val Fuentes, 30 year veteran Toby Gray on bass, 10 year veterans Rob
Espinosa on guitar and Gary Thomas on keyboards.

In the 1970's, Danny O'Keefe put out a string of albums that
cemented his reputation as being among the best songwriters of
his generation. These days, casual fans know him best for his Top
Ten hit "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues" or Jackson
Browne's version of "The Road" from the classic Running On
Empty album. But the story didn't end in the 70's. He continued
to release the occasional album and recently returned with "In
Time", his first solo release in nine years.
Danny's songs have been recorded by a Who's Who of artists over
the last thirty plus years: Elvis Presley, Cab Calloway, Charlie
Rich, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Earl Klugh, Chris Hillman,
Conway Twitty, Leon Russell, Dwight Yoakam, Jerry Lee Lewis
and Milt Hinton. But that's just who recorded "Good Time
Charlie." Other credits include Alison Krauss, Jimmy Buffett,
Nickel Creek, Judy Collins, Donny Hathaway, John Denver, Gary
Stewart, Sheena Easton, Jesse Colin Young, Chris Smither, Ute
Lemper and Alan Jackson. "Well, Well, Well," which Danny
wrote with Bob Dylan, has been recorded by Ben Harper, The
Blind Boys of Alabama, Bonnie Raitt and David Lindley.

- "As darkly seasoned with raw experience as it is brilliantly inlaid with
poetic insight, O'Keefe's work this past decade constitutes the most
moving musical meditations since Bob Dylan's Time Out Of Mind.
Unblinking, hammer-hard, love-wise and haunting, these songs stay alive
in the mind and the heart long after the laser has moved on." ~ Tom
Robbins - "Danny O'Keefe takes his rightful place in that ingenious and enigmatic
tradition of unfettered poetic American song writing. Often traditional
feeling music that is never completely identified with, or tied to, any one
genre. (He writes) the kind of songs that ring with that sense of being
classic and enduring, always having much to tell us lyrically. Working
with Danny for me is a source of great pride because I truly think of him
as one of the greats." ~ Michael McDonald - "Look in the dictionary under "singer songwriter" and you'll see a
picture of Danny O'Keefe. His is the complete package: a strong
performer with a batch of amazing songs. His guitar and voice lead you
beyond ditty world, deep into the land of poetry." ~ Tim O'Brien
Bob Lind is best known for his transatlantic chart hit single,
"Elusive Butterfly", which reached #5 on both the US and UK charts
in 1966.
Over 200 artists - including Sonny Bono, Cher, Glen Campbell,

Lind retired from the music industry in 1969 to pursue other
interests. He is the author of five novels, and has written for such
supermarket tabloids as the Weekly World News and the Sun.

such as:
- "As powerful an experience as I’ve ever seen a man alone with a guitar
deliver in all my years owning the Luminaire! He got three encores and no
one’s ever had more than one – and we have three bands a night, seven
nights a week.…I adored the show and am in total amazement of Bob's voice.
I think he has the best voice of anyone to ever play at the club....I could listen
to it all night." - "Accompanied by nothing but his acoustic guitar, his voice seems to have
gained maturity since the 60s. . . Before he was done, several members of the
audience were choked up, myself included. If necessary, you should travel far
and wide to see this man sing!” - “His concert here was magnificent. He seems to put our hopes and dreams
into his music. His melodies are beautiful and his lyrics touch us deeply. We
want him back again and again.” - “Bob Lind is the real thing -- a legend who can do legendary things on stage.
. . . He cuts a commanding figure on stage and his wry wit and stories amuse
the audiences. The list of his songs that have been recorded by other “greats”
in the business is phenomenal. Other artists would be satisfied with only one
or two remarkable tunes. Bob Lind has written dozens and he can sell every
one of them.”
