TUMBLEDOWN HOUSE

POSTPONED

Food & drink at 6pm, concert at 7:30pm

San Francisco songwriting deviants, Tumbledown House, have never been easy to describe. Modern speakeasy, saloon jazz, parlor pop, and Tom Waits in a cocktail dress  are some of the terms used, but none of these successfully convey the  band’s incomparable ability to fuse vintage sounds and themes from  yesteryear with the modern instrumentation, refreshingly original  compositions, and raw energy that we expect from today’s performers.

Tumbledown House began in the rain-soaked streets of Portland, Oregon  back in 2009. Since then, the band has performed over 900 shows  throughout 35 states and has recently released their third full-length  studio album, “Sum and Substance”. In 2012, the band relocated to the  San Francisco Bay Area where they teamed up with clarinetist John  Thatcher Boomer trumpeter Arlo Perlstein, both proficient pianists, and  Tommy O’Mahony and Jimi Marks on bass and drums respectively, together  providing the perfect sonic landscapes for the intricately crafted songs  of sultry, velvet vocal powerhouse Gillian Wolfe and guitarist Tyler  Ryan Miller. The resulting group has become just as notorious for their  raucous speakeasy parties as they are adored for their intimate seated  events, which are oftentimes enriched by lush storytelling; their  ability to charm audiences of all walks of life is making Tumbledown  House a rising festival favorite throughout Northern California and  beyond.

Tumbledown House’s latest album, “Sum and Substance”, is a slight  departure from the vaudevillian carnival ride of their earlier work.  Accessing a certain vulnerability, the album showcases the growth and  maturity that the band has experienced as artists and songwriters, while  still holding on to a bit of the whimsical playfulness that sets them  apart from other acts (songs from the album include an ode to Josephine  Baker, a commentary on the modern dating game using animal safari  metaphors, and an account of a shamanic journey into the Peruvian  jungle).
