Aki Kumar
and
The SBGs
Harmonica, grit and a whole lot of swing. Aki Kumar brings The SBGs to the Empress Marquee Club for a night built on the raw energy of 1950s blues and early rock ’n’ roll.
A fixture of the Bay Area blues scene, Aki is known for a harp tone that can go from a whisper to a howl in a single bar — and for a stage presence that makes a small room feel like the best seat in town. With The SBGs behind him, the set leans hard into the pioneers who defined the sound: the shuffles, the stomps, and the songs that still fill a floor seventy years on.
Come early, get a table, order dinner and a drink, and settle in. The Marquee Club is intimate by design — every seat is close to the band.
Dinner and the music are in the same room. Reserve a table, order at your seat, and stay put — the Marquee Club is small enough that every seat is close to the band. Reserve a table
