Brogen Bay
Gypsy, Swing, Tango, Folk, and Wild Classic: CAFÉ MUSIQUE!
THOUSAND OAKS, CA – BrogdenBay Presents and Larry Janss’ Four Friends Gallery presents Café Musique, a live music concert in Thousand Oaks. The concert is held Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 8:00 pm at the Four Friends Gallery, located at 1414 East Thousand Oaks Blvd. in Thousand Oaks.
Café Musique lives up to its name with a musical pallet that includes gypsy, swing, tango, folk and their self-defined genre, “wild classical”. The five members seem to eat, sleep and breathe music. They’re from the central coast of California and all five come from wildly different backgrounds, but together they’ve found kindred musical spirits in one another. Having performed around the world and been on the stages of several world-class music festivals, Café Musique has made thousands of fans of their powerful, emotive and beautiful sound. They have shared the stage with Doc Severinsen, David Grisman Quintet and Los Lobos and performed and recorded with Grammy award winner Louis Ortega, musical madman Joe Craven, songwriter Jill Knight and Broadway vocalist Sarah Kleeman.

Craig Nuttycombe (guitar and vocals) is a songwriter and wordsmith who graduated from Hollywood High School, and has toured with Jimi Hendrix and Canned Heat.
