Kimrea’s Pro Showcase on June 25th features The Doorslammers, the late great Johnny Nitro’s famous Blues Band. This blues-based quartet is comprised of keytarist/vocalist Shad Harris, bassist/vocalist Burton Winn, guitarist Joe Lococo, and powerhouse drummer Robin Roth. The Doorslammers has evolved to include soul, rock, and country music and continues to bring audiences to their feet at San Francisco’s world famous Saloon.
Join us for a fun and musically satisfying evening in the wonderfully acoustic Tivoli room at the Throckmorton. No cover – all ages welcome – a one beverage purchase requested. Come listen and discover the beauty of music in an intimate accessible setting!

ABOUT KIMREA’S PRO SHOWCASE

Kimrea, a prolifically active songwriter and performing musician, taps the talent for these Sunday Sessions, as well as the supporting musicians. She and her band continue to play regularly in the Bay Area and can be found every Monday Night (For the Last 14 years and counting) performing at the Historic No Name Bar in Sausalito, California.
