January 2 – 3 AMY & FREDDY Amy Armstrong is the sassy, brassy, saucy chanteuse and Freddy Allen is her ivory tickling sidekick. Together their signature renditions alternate between bluesy and bawdy, tasteless and tantalizing, and inspiring and insightful, with the powerhouse pipes of Ms. Armstrong in perfect synchronicity with Mr. Allen’s piano playing pastiche. January 9 - 10 KATHY NAJIMY Actress, feminist and activist Kathy Najimy is known for her memorable performances in over 25 films, including Sister Act and Hocus Pocus, and TV projects such as King of the Hill, Veronica’s Closet, Numb3rs, The Big C, and Veep.

In Lift Up Your Skirt, Najimy will share some true stories from her upside-down life, as well as perform a new monologue about marriage equality from Aunt Maddie, the beloved character made famous from The Kathy and Mo Show. It’s not a musical, but Kathy’s Musical Director Brian Nash (NYC’s finest and cutest) spices up the 80-minute show. ############################### The Addition 1330 Fillmore St. San Francisco, CA 94115 415-655-5600 The Addition, San Francisco’s newest nightclub announces their next round of shows on sale!

She brings with her an all-star band featuring Mike Wofford on piano, the incredible Anthony Wilson in guitar, and amazing duo of John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton on drums. Sun, Feb 22 7pm $32 MULATU ASTATKE Known as the father of Ethiopean Jazz, Mulatu Astatke was born in the western Ethiopian city of Jimma. He was musically trained in London, New York City, and Boston where he combined his jazz and Latin music interests with traditional Ethiopian music. Astatke led his band while playing vibraphone and conga drums—instruments that he introduced into Ethiopian popular music—as well as other percussion instruments, keyboards and organ. Sun, Mar 8 7pm $25 PILC, MOUTIN, HOENIG After 2 decades playing together, Jean-Michel Pilc, François Moutin and Ari Hoenig have developed a language entirely their own. What happens on the stage goes beyond innovation, originality, virtuosity and energy. There is a telepathic chemistry, magic, and an emotional connection between these 3 musicians which is very unique. It is a conversation, a trip, and a world in itself. Jazz has produced lots of great trios, but this one has a place all its own in the history of the piano-bass-drums idiom.
