30th Anniversary: Dukes of Juke w/ Late Night Brass – $7/10

Dukes of Juke (FINGER POPPIN’ R&B) Still smokin’ after 30 years, the Dukes of Juke. The Dukes of Juke with special guest Freight Train Annie and the Late Night Brass horn section will be serving it up and laying it down at Skippers on Friday, October 9th, 2015 to celebrate 30 years of years of juke-ing the bay area. The Dukes of Juke have been serving up blazing hot and icy cool jazz, blues, and funk, through an eclectic mix of music for 30 years, playing everywhere from major blues festivals and venues to the smokiest little jazz clubs in the bay area. The Dukes, like a fine wine or well-crafted guitar, prove that there are reasons quality endures.  The time-tested seasoned band features lead singer, saxophone and harmonica player, Bobby Rose, a tightly-wound ball of R and B.  Mr. Rose is surrounded by the simmering guitar licks of Roger Casey while Dan Hill’s keyboard work smolders underneath.  Thumping and rumbling behind them is Kyle Campana’s driving percussion and the heart pounding bass of Pat Peterson. Together, the Dukes give their audience a slice of coolness, so hot, you’ll want more.
