Rebel Tumbao Fundraiser and Gathering

Piedmont Piano Company
Oakland, CA

Matt Jenson, pianist and composer, and Jose Claussell inspired percussionist with Maestro Eddie Palmieri, are two visionary musical artists who are teaming up to bring forward Rebel Tumbao (Rebel "Groove"). This musical project soulfully merges Roots Reggae and Roots Afro-Latin vibrations with original compositions and wicked arrangements of Bob Marley's music, all with a critical social message for our times.

We are raising money to fund our full length recording which will help launch the band on an international level. For this event we are presenting an intimate 'unplugged' version of the group featuring Matt and Jose along with Toussaint Yeshua, our truly extraordinary soul singer and Geoff Brennan, one of the Bay Area's (if not the Nation's) best bass players. Please view our video: www.rebeltumbao.com.

We realize economic times are tough for everyone so we are offering two ticketing options:
1) $30 ticket
2) Two for the price of 1 ticket (intended to allow those who would otherwise not be able to come, to join us) NOTE: this option is for online ticket sales ONLY. All tickets bought in person at the door are $30/each.

This is a fundraiser, so if you can afford the $30, we GREATLY appreciate it. If you can't afford it, grab a friend and come for together!! (note: We will not have the capability to process credit cards at the door.)

Piedmont Piano Company is certainly the premier keyboard retailer for the entire northern California region and its enthusiastic owner, Jim Callahan, has created an amazing performance space as part of his showroom. Matt will be performing on a near $200,000 Fazioli grand piano and you will have full access to the amazing instruments on the showroom floor.

The Rebel Tumbao quartet will be performing a number of pieces that will be included on the upcoming recording and discussing the vision of the band with a Q & A session included. Options for further contributions to the project will be presented. Ticket price includes beverages and hor's d'oeuvres.

Note: All tickets are non-refundable. Any remaining tickets will be available at the door for $30, cash.
