- **Event Name**: Adrian West Band at The Back Room in Berkeley
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Adrian West Band describes their sound as “Paul Simon meets Talking Heads." They play original acoustic rock songs and instrumentals, plus a few covers and a few jazz standards, with Adrian West going back and forth between vocals, acoustic guitar and electric violin. They normally play as a five-piece, but for this show they will team up with talented jazz pianist &amp; composer Michael Echaniz on the Back Room’s Steinway grand, adding a little jazz sizzle to everything.  

Adrian enjoys setting philosophical lyrics to joyful music. His lyrics may veer a tad dark at times but the underlying music is uplifting, giving the listener a richly layered experience. Whether he's telling a story about a skinny-dipping episode gone awry or grappling with some major challenge facing humanity, his lyrics are infused with equal parts hope, realism and whimsy.

The repertoire for this show will be half originals and half covers, including several jazz standards. This will include:

•	Armando's Rhumba by Chick Corea
•	Closer To Fine by Indigo Girls
•	Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock
•	Wicked Game by Chris Isaak
•	Strasbourg/St-Denis by Roy Hargrove
•	Take The Long Way Home by Supertramp
•	A song by Jesse Welles
•	Two brand new originals

With its pristine acoustics and its down-to-earth vibe, The Back Room is the perfect place for this exciting show. The band looks forward to taking you on a voyage while you relax on one of those cozy sofas.
