# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Adrian West Band at The Back Room in Berkeley
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 pm (-07:00)
- **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 on vocals, acoustic guitar and electric violin, they normally play as a five-piece, but for their Back Room shows they like to team up with talented jazz pianist, composer and educator Michael Echaniz on the Steinway grand piano. When Michael isn’t blowing the roof off the joint with his incredible jazz solos, he adds sparkle and texture to the acoustic rock pieces.

Adrian's approach to songwriting is: music first, arrangement second, lyrics last. He likes his songs to stand on their own musically, so if you replaced all the singing with tubas and hand bells, the song would still sound great. (Fun fact: Paul Simon and David Byrne work pretty much the same way). When he finally gets down to writing lyrics, they are infused with equal parts hope, realism, and whimsy.

The repertoire for this show will be roughly 50% originals and 50% covers including several jazz standards. As we get closer to the show date, we’ll add more details here.

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.
