In getting ready for the the Bay Area Steel Jam 7/26, I discovered that "In the Steel of the Night" is happening again! An embarrassment of riches!
In the Steel of the Night featuring Bobby Black, David Phillips & Joe Goldmark

Pedal steel guitar extravaganza
Door 7:30 P.M., Music 8:00 P.M.
A steel guitar extravaganza like no other, In the Steel of the Night brings together three of the area's finest steel guitar players with red-hot bands—the Bobby Black Quartet, Big Lou's Polka Casserole with David Phillips, and Joe Goldmark & the Seducers.
Legendary steel player Bobby Black takes songs from the golden era of Western swing and brings them into the new century with finesse, abandon, and exuberant spirits. A recent inductee in the Steel Guitar Hall-of-Fame, Bobby's talent for successfully blending country, pop, and rock has led him to a long career that included gigs with Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, Asleep at the Wheel, and the New Riders Of the Purple Sage.
Big Lou the Accordion Princess, known for stints with Polkacide and Those Darn Accordions, continues to shake up the polka world with Polka Casserole's unique blend of accordion, horns, and steel guitar. Steel player David Phillips aka "the reigning king of pedal steel in the Bay Area," is equally at home playing polkas or country western tunes, not to mention bringing his unique sound to back artists such as Tom Waits, Nora Jones, and John Wesley Harding.
After stints with Dallas Wayne, Jim Lauderdale, David Byrne, Peter Rowan, and many others, Joe Goldmark continues his tradition of bringing the pedal steel guitar into high-energy reinterpretations of rock and soul music with his hot band, the Seducers, spotlighting numbers from his 10th CD, Seducing the 60s.

I enjoyed this so much last year, I'm really going to try to make this one again! My discovery last year, for other out-of-towners like myself was the great New York style pizza/beer pub around the corner, I think it was called Lane Splitters, or something like that. Great food and drink (ahhh, great beer and great polka music, now I know it's summer in Berkely. I also remember tickets sold like hot cakes for this event... so if you're thinking of going (and you should) get your tickets early, and get in line early for a good seat!
There, that's it for my weekly travel collumn.

I am bumping this.
Eric, thanks for the post and clipping the info to post here.
I just read the bio for me...
"the reigning king of pedal steel in the Bay Area"(' ')
Who writes this stuff?
Joe Goldmark says everyone understands about bios, I sure hope so.
Bobby Black IS the reigning king of pedal steel in the Bay Area (if there is such a thing)!!!
I might be up for Court Jester.
It will be a fun show so I hope some of you folks can make it.
