Eric Shifrin & The In Crowd at the Woodchopper’s Ball
May 2, 2023 @ 9:00 pm - 11:30 pm
Eric Shifrin & The In Crowd
Eric Shifrin has been performing and leading his band THE IN CROWD in the Bay Area since the early 1990’s. For this special appearance at the Woodchopper’s Ball, he has assembled a swinging all-star lineup featuring everybody’s favorite drummer Mark Lee, and Michael Leal Price on bass. On loan from the Cosmo Alley Cats will be the blistering front line of Peter Cornell on sax and Konstantins Jemeljanovs on trumpet. Eric will lead the proceedings from the piano chair and will also contribute the occasional vocal. Get hep and be there for their swingin’ debut at the Woodchopper’s Ball!
