About Bobbe Shore and First Call:
Bobbe Shore has performed throughout the DC metro area, sharing her passion and love of Jazz, Standards, Swing, and Blues with those who are familiar with the genre, and winning over new audiences with every performance.
One quality which sets Bobbe apart vocally, is the honest and pure emotional
vulnerability she projects into her interpretation of the classic “torch song”.
Yet, in an instant, she can belt out the gutsiest of Blues, turning a phrase that will (for the moment) take you with her, as she disappears into a blues infused, smokey patch of night.
These days, she’ll dance you down the familiar streets of “America‘s Songbook”, while introducing you to a few new paths, on their way to being well-worn, with her original tunes, proving that America’s Songbook is a constantly evolving “work-in-progress”.
Her group, “First Call” features collaborations with the finest of DC’s jazz community including Wade Beach and Bob Boguslaw (piano), Steve Novosel and Victor Dvoskin (bass), Frank Russo and Tony Martucci (drums), and Bruce Swaim and Lyle Link (sax), among others. Together, they incorporate their individual strengths (quality solos, innovative voicings, and a mutual respect) to provide a unique and memorable musical experience which is enjoyed by the jazz initiated, as well as the novice…and one which passes way too quickly, leaving the audience to wonder, “Where did the time go”?!!! Because before the audience has even realized it, “Bobbe Shore and First Call” has taken them on a journey, and has entertained them…right through to “last call”!
Lion & Bull is proud to host Restless Street’s CD release party in recognition of their new album “The War.” The CD Release party will be held on Saturday November 28th, 2009 starting at 7:30pm and finishing at 12:30am
Restless Street is an exciting young group of musicians from Northern Virginia who originally came together to become the worship band for their teen youth group. If you have never heard of Restless Street you soon will. This band is passionate about their Music and their Worship and it shows. They realize that they are serving the Lord in this position as well as leading others into his presence and they don’t take this responsibility lightly.
Mission Statement:
Life on this Earth is summed up on our tombstone by one line separating our date of birth and our date of death. The guys in Restless Street believe that it is our job to “define that line” and, to the best of our ability, reach out to those who are searching in a world so full of sinful desires.
We plan to use the gifts that God has so joyfully blessed us with to literally sing out to anyone and everyone willing to listen. Our line will not go unwasted. We want to lead a lost generation to Christ by the example of who we are in our lives and through our music.

Richmonds Absurdist String Band
“The focus and polish is an interesting counterpoint to the band’s satiric approach to music-making, that absurd aesthetic that now includes short films and tune-filled plays. Anything but the normal stuff.” – Style Weekly, 2008
