Brazilian-inspired, original pop music
Saturday, May 3, 2025 - 7:30 PM

Classical. Brazilian. R&B. Jazz. Afro-Cuban. Popular Rock and Roll. Ed Johnson’s mastery of so many different styles, coupled with a passion for harmony vocal and horn arrangements, all factor into a magical blend of vibrant, original contemporary jazz that is winning fans and airplay worldwide.

As a vocalist, Ed Johnson is frequently compared to Ivan Lins, Milton Nascimento, Kenny Rankin, and Michael Franks. As a guitarist and bandleader, critics often cite the lushly exotic, accessible sounds of Airto and Flora Purim. Ed has seven recording projects to his credit, in addition to producer’s credits for other singer/songwriters.

Music from (almost) all James Bonds films … and other secret agents…

Put on your tux or evening gown. Mix up some vodka martinis, shaken, not stirred, of course. And drive your Aston Martin to The Hall this Saturday for The James Bond Experience featuring Ms Deborah Del Mastro. Other secret agents and spies will also be musically featured in this very fun show.

As April comes and goes, I am reminded that it's been one year since I've been here at The Hall. Having a great time with you all. Many of you have stopped and talked with me on Saturday nights. I appreciate it, even the complaints! April also means my birthday is coming up and I have a new grandson--whom I lovingly volunteered for!!!

—— Billy Philadelphia, Artistic Director

Did you miss The James Bond Experience earlier at Town Hall Theatre in Lafayette on Feb 15th? Well, never fear because we’re bringing this fun and entertaining show to The Hall in Pacifica on Saturday April 26th at 7:30!

The James Bond Experience is an evening celebrating over 60 years of James Bond: the theme songs, stories of the times, the making of the films and of the men who have portrayed the Coolest of the Cool, Secret Agent 007, James Bond. We’ll talk about iconic Bond Girls, Bond Villians, the Cold War and the birth of the “Secret Agent” in television and films – while hearing many of the 25 James Bond Theme songs!
Who is your favorite James Bond? Do you remember when you first heard the unmistakable sound of the James Bond theme? Join me with my 4 piece band, Shaken, Not Stirred, my Bond Girls and special guest Chris Vettel. It’ll be a night to remember!

We are still recovering from the Maria Muldaur show last week! Thanks to you all who came and enjoyed the music. And we have more joy coming this week!

Pacifica's own Orquesta La Moderna Tradición will be here this Saturday, March 29, at 7:30. This band is one of our best draws--they consistently bring in good crowds of dancers and salsa lovers! If you enjoy Cuban music, you MUST come hear this exciting band.

—— Billy Philadelphia, Artistic Director

Founded in 1996 as the West Coast’s first ensemble devoted to danzón, an insuperably elegant and foundational 19th century style of Afro-Cuban music and dance, Orquesta La Moderna Tradición is a charanga orchestra with strings, woodwinds and percussion.

Delivering driving and gracefully interlocking Afro-Cuban rhythms, the 12-piece group is led by veteran violinist Tregar Otton and legendary percussionist Michael Spiro, a 10-time Grammy nominee who’s also the first and only American ever nominated for a Cubadisco award (the Cuban “Grammys”) in the traditional Afro-Cuban category.
