See Ari Axelrod, The Music of GREASE & More at Feinstein's This Month

The month of April offers a variety of entertainment opportunities for fans from 1 to 100 and everywhere in between. Check out all the activities coming to Feinstein's at The Hotel Carmichael this month.

The month of April features two performances as part of the FREEFORM Concert Series. The first is April 10 with JD EICHER with special guests Mike Miz and Adrian and Meridith. Eicher, a songwriter, travels with the band making connections with ‘their people'. Eicher writes songs to make sense of a world that “at best, makes no sense, and at worst, hurts like hell.” 

The next is Wednesday, April 24, with MALINGO with special guests Ben Gage and Brandon Wilson. Malingo is a wild folk-rock band from Indianapolis that puts on a live show not to be missed. 

JOHNNY FOLSOM 4 - Tribute to Johnny Cash is on Thursday, April 11, at 7:30 pm. Lead singer David Burney brings a lilting southern baritone to Cash's classic songs which hits the mark well enough that you will wonder if Johnny himself is in the building. John Fussell more than meets the challenge of filling in for Luther and Carl Perkins on those classic guitar licks, and Steve Eisenstadt (bass) and Randy Benefield (drums) provide the hallmark, train-like driving rhythm the whole world loves. 

"For those of us unable to have seen Cash perform during his life, this is more than a treat. It's a time machine. When it comes to honoring Johnny Cash, JF4 walks the line." - No Depression Magazine.
