Cozy’s Saturday July 5th
“Happy 4th of July” from the Samurai Homeboys. Come on down to COZY’S Bar and Grill - 14058 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, 91423. Saturday July 5th the Samurai Homeboys All Star Soul Music Express is pullin’ in at 9:30 p.m. Great food, drinks and classic R & B music. It’s a one stop party! We’ll see ya there . . .
Norm Cowan, Trumpet
The inimitable Norm Cowan on lead trumpet sounds killer on the Homeboys arrangement of “Get It On” by Chase.
Jon Nichols, Guitar
When Jon Nichols is not out on the road with Beth Hart, we are blessed with his guitar playing.
Alan Hirano, Bass
He’s the samurai bass player from Billy Preston’s band and many others. Rumoured to be the inspiration for John Belushi’s samurai character on SNL!
Nels Dielman, Drums
Nels works hard on a computer by day, and harder on drums by night. Here’s some solo drums…
Matt Lilley, Sax
Come on down, girls. America’s most eligable saxophone playing bachelor. And he even has a great job!
Walt Thompson, Keyboards
Walt hauls around his own Hammond B3 for the authentic soul sound. Now that is a true sacrifice for the arts.
