Keiko Matsui
Music kicks off August with acclaimed pianist, composer, and humanitarian
Keiko Matsui's transcendent and haunting melodies, which have made her a
worldwide icon in contemporary smooth jazz. Known for her original
compositions, Matsui’s music transcends boundaries, creating a unique
melting pot of musical influences that have earned her a devout and
enthusiastic international audience. A consummate artist at home in any
musical context, she borrows from diverse idioms such as jazz, classical,
rock, blues, and traditional world music to create timeless, passionate, and
emotional melodies that speak a universally appealing language.
Matsui made her US recording debut with “Drop of Water” in 1987 and was
named Best Female Smooth Jazz Artist of the Year twice. Of the 20 albums she
has released, seven have appeared in the contemporary jazz Top 10, including
“Deep Blue,” which reached number one in 2001 and topped Billboard’s
Contemporary Jazz charts for three consecutive weeks, making her the first
Japanese artist to achieve this honor. Additionally, “Dream Walk” (1996)
remained on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart for over 15 months and
further cemented her reputation as a force to
be reckoned with. Her release “Soul Quest” celebrated her 25th
anniversary in the music business and
was acclaimed by The
Washington Post as “one of her
most accomplished and appealing.” Over the years, Matsui has collaborated
and shared the stage with numerous musical luminaries, including Stevie
Wonder, Miles Davis, and Bob James. This dynamic, creative icon of music is
coming back to delight audiences in Livermore on August 2.

Piano Men Generations
Before the Labor Day holiday, families are invited to spend some time at The
Bankhead with Mike Super, who is back with his Magic and Illusion 2.OH!
show. The only magician in history to win a live magic competition on
primetime U.S. network television, Mike Super is the winner of NBC’s hit TV
show PHENOMENON and a top finalist from America's Got Talent. He's also
appeared on numerous TV shows in the U.S. and abroad, and he has amazed
Howie Mandel, Louie Anderson, Howard Stern, Jeffery Katzenberg, Ariana
Grande, Tina Fey, Heidi Klum, Nick Cannon, Penn & Teller, Lynyrd Skynyrd,
Raven-Symone, Train, Kenny Chesney,
and Criss Angel to name but a few! Mike’s ever-growing popularity has
garnered him many prestigious awards and honors, and his other
accomplishments include being named Entertainer of the Year, Best Performing
Artist of the Year, Best Novelty Performer of the Year, and he was voted
America’s Favorite Mystifier on PHENOMENON. Despite all of this success,
Mike humbly insists it is the loyalty of his fan base that has been most
rewarding. His legions of fans call themselves “The Superfreaks,” and they
number in the millions, with the secret to his success being his natural
ability to entertain and fascinate people. He has pioneered a new form of
magic with his own inimitable, down-to-earth style and personality, bringing
the art of magic back to the people; he transcends the “trick” and connects
personally with his audience on a level they can relate to. Whether it’s
through television, stage, or simply one-on-one, Mike Super’s personality
and humor reach out and enchant the public, both young and old, making him
one of the most sought-after mystifiers in the world. Mike has astonished
millions, including theatergoers, Disney audiences, military families, and
the Hollywood elite. The Bankhead is enthused to bring him to the Tri-Valley
to engage Bay Area audiences again on August 23.
