San Francisco’s Maurice Tani has been a fixture on the local alt-country scene for more than a decade with his band 77 El Deora, and previously sang and played guitar for the seminal Motown-style party bands Zasu Pitts Memorial Orchestra and Big Bang Beat. The San Francisco Chronicle has praised his “twangy modern country sound” and called his songs “wry yet romantic, tender but aggressive.”

Known for his agile guitar style and expressive singing, Maurice Tani’s particular flavor of Americana is a broad-spectrum tincture of influences to cure the wide range of ills his fertile imagination conjures. While rooted (at times distantly) in country music, his writing is centered on an urban-western perspective. Short musical narratives of life on the left coast. A sort of cinema for the blind. No one blends Americana, Blues and Country quite like Tani.

“I was blown away! Maurice Tani writes songs that sound at once familiar, ethereal and beautiful. A songwriter’s songwriter with recurring themes of his own life experiences.” – Robert Sproul, No Depression Magazine

Thursday Live! is sponsored by the Davis Odd Fellows Music Committee with support from KDRT radio. It’s a continuous music series that happens the first Thursday of most months.
