Dernière Minute Band
The band Dernière Minute came together at the last minute in 2020 when Virginie Marine (singer), Sergio Ramirez (drums), Charles Holive (keyboard) and Stéphane Blanchard (singer, guitar) decided to answer a call to perform a one-off concert in South San Francisco. Since then Christian Iribarren
joined the team and replaced Charles at the keyboard,
and James Ayres joined with his bass guitar…
for an everlasting “last minute”!
Virginie Marine has been a professional singer with a remarkable career and now performs around the world, and mostly in New York where she moved a few years ago. Dernière Minute’s repertoire includes many well known classics from the Pop/Rock culture from France, the UK and America.

BISTRO MOUSTACHE

Bistro Moustache brings Musique française, from Paris to the San Francisco bay area. You'll be transported to an evening of French Café music straight from the terrace of a  Paris Bistro, a Guinguette on the Marne river or a Bal Musette on the banks of the Seine. Just as if Charles Trenet, Jacques Brel, Yves Montant, Georges Brassens, Serge Gainsbourg, Tino Rossi, Edith Piaf, Boris Vian, Django Reinhardt, Gus Viseur and Jo Privat were (re) united together for a magic evening.
The repertoire goes from the classics (Les Feuilles Mortes, C'est Si Bon, Ménilmontant, J'Attendrai, La Foule, Sous Le Ciel De Paris) to more modern (Il Est Cinq Heures Paris S'Éveille, Le Poinçonneur Des Lilas, Vesoul), and even Polkas, Tangos, Auvergne Bourrées and Celtic folk.

Jerry Draper - guitar and vocals; Jerry started playing music in the '60s and plays acoustic folk guitar; he knows and sings many tunes from different genres of the music spectrum; Jerry has played informally with several with Celtic and folk music bands over the years and formed & Friends Band to continue the music.
