Diego’s Umbrella and Swamp Zen play Live at Lakeview. The weekly show is from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.
San Francisco’s ambassadors of gypsy rock, Diego’s Umbrella captures California’s cultural multiplicity with humor, enthusiasm and decadence, press reports say. These urban, gringo mariachis have performed more than 1,000 shows at clubs and festivals across the United States and Europe. The band’s lively, unforgettable, heavy-hitting stage show has visually and aurally captivated audiences from all walks of life. Hailing from Chico, Swamp Zen delivers “jam rock with words.” The band combines “the funk of James Brown, the songwriting of Van Morrison and the winding improvision of the Grateful Dead to create its own original dance music.”
