Thursday January 30, 2025 7:30pm - 9:00pm PST
In 1994 the world lost one of its most beloved musicians, grunge icon, Kurt Cobain.

Bill Murray and His Blood Brothers featuring Mike Zito & Albert Castiglia
Thursday January 30, 2025 8:00pm - 9:30pm PST
Bill Murray is an award-winning American actor, comedian, and writer. Murray is known for his deadpan delivery in roles ranging from studio comedies to independent dramas. He has appeared in movies such as Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters, Stripes, Lost in Translation just to name a few. Murray is also famous for his work on Saturday Night Live.
Murray has been part of the music scene on numerous occasions over the years performing at events including Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival and John Prine & The Steeldrivers at the Grand Ole Opry. During his years on “Saturday Night Live,” Murray portrayed Nick the Lounge Singer and entertained guests with songs like “Brandy” and most famously “Star Wars.”

Murray recently made an appearance at the Big Blues Bender at Westgate’s International Theater in September. He joined his Blood Brothers featuring Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia, along with The Bender Brass horn section for a memorable set. Bill Murray & his Blood Brothers tore through The Beatles (and before that, Larry Williams’) “Slow Down,” and Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone.” The crowd joined in for the Dylan classic, shouting back, “Like a rolling stone!” as Murray delivered good ole’ rock n roll music in an energetic and inspired that was true-form Murray.

In 2017, Murray recorded a studio album featuring singing and literary recitations titled New Worlds with classical musicians’ cellist Jan Vogler, violist Mira Wang, and pianist Vanessa Perez. Bill and the three band members then joined for a world-wide tour in 2018 combining music and poetry. New Worlds: The Cradle of Civilization rolled out also in theaters in cities across the U.S. including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Las Vegas and more.
