The LIVING RECORD COLLECTION Where Taste, fun And Atmosphere Matter.
Musical FARM-TO-FORK.
There is a distinct magic that happens when live music genuinely connects with a room.
A town-to-town globetrotter who has spent nearly forty years collecting miles, falling on his ass, and dusting himself off, Juke Tannins has finally settled in the North Bay. Cutting his teeth as a teenager in the Delaware Valley, playing everything from gritty dives and rowdy rock clubs to high-end conventions and quiet restaurants, Juke developed the skin of a survivor early. Like a bull shark, he has always possessed the rare, resilient ability to swim in any waters—adapting instantly to whatever environment he is in.
Connecting face-to-face with the room, Juke brings a lively, upbeat energy to every performance. Rather than working from a rigid, predictable playlist, he relies on a vast, deeply curated catalog of over 500 tasteful deep cuts to adapt instantly to the exact energy of the space. He doesn't play nostalgic dress-up or historical cosplay; instead, he brings a sharp, post-modern edge to a vintage acoustic delivery. The hallmark of his performance is exceptional taste—a distinct, spontaneous curation of song and story that keeps the room buoyant, fun, and celebratory, immediately resonating with listeners who value substance, energy, and genuine connection.
On any given night, Juke’s sets pivot effortlessly from a 1920s jazz standard or classic 1960s soul to raw 1970s punk, new wave, traditional country, old-timey roots, and sun-drenched bossa nova rhythms. He is a natural "song and dance man," equally comfortable setting the mood for a lively taproom, a bustling backyard cookout, or an intimate, candlelit private salon. Because he never plays the same setlist twice, every show is a completely unique, unrepeatable live event.
Tucked between those hand-picked, deep-cut covers are Juke’s original songs. Drawing on his background as a screenwriter, Juke brings a cinematic eye to his writing, treating each song like a scene in a movie and every setlist like a narrative arc. These are original vignettes of American life set to song—moving from gritty, black-and-white photographs of highway wrecks and late-night heists to warm, technicolor bursts of coastal psychedelia. But his signature strength is his unique ability to score the golden hour—setting a warm, luminous, and cinematic soundtrack as the sun goes down over the vineyards or the coast.
In a busy, modern world, Juke’s performance is a fresh breath of classic, hand-crafted air.
One guy. Six strings. (Sometimes twelve)
Pure, unrepeatable atmosphere.
