More info at The Fourth Bore is located at: 2 Orinda Theatre Square Ste 134, Orinda, CA Adrian West Band is a rising force in the Bay Area music scene. Based in… Oakland, the six-piece band plays original acoustic rock which they dub "Paul Simon meets Talking Heads". A classically trained violinist who later turned to drums, guitar and singing, Adrian is a gifted composer and arranger. His lyrics range from whimsical to philosophical and ride atop a steady wave of catchy music. He always writes the music first and lyrics second, only adding lyrics if he feels the music stands on its own. Fun fact: Paul Simon and David Byrne (of Talking Heads) work pretty much the same way. Adrian figured out a while ago that he likes having trained jazz musicians in his band. Jazz musicians bring technical chops and versatility. They know how to listen to each other and make a song flourish. So to keep things interesting (for band and audience alike), they also play a couple popular Jazz standards. The repertoire for this show will be roughly 70% originals and
