Foy Vance started off the night. The Irish singer charmed the audience with a set of excellent folk songs. Foy directed the audience to sing as a choir for his last song, as he set his guitar down and wandered the audience, they finished his song in grand style.

Michael Kiwanuka did his first club show in San Francisco after an impressive show earlier in the year at Outside Lands Music Festival. He played a lot of the songs from his new album Home Again. Including a great rendition of the title track “Home Again.” He talked about some of the inspirations for some of the tracks on the album. If you’re looking for some great soul music, look no further than Michael Kiwanuka!
