Davis Odd Fellows Thursday Live! Maurice Tani
February 2, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Donations encouraged
Davis Odd Fellows Thursday Live! returns on February 2nd with Maurice Tani. As always, Thursday Live! is donation only with all money going to the musicians. Please give generously.
San Francisco’s Maurice Tani has been a fixture on the local alt-country scene for more than a decade with his band 77 El Deora, and previously sang and played guitar for the seminal Motown-style party bands Zasu Pitts Memorial Orchestra and Big Bang Beat. The San Francisco Chronicle has praised his “twangy modern country sound” and called his songs “wry yet romantic, tender but aggressive.” Robert Sproul, No Depression Magazine, wrote: “I was blown away! Maurice Tani writes songs that sound at once familiar, ethereal and beautiful. A songwriter’s songwriter with recurring themes of his own life experiences.”
Known for his agile guitar style and expressive singing, Maurice Tani’s particular flavor of Americana is a broad-spectrum tincture of influences to cure the wide range of ills his fertile imagination conjures. While rooted (at times distantly) in country music, his writing is centered on an urban-western perspective. Short musical narratives of life on the left coast. A sort of cinema for the blind. No one blends Americana, Blues and Country quite like Tani.
The Odd Fellows Hall is at 415 2nd St. in downtown Davis. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. All ages are welcome.
We are so proud and thankful for music lovers in our community who continue to keep live music with local musicians alive and thriving. The Davis Odd Fellows Music Committee is proud to be a part of that effort!
Thursday Live! is sponsored by the Davis Odd Fellows Music Committee with support from KDRT radio. It’s a continuous music series that happens the first Thursday of most months.

On Thursday, January 26 at 5PM on KDRT radio, Maurice will be interviewed by DJ Rodriguez on his Silver Nine Volt Heart show.
