  • brent tyler & jory kinjo live at red bird oct 8

    Brent Tyler & Jory Kinjo (Past Event)

    He's seven feet tall. He sounds like a young Martin Sexton with a broken heart and a full tank of hope. His buddy trained in jazz, cut his teeth on Motown and Stax, and somehow turned all of it into acoustic Ska that grooves hard and rides easy. Together, Brent Tyler & Jory Kinjo are the kind of live show that sneaks up on you: two guitars, two voices, zero pretense, and a whole lot of soul. Catch them on the Red Bird patio this October for a free night of genre-hopping, heart-mending music that's exactly the kind of thing we built this place for. Good beer, good pizza, better company.
