Benefit for Mike Cogan (Bay Records)

I have worked at Bay Records several times over the years, and Mike was the engineer on Might as Well: The Persuasions Sing Grateful Dead. The list of great records – jazz, folk, and other – to come out of Bay Records is huge and stellar. And on top of all that, Mike Cogan is a kind and generous man.

For the past 38 years, Mike Cogan has operated Bay Records in the East Bay. It is the number one recording studio in the Bay area for acoustic recordings of all kinds: folk, blues, and jazz, among others. Recently Mike has major health issues that have greatly diminished his finances. Consequently, a diverse group of Bay Area jazz stars will donate their time and talent to a fund raising concert, For the Love of Mike.

Tickets: $20.00 – 510 238-9200
