Don Sebian described Joe and Tims’ January 29, 2025 show at the Bop Stop this way: "Two exciting and wonderful sets of jazz, blues and more presented by Tim Matson and Joe Hunter at the Bop Stop Wednesday evening. The concert included an unexpected range of musical diversity and an extraordinarily impressive level of interplay between the two. The music was tight, the mood was comfortable, relaxed and locked into every note."
Tickets for tonight are $15 each in advance and $20 the day of show (a $2 per ticket processing fee will be added to your purchase).
Featuring:
Joe Hunter, piano, vocals
Tim Matson, guitar, vocals.
This event will also be livestreamed on BOP STOP's Youtube Channel at showtime. Accessing the stream is free but donations are encouraged and directly support the band.
