9 Nils6:00 pm $https://www.ticketmaster.com cover NilsJune 9 @ 6:00 pm Dave Koz – I’m a big fan of his, I’ve been playing his music on the radio. Great quality, great musicianship, lots of heart and soul. Jonathan Widran – “ Nils has been an urban jazz hit-maker, with his songs lingering in the top of the charts seemingly forever because they are all so picture perfect, melodic, infectious and grooving. Nils is an exciting player whose recordings achieve the rare feat of capturing the excitement he generates on stage. Phil Perry – ” I especially like Nils’ light-fingered-luster approach to guitar playing. It was a joy to work with him.” Guitar virtuoso Nils has been one of the most successful forces in the Contemporary Jazz genre. With 4 number 1 Hits in the Billboard Smooth Jazz charts, including the Song of the Decade 2001-2010 “Pacific Coast Highway” and the Song of the Year 2011 ” Jump Start”, he stands out amongst his peers. “His CD ‘Jazz Gems – The Best of Nils’ could easily be titled “The Best of Contemporary Jazz” and it is pure joy and exhilaration reliving these masterfully composed and produced hits.” As songwriter and producer he used his “Midas touch ” to provide hits for many artist in this genre, including Lisa Addeo, George Benson, Brian Simpson, Reza Khan, Alvin Pope, Tony Saunders to name a few. | 10 | 11 Ashley Norton & Guests6:00 pm Americana $5 cover | 12 | 13 Ben Rice Astral Stone Blues Experiment6:00 pm Blues $www.ticketmaster.com cover | 14 | 15 |

30 Humphreys Gospel Brunch w/ Earl Thomas & Sister Leola Ft. Whitney Shay1:00 pm Gospel $Ticketmaster cover Humphreys Gospel Brunch w/ Earl Thomas & Sister Leola Ft. Whitney ShayJune 30 @ 1:00 pm ” One of the top 5 shows in San Diego in 2023″ – George Varga, SD Union-Tribune $20 Reserved Seating (DOES NOT INCLUDE FOOD AND BEVERAGE.) $25 VIP Earl Thomas’ gospel rebirth Earl Thomas retired from music in late 2019 — or so he thought. The award-winning San Diego blues soul singer and songwriter had toured the world multiple times, released a slew of albums and seen his songs recorded by Etta James, Ike Turner and other earthy American music luminaries. He seemed content to spend his time working as a dental technician in La Jolla. But an invitation to perform a series of Sunday gospel concerts at Humphreys Backstage Live this year saw the Tennessee native spring back into action. As the leader of Earl Tomas & The Gospel Ambassadors, featuring Sister Leola, his electrifying performances led to an invitation to appear with his band at famed London jazz club Ronnie Scott’s as part of the 2023 London Jazz Festival. A rousing new album, “Church Songs,” was released this fall, and Thomas’ Nov. 12 London performance was recorded for an upcoming live release. He and his band now have an international booking agent and have already been booked for concerts in Scandinavia next summer. “I felt like I was phony doing the blues,” Thomas said in a September interview with the Union-Tribune. “Now that I’m doing gospel, I feel completely legit. This is where I live.” Visit Humphreys Restaurant to view Brunch Menu
