The Tall Men Group with JaKL
Saturday, July 20, 6pm
Tall Men Group was born in 2012 when beloved singer-songwriter Jimmy Yessian invited five of
his peers over for dinner. That night inspired 13 years (and counting) of monthly dinners to
which each member brings in a brand new song. That in turn has led to five albums, countless
live shows up and down the west coast, and an ardent fan following.
The Talls are now down to four members, and still going strong. Edward Tree is everyone’s first
choice as producer and guitarist. Severin Browne has hosted his First Friday concert series for
two decades. Marty Axelrod is the host of the zoom concert/hangout series Party At My Cave.
John Stowers just released his solo album Open.
Having lost their founder and chef Jimmy to cancer in 2021, the Talls carry on with take-out
dinners and still brilliant songwriting. Their live shows are treasured for rich vocal harmonies,
top-notch musicianship, brotherly camaraderie and unforgettable songs.
