Midnight Kitchen is an East Bay/Northern California band serving up a mix of Chicago, New Orleans, and West Coast Blues and R&B, with tasty sides of Jump and Swing.

Featuring Jeanne Schuman’s sultry vocals, Tim Ports’ and Jerry Fiddler’s imaginative and penetrating guitar lines, Barbara Miercke’s evocative violin, and drummer Nancy Geimer and bassist Rich Nosek holding down the groove, Midnight Kitchen will provide you the blues you can use to elevate your spirit and nourish your soul!
