Tuck and Patti

21+ Bar opens one hour before showtime. Tuck & Patti start at 7:30 pm.   

Performing together for over 45 years, and married for 42, this renowned improvisational vocal/guitar jazz duo always plays from the heart. It's hard to imagine a more complementary pair of collaborators. Minimalist arrangements highlight Tuck's extraordinary guitar virtuosity and Patti's rich mezzo soprano. Since their 1988 groundbreaking album Tears of Joy, the beloved duo has appeared alongside Miles Davis, Count Basie, George Benson, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and many others and been hailed as “the best duo on the planet” by Bobby McFerrin. To appreciate the depth of their talent and virtuosity, you really need to see them play live!  

See them live at Almost Famous Wine Lounge, an award-winning, new tasting room and venue located on Vasco Road in the heart of Livermore's wine, spirits and brewery district. Almost Famous Wine makes fifteen wines in diverse styles, and earned over 50 top industry awards since our debut in 2021. 

ABOUT TUCK & PATTI

“The best duo on the planet!” — BOBBY MCFERRIN 

For over 45 years, this unique, genre-crossing vocal/guitar duo has cast its passionate musical spell worldwide, capturing the hearts of lovers, the respect of jazz buffs and the jaw-dropping awe of guitarists and singers.  Their recording career took off with 1988's groundbreaking Tears of Joy.  Now, 13 albums later, they have toured the world incessantly as a duo, appearing at times alongside Miles Davis, Count Basie, George Benson, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and many others.  They have long been regarded by musicians and critics as the standard for an improvising musical duo.  Their music spans Duke Ellington, the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix--rock, pop, jazz, gospel, blues, folk, world and classical--classics and originals, but inevitably finally just sounds like Tuck & Patti.  Transcending categorization, Tuck & Patti are known for individual virtuosity in service of the greater goal of expressing love, hope and gratitude through their musical collaboration. 

To understand Tuck & Patti, start with the wellspring of love within them, then their music begins to make perfect sense. Married 42 years, Tuck Andress and Patti Cathcart continue to stoke the fires, not only of their own love, but also of their love of life and their passion for making music together. They have a long-standing tradition: Minimalist arrangements featuring Tuck's extraordinary virtuosity and Patti's rich mezzo soprano.  Renowned for her remarkable ability to touch hearts directly with her voice, Patti is also the writer, arranger and producer. Without even blinking, Tuck-the-problem-solver brags, "Patti writes and arranges; I am just the orchestra." 

Tuck and Patti have achieved a rare symbiotic musical relationship that sends critics scrambling for a reference point.  They have been compared to every legendary duo you can imagine—from Fred & Ginger to the late Leonard Feather's ringing "Not since Ella Fitzgerald met Joe Pass on stage has there been so felicitious a mating as Tuck & Patti." 

When they're not touring or recording, they teach as well as produce, record and mix other artists in their studio near San Francisco, part of their mission to use their expertise to help others realize their own dreams.
