American jazz fusion titans Everything Yes are set to grace the Wirral venue on Thurs 1st May. Spearheaded by enigmatic drummer Zack Graybeal, known famously as Zack Grooves on his platforms, the audience are in for a treat from these charismatic and high tempo trailblazers! The extraordinarily talented 5 piece jazz fusion outfit are widely regarded as being one of the most entertaining live jazz bands in the US, led by Zack Grooves who has gone viral with his drumming prowess. Anyone who knows a thing or two about jazz will appreciate what a fantastic booking this is for Birkenhead.

Since Covid, it has been a difficult time for live music venues, but Events 471 seek a balance between giving local bands a future and giving the venue a future attracting international power houses like Everything Yes. With an ethical approach, they are helping develop local artist and bands whilst bringing a wide and diverse range of genres to the area. With over 2,000 tickets sold across 17 events in their first year, they’re doing a fine job.

Events 471’s Carrick Moran said: “We are trying to keep our offering as diverse as possible, covering all genres, whilst giving local artists and bands the opportunity to flourish and express themselves too. In terms of these particular bookings, we’re proud to be bringing such big hitters of the jazz scene to Birkenhead!”

He continued: “We also have regular jazz and poetry nights at Start Yard in Birkenhead, just around the corner from Future Yard. On the first Wednesday of every month we showcase top local jazz acts and Wordsmithery events on the third Wednesday — the evenings have gone down really well. It’s been a great start to 2024 so far and we have a diverse programme of events lined up — with something for everyone.”
