Old News...
(For a more complete list of my current & recently past gigs, look under Shows.)

from May 2010:
I'm celebrating my 50th this year by putting on a show.
3 shows in truth! (But see above:) Yeah yeah yeah!

Paying tribute to a true genius Mr. Stevie Wonder! So many great songs to pick from, it was a tough call. Lots of my friends wanted in but it's only an hour show. Still got great songs picked and amazing friends joining in.

May 6 is my actual birth date and the next 2 Thursdays will make it a 3 Thursday night run. That way we get to celebrate as much as possible! That's the only way to do it.

The only present I need is your presence at this show!



THURSDAYS in SEPTEMBER
Long ago and far away, in the town of boys, there was a bar called Gentry, and we sang there.  Hours and hours on Sundays, for years and years, and it was good.  Now it's a brand new show but it's still us, Dan and I performing for your pleasure!
EVERY THURSDAY in SEPTEMBER at Davenport's Piano Bar.

Please join us! Of course if you are a singer we'd love to have you sit in too!
I can't wait! Alma Mendoza and Dan Stetzel at Dav's on Thursdays!
Together again! Every Thursday Night in SEPTEMBER!
Alma Mendoza & Dan Stetzel

September 2008:


June 2007
John Lennon said, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."  And that's kinda exactly what happened to the piano shows with my friend and wonderful accompanist Dan Stetzel.  Since we did those shows regularly I've changed my daylight job, Dan has moved his famous open mic night to a new venue, my daughter has graduated from Stanford, I staged a big month-long rock/gospel show, and now I host karaoke Friday nights in the back room at Davenport's!

Now for one more good thing - Wednesday night June 20th ( 2007) come see Alma Mendoza & Dan Stetzel perform for 4 hours in the Chaise Lounge at Davenport's Piano Bar!  It's our first-ever show in the front room piano bar, and we'd love to see all our friends there!  There's no cover charge in the Chaise Lounge, no reservations needed, just 4 solid hours of me and Dan doing our favorites, your favorites, new favorites, and of course your requests as well.  What a way to start the SUMMER!

PS!
Remember, it's your chance to turn the tables and sing to me every Friday night, 10:30pm to 1:30am, when I host karaoke in the rear Cabaret Room at Davenport's!  "Showcase style" karaoke in a beautiful listening room -- it's your stage for two songs at a time!  And there's no cover charge for karaoke in the Cabaret Room!
