Mark Karan, John Molo, Bobby Vega, Melvin Seals and Will Bernard will team up for an intriguing gig on December 31 in San Francisco. Dubbing themselves the Avalon All-Stars, the quintet will perform at the Tower Theater on Mission St. A warm-up gig will take place on December 18 at the Tower following the Phil & Friends show minus Bernard and with Friend John Molo yielding way to Alan Hertz for the show (although one can expect that Molo will show up post-P&F to sit in with the All-Stars).
