Southern Pacific Sessions presents Frank Fairfield’s Temple Street Trio , with Clinton Davis live at Verbatim Books in San Diego, March 22, 2024 at 8:00 pm. Tickets available through http://verbatimbooks.com/events

The Temple Street Trio is a Los Angeles-based ensemble that specializes in historically informed performances of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century popular music such as rags, waltzes, and polkas. Comprised of Frank Fairfield, David Elsenbroich, and Zac Sokolow, the group utilizes various configurations of violins, mandolins, banjos, and guitars to present a wide range of repertoire.

Frank Fairfield has toured internationally for many years, performing at Royal Albert Hall, the Kennedy Center, and NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert. Zac Sokolow, a fourth-generation professional musician, has worked in musical diplomacy on behalf of the State Department in South East Asia, Europe, and North Africa. Professor David Elsenbroich has a Masters of Music from the Thornton School of Music at USC, teaches at Chaffey College, and has managed to maintain the longest-running musical residency on the 1600 block of West Temple Street.

Clinton Davis is an old time folk musician currently based in San Diego, California. A fifth-generation Kentuckian, Davis grew up in rural Carroll County. His repertoire spans fiddle and banjo music native to his family home, the exuberant ragtime piano and guitar of early 20th-century New Orleans, and ballad songs and dance music of the Southwest.

Davis’ prowess across instruments and traditional American styles has gained notice from the standard-bearers of previous generations, and earned him a place amongst a new generation of American folk musicians. Stefan Grossman, renowned authority of American roots guitar, has called him “a master…carrying on the traditional music torch of Mike Seeger.” No Depression has called his work “a joyous and soulful restoration of one of the lost treasures of American musical tradition.” Deering Banjos has called his playing “simply sublime.”

Clinton will play a special set focusing on the piano and guitar repertoire of New Orleans ragtime and early jazz.

Our Story

Born on the coast of San Diego, Southern Pacific Sessions began in 2017 by local musicians Clinton Davis and Nick Montemarano. The series hosts different old time, folk, Americana, cajun, bluegrass, Irish, and many other types of music from around the world to perform at a local and intimate venue by the beach called Kalabash.

The event consists of a local opening act followed by the featured artist or band. Throughout the performance, audio and video are captured to produce a unique live video recording, which is added to our online video series channel.

Southern Pacific Sessions is a way to bring this unique music to the southwest, to spread the passion for old traditions and new inspirations, and to expose more of the local folks of Southern California to the beauty of the arts.
