Tuck and Patti

Tuck & Patti

The pairing of Tuck Andress' virtuoso jazz guitar and wife Patti Cathcart's lush vocals has earned favorable comparisons to such famed duos as Joe Pass and Ella Fitzgerald. Equally comfortable playing jazz standards, pop favorites (they cover everything from Jimi Hendrix to Al Green) and well-crafted originals, Tuck and Patti have been have been dazzling audiences for almost years.

Blessed with a warm, rich voice, Cathcart and her nimble, honey-toned delivery are well matched with Tuck Andress' guitar artistry. Employing an unusual technique of plucking, strumming and slapping the strings (often with both hands), Andress can make his guitar sound like several people playing at once. This intimate jazz duo is recognized the world over for their passion-filled music and extraordinarily powerful live shows. For these holiday-themed shows, Yoshi's is encouraging attendees to bring canned food donations for the SF Food Bank.
