Cosmo Alleycats will be performing at the Piedmont Piano Company in Oakland, California on September 8, 2026. The band is known for a distinctive blend of jazz, swing, and blues influences, often incorporating elements of vintage vocal harmony and upbeat instrumental arrangements. Their sound draws comparisons to artists from the jump blues and early rock and roll eras, presented with a modern energy.

The Piedmont Piano Company has a long history as both a piano retailer and a performance venue. Established in 1968 by Jeff Andersen, it began as a resource for sourcing used and restored pianos, specializing in Steinway & Sons instruments. Over time, the company evolved to include regular live music performances, becoming a recognized hub for jazz and acoustic music within the East Bay community. The venue itself maintains an intimate setting, reflecting its origins as a showroom with pianos often integrated into the performance space. It’s known for its excellent acoustics and focus on showcasing piano-centric musical styles. The space regularly hosts local and touring musicians across various genres but maintains strong ties to jazz traditions.
