CD/DVD RELEASE PARTY
Steve's latest work will have its Modesto Premier right here at Jacob's Fine Dining.
This beautiful full concert video was shot last year at the State Theatre
downtown and is now completed.  We wanted to preview this work in a small intimate
atmosphere where everyone can connect with the artist and the artist can
connect with you in a manor that can't be done in a large impersonal room.  Join
us for this intimate look at a fabulous work of art and a great evening of Steve Oliver Live.

September 20, 8:00 PM

at Jacob's Fine Dining,
2501 McHenry Ave.
