Cafe Stritch may be gone, but Mama Kin owner Andrew Saman aims to recreate a place for live music and good food.
Andrew Saman’s band was playing the SoFA Street Fair in downtown San Jose a few years back when he heard the wailing sounds of a saxophone drifting along South First Street. He followed his ears, and they led him to Howard Wiley, who was on stage at Cafe Stritch, the jazz club and restaurant that had become a touchstone in the SoFA district.
So, it’s only fitting that Wiley performed again in that location Friday night as Saman opened Mama Kin in the old home of Cafe Stritch, which didn’t reopen its doors after the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to close. Mama Kin will be first and foremost a place for music when it’s open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Tuesdays will be devoted to vinyl, Wednesdays will feature local bands , Thursdays will be dedicated to jazz, while Friday and Saturday nights will open the music up a bit more.
“I wanted a name that had music tied into it but also a homey, nurturing kind of vibe,” Saman said. “And then ‘Mama Kin’ came up on my playlist.”Applications are open for the Leigh Weimers Emerging Artists Awards, which is celebrating its 10th year of providing unrestricted grants to Santa Clara County artists who are worthy of recognition but haven’t yet made it big.
