It worked so well last time that I asked ChatGPT to promote this concert
as well. (I promise I won't rely on this particular crutch in the future...)

I asked it:

Write a concert announcement for Tom's Place in Berkeley on February 26 at 8:00 PM. There will be two acts, the Paul Sakai trio featuring Tim Duff and Josh Allen, and the Ken Ueno - Matt Ingalls duo.

ChatGPT replied (lightly edited by me -- the emojis were all ChatGPT's work):

๐ŸŽถ Live at Tom's Place โ€“ A Night of Energy Music & Improvisation! ๐ŸŽถ

๐Ÿ“… Date: Monday, February 26
๐Ÿ•— Time: 8:00 PM
๐Ÿ“ Location: Tomโ€™s Place, Berkeley

Join us for an unforgettable evening of bold sounds and boundary-pushing performances at Tomโ€™s Place!

โœจ Featuring:

Paul Sakai Trio โ€” with Paul Sakai (drums) joined by the masterful Tim Duff (double bass) and the explosive Josh Allen (saxophone), delivering dynamic energy music explorations.
Ken Ueno & Matt Ingalls Duo โ€” a rare collaboration between experimental vocalist/composer Ken Ueno and clarinetist Matt Ingalls, promising a set full of sonic surprises and deep improvisation.

COVID still hasn't gone away, so we have to make some accommodations to it. Seating will be strictly limited -- we may have to turn you away if we fill our (reduced) capacity. You must be vaccinated against COVID, and you must wear a mask while on the premises. We won't have any snacks, because it seems to me like that's incompatible with masking.
