Bay Area recording artist Travis King — who sings “49er Faithful,” as well as other Niners-themed songs — will be at Jura’s on Saturday at 4 p.m., about an hour before kickoff of the NFC Divisional playoff game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks.

The event is completely booked, with no tables available, but fans interested in meeting King for photos and autographs are encouraged to stop by.

“He’ll be available from about 4 to 4:45 p.m.,” said Pap Aghassi, owner of Jura’s, 783 N. Golden State Blvd. “After that, Travis wants to be a 49ers fan and watch the game, though he will be performing during halftime. We’re thrilled to have him.”

Jura’s has a history of supporting the franchise and serving as an unofficial hangout for 49er fans.

“We noticed he was at a watch-party in Tracy last week, so my sister, Flora (Aghassi), reached out to him,” said Aghassi, who operates the business with Flora, sister Nora, and brother Jura. “We just emailed and asked if he’d like to come to a 49ers pizza and sports bar. He talked with his agent and agreed to come out.”

The 49ers and Seahawks, both members of the NFC West, are meeting for the third time this season. The 49ers won 17-13 in the teams’ first meeting on Sept. 7 in Seattle, but fell 13-3 on Jan. 3 at Levi’s Stadium — a loss that cost the 49ers home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

San Francisco toppled defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia 23-19 last week in the wild-card round. Seattle, the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, is coming off a bye.

A win Saturday would send the 49ers to the NFC championship game for the fifth time in the past seven years, where they would face the winner of Sunday’s Rams-Bears matchup

“All of our 49er fans have been here with us every step of the way, from the first game of the season,” said Aghassi. “We really wanted to do something to give back to the fans. That’s why we got Travis King to come out.”
