A couple of weeks ago my post would have been much more elated than it is today! Thinking we’d turned the corner on the pandemic and were able to frolic about with each other on these glorious summer days, we’re stepping back a few paces and covering up again. That’s ok with me, but it does put a dampener on showing off our lovely smiles in public! On the other hand, I’m happy to still be smiling amidst all the chaos the world is going through right now.
In the midst of all this doom and gloom, there are pockets of safe gatherings happening with stellar live music to bring us a little cheer! I didn’t realize how much I’d missed listening to fingers playing strings, basses booming, the beating of a drum, and voices filling the air in harmony, as I danced barefoot on the grass and sipped on a glass of ice cold Rosé! The highlights were Thievery Corporation at Stern Grove, Ozomatli at Nevada City Fairgrounds and Free Peoples at Hopmonk Tavern.
On a side note, I want to send a big shout out to KC Turner for his relentless promotion and organization of up close and personal shows that he’s got lined up for the rest of the year at Hopmonk in Novato. He managed to keep live music alive and safe during the pandemic with back yard concerts in the most unlikely of places. Good on you, KC! I like you, too!

Here’s a little something from sister and brother duo Mimi & Gabe Pirard!
EventNomads (aka SoozMusic) is happy to be representing these two wonderful musicians and long time friends as they break out of the pandemic restraints to bring some laughter and great music to you all. We are now taking bookings for Spring and Summer.
Please send us a note if you have an event you’d like to book them for or simply have them play in your back garden or front porch while we ease back into having larger gatherings. You can reach us here: sooz@eventnomads.com
If you prefer a little French and frivolity with your music ~:
Who else is ready for live music, dancing, staying out late and having long conversations with friends and strangers without worrying about keeping our distance! It feels like we’ll be able to do all of this again soon. EventNomads has had a couple of private gigs booked this week that feel like an exciting start to the end!
Whether it’s in the Spring or the Summer, please consider booking a band to celebrate with you when you gather! To peace, love and good music! Cheers!
Rain can make a wedding day stressful for everyone concerned, although if you live in California you know we pray for rain so that our land can stay luscious. March can be tricky, but we were blessed with rain in the morning followed by the most beautiful sunny Spring afternoon possible!
To make matters more challenging an insidious virus had made it’s way into our reality and canceled plans for some important guests, but the bride and groom were steadfast, and on the blessing of the Rabbi, proceeded to be wed with friends and family at Green Valley Farm in Sonoma County.
I feel blessed to have helped them celebrate a wonderful day after braving these odds!

It was great working with Gem & Jam founders again, producing a large music and arts festival outside of Tucson in Arizona. This year’s event was the best so far for festival attendees with a resilient and cohesive team running the show.
Working with people who are dependable, kind to one another, upbeat and on point makes all the difference when it comes to everyone’s performance. We were a happy team, and I look forward to the next!
Here are some photos from the event.

With just one more festival on the horizon for SoozMusic and the Healing Oasis this year, we’re happy to take a couple of months off to regroup and make ready for 2020!
This has been an amazing season of events with weddings, festivals, Oases and workshops at:
Joshua Tree Music Festival , GuitarFish, OmRising , Monterey Jazz Festival, MBS Academy, Green Valley Farm & Mill and everywhere in between.
Gem & Jam Festival in Tucson, AZ will be the first event for us in 2020!
Thanks to all for a great year!
SoozMusic is extremely excited to welcome and introduce SonoMusette!
SonoMusette recaptures the moody, melancholic sound and spirit of mid twentieth-century Paris. Inspired by the great performers of the era, such as Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, and Django Reinhardt along with contemporary artists such as Zaz. This music has retained it’s power to charm and transport audiences, and SonoMusette taps that nostalgia with artistry in vocals and instrumentation.
The band features French singer Mimi Pirard whose renditions of these timeless French classics provide a freshness and excitement that is contemporary, yet faithful to the spirit and tradition of the original versions. Few singers are capable of doing justice to Piaf and Brel, and even fewer can match Pirard’s mesmerizing interpretation and powerful delivery. The band is comprised of period instrumentation featuring Robert Lunceford – accordion, Isaac Vandeveer – guitar and bass, Jan Martinelli – upright bass and piano, and Richard Andrews on drums.
If you would like to book SonoMusette at your event, please be in touch: sooz@soozmusic.com
What a beautiful day in the rural hills and dales of Sonoma County, California. Blessed with blue skies and warm temperatures the bride and groom made their vows and inspired us all with their love for each other.
I love coordinating weddings and creating an experience for others to sit back and enjoy. In a perfect setting with a wonderful team this was a piece of cake!
Ahhhh, love rules again!
