There’s a balmy calm over the city this week – Summer is here, and the fog rolls in and out as the tides ebb and flow.
If you are lucky enough to be in San Francisco this weekend, get over to the 50 Mason Social House south of Market this Friday, June 19th for SWING NOIR. This gem of a venue serves up live music, cocktails, beer on tap and good wines in a swanky little lounge.
You can catch BARRIO MANOUCHE, DGINN, JITTERBUG RIOT, THE KLIPPTONES & JUNK PARLOR all on the same night this Friday! So, grab a partner and dance, dance, dance!
$10 Cover, 21+

It’s Earth Day, and what better way to spend it than in nature. After this post, I’ll turn off the computer and all electronics, and go for a walk. I want to feel the sunshine’s warm rays, smell the blossoms along the trail, and let a smile settle on my face.
There are a couple of great shows this weekend that I want to tell you about.
Delhi 2 Dublin are coming back our way and playing at Hopmonk in Sebastopol on Friday, April 24th. D2D have been making Sebastopol one of their tour spots for a few years now, and we want them to keep coming back, so, come on out and get onto the dance floor with this upbeat, fun, Bhangra and Celtic style band. See their tour poster below if you are not in the area and want to catch them somewhere else!
If you are in Truckee, then be sure to stop by Moody’s to hear Free Peoples on Friday, April 24th. If you miss them on Friday, then you can catch them on Saturday, April 25th at the same spot! Or go both nights!!
Free Peoples have been called “ Porch rock pros”, and their songwriting is” sophisticated with twists and turns that take the music several steps from the unexpected”.
Just back from Costa Rica and working on the fabulous SOLD OUT Envision Festival. What a trip!
The location, performers, dj’s, musicians, artists, staff, participants, food, weather and wildlife couldn’t have been better.
The two main stages designed by visionary artists were visually off the hook.
There were a couple of downsides, such as thieves breaking through the security net and finding it hard to cool off, but aside from that, I don’t think there is much room for complaint. Keeping the standard and fine tuning the bugs can surely be accomplished for next year. Hopefully, being sold out won’t mean it has to grow The size of the festival was perfect!
If you’re in the Berkeley/Oakland area tomorrow, Thursday, Jan. 22nd, and feel like a dance, get yourself over to Ashkenaz and enjoy the sounds of Royal Jelly Jive and La Mandanga!
Show starts at 8:30pm sharp! $12 – Get your tickets here: http://www.ashkenaz.com
On Friday, Jan 23rd, you can catch DGiiN and Junk Parlor at Zodiacs in Petaluma. Show starts at 9PM. $10 – Tickets: http://zodiacspetaluma.inticketing.com/events/458340/dgiin-w-junk-parlor/
