Music Fun Week of June 11, 2013

UPDATES (since Tuesday) in RED
June is bustin’ out all over!

I can't resist adding another of Laura's fanciful fashions for your (and my) enjoyment. She made this for a Marin Symphony fundraiser we worked last week. You can see more at LauraMaeDesigns.com (aka Lilacs and Lace). 


The weather is all over the place, but summer is in the air – lots of fun and frolic to look forward to!
This past week had the pleasure of dancing with the California Honeydrops at Hopmonk!
The music is back at Northgate, and Friday we heard the San Francisco Music Club with Lorin Rowan and Jimmy Dillon and company.  Then we proceeded to TREK Winery to dance to one of our favorite groups, The James Moseley Band.
On Saturday we saw a lot of you at the Novato Art Wine Music Festival, where we heard Pamela Rose, and then after our shift at the TREK Winery booth got to groove to Levi Lloyd on the stage.  On Sunday my feet were too pooped to do much, until I rallied late afternoon, and made it back for Tom Rigney and Flambeau!

This week I’m hopin’ Carlos will accompany me to the Corte Madera Community Center on Wednesday evening for the Big Band Dance.  There’s also The Four Teardrops as featured act at Dennis Haneda’s Open Mic at Hopmonk.
On Friday there’s The Unauthorized Rolling Stones at Creekside Tam Valley, to begin the evening.  Then on to Peri’s for some Soul Satellites, and maybe stop by Hopmonk on our way home for a little Moonalice!

On Saturday there’s the daytime Marin Art Festival at Lagoon Park for Stompy Jones and more Moonalice; and the evening brings another toss of the coin for either Danny Click and the Hell Yeahs at the Rancho, or the Presidio Yacht Club for Johnny Z and Medicine Man; or how about some Black Market Blues at Hopmonk??  And there’s Revolver at Fenix, and Jamie Clark & Cole Tate at Harmonia
Sunday some more fun at Lagoon Park if we survive to enjoy Mari Mack, Lorin Rowan & The Edge, and a little Lumanation.  Mercy.

Stay tuned for more Summer Music listings … Creekside, Magnolia Terrace at Elks Club, San Anselmo Creek Park + Art & Wine, Osher Marin JCC, Marin Art & Garden Center—and more!

Wishing good Health & Happiness for y’all!  ♫♪

Music Fun Week of June 4, 2013

UPDATES (since Tuesday) in RED
Local Color:

Just for fun, adding daughter Laura’s latest post.  You can see more at LauraMaeDesigns.com (aka Lilacs and Lace).

More glad tidings of being well enough to enjoy the music and dance …
This week returned to Hopmonk on Wednesday for Open Mic, capably run by Dennis Haneda, and backed up by his family of musicians Gentry on keys, Dave on bass, Ruthie on drums.  It was a stellar evening to be there, packed with folks enjoying the variety show. We arrived for a young singer/ songwriter/ guitarist Nick Tara, who won my heart when he proclaimed how cool “old” people are. And he’s talented and upbeat. Then Joel Schick came on as the featured act—what a kick!  He’s been around a long time, shades of Dylan and rockabilly.  And of course there’s always Geraldine …

Friday was a treat at TREK Winery with Herb Marshall Group for some jazz, along with wonderful “frontman” Dan Brown.  Still had some energy, so stopped by Hopmonk on the way home, and hit a home run with the B-Side Players for some “Mexican reggae”!  Whew!  First time the management completely cleared the dance floor and the dancers took advantage.

For this week, hope to be at Hopmonk on Thursday for the California Honeydrops!
Friday we’ll be at Northgate as they kick off their summer series with the San Francisco Music Club, with Lorin Rowan and Jimmy Dillon. That’s from 6-8; then we head over to TREK Winery for the debut of the James Moseley Dance Band (yes, the full band) in the Barrel Room from 8-10:30.

On Saturday we’ll be working the TREK Winery booth (#314) at the Novato Art Wine Music Festival, from 1-4pm, near the 7th St. stage.  Please stop by!
Sunday will likely find us back on Grant Ave. to support some of our favorite musicians!

I aim to get my expanded Summer Music listing up later this week:  SO MUCH TO ADD! (like Creekside, Magnolia Terrace at Elks Club, San Anselmo Creek Park + Art & Wine, Osher Marin JCC, Marin Art & Garden Center—and more!

Wishing good Health & Happiness for y’all!  ♫♪
