GUMBY'S JUNK, FIELD HOCKEY, RIO AND THE SOUP, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 18 @8PM, $10

GUMBY’S JUNK: Oakland-based art rock band Gumby’s Junk began in 2018 as a complete mishap. Pushing musical surrealism to its limits with outrageous harmonies, circus-fast riffs, and a genre-defying mishmash, they have been described as oblique, colorful madness—like running fast while looking at the ground.

ANALOG DOG, TRIANNA FERUZA & THE HEAVY HITTERS, RIO &THE SOUP, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 25 @8PM, $10adv, $15door

ANALOG DOG: Analog Dog makes genre fluid music in San Francisco. Hailing from all corners of the country, the band came together in and around the hallowed musical breeding grounds of Golden Gate Park. With each member drawing on diverse inspirations and musical backgrounds, from self-taught to classically trained, they unite over a common love for genre-bending composition and improvisation. Honoring the vibrations of the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s, digging into the disco groves from the dance revolution of the 1970s, and simultaneously embracing modern indie pop soundscapes, Analog Dog is its own thing.

Analog Dog

TRIANNA FERUZA & THE HEAVY HITTERS: This dynamic up-and-coming artist has established home base in the Bay Area. Whether you trace her roots back to her grandfather, Solomon Feldthouse (of U.S. psychedelic rock group Kaleidoscope, played with Leonard Cohen and many others) or the rest of her family, who have been staples within the folk-world music scene. Trianna's upbringing was laden with rich influences. From Balkan jams to Hip-Hop cyphers to Jazz choirs or Flamenco meets, the list of inspiration is diverse to say the least.

BRIAN FITZGERALD TRIO

Led by guitarist Brian Fitzgerald, the Brian Fitzgerald Trio is an engaging, multi-layered musical convergence that features Fitzgerald on 7- string guitar, Mike Anderson on bass and Bruce Handloff on drums.

With a band requirement of having fun, combined with few, if any musical boundaries, all mixed into an open, improvisational jazz format, is a sure recipe to expect the unexpected. A listener will be treated to anything from hard swinging traditional jazz arrangements to re-imagined classic pop tunes often disguised in clever, thought-provoking arrangements. Performances include Kuumbwa Jazz Center, Monterey Jazz Festival, Abbott Square Market, Cabrillo Music Festival.

Though we may have a set list in mind, we play to those present; in the moment; and to the physical size of the room. 

We strive to create a musical "space" - that magical ambience where the sound is perfect and we are free to connect with our listeners. It is in that space that we can best express ourselves and respond to those who are tuned in.

HALLOWEEN SHOW!!! For kids of all ages!!! Call 831-429-6994 to reserve a table in the garden.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Purple Fox and the Heebie Jeebies has been brewing hand-crafted progressive funk with sweet, caramelized ear-candy and subtle, nutty reggae overtones, filling a void on the children’s music scene since 2014. 

With colorful hair and wacky costumes, bandleader Josh Friedman has brought new energy to the Bay Area children’s music scene with 2017’s My Purple Fox featured in Afternoon Snack, the band’s original children’s TV show, which took home that year’s national Hometown Media Award for Best Community TV Show by an Independent Producer. Their sophomore album, The Something of Love, in 2018, earned a Tillywig Top Fun Award and National Parenting Product (NAPPA) Award. The group’s 2019 release, Something’s Brewing… It’s Halloween!, a Latin rock and free jazz adventure; setting a new standard for sounds to lift spirits during spooky season. 

The band’s live shows range from interactive musical performances at festivals or school assemblies to intimate acoustic accompaniment at benefits and other private events. While starting out primarily as a progressive funk-rock outfit with as many as twelve band members, Purple Fox and the Heebie Jeebies most often features Josh Friedman (vocals, ukulele), Kristen Cardiasmenos (guitar), Brett Warren (bass), and Justin Markovits (drums). Over the years, the quartet has evolved the band’s sound into a unique blend of progressive funk, playful dance-pop, and cheerful reggae with complex, percussive instrumentation and wholesome lyrics that center around themes such as kindness and respect.

SCOTT YODER: Emerging from the wreckage of his childhood band The Pharmacy, SCOTT YODER arrived clad in a black cloak, stomping to the beat of his own sparkling tambourine. Over the course of five LPs & nearly a dozen singles he has toured the world, espousing a more personal distillation of his song craft. Nearly always on the road, he has honed his live act with a crunching, yet sensitive backing band of similarly-inclined misfits. This glitter-folk balladeer, adorned in mascara & bell bottoms invites you to sway to his entrancing charm.

"Visually, he evokes the glam of T. Rex and "Aladdin Sane"-era David Bowie while being more on par musically with the brooding genius of Brian Wilson." – Purehoney Magazine

"This new project is a complete turn into a darker, more Bryan Ferry type of territory. Scott wore a vampire-esque cape complete with silky white gloves and haunted the room, constantly meeting eyes with audience members. I dug it. Would see again." – Three Imaginary Girls

"A punch-drunk ode to cosmic love; one that you'll want to leave repeating on your turntable." – KEXP

BUFFALO BLUES TRIO, FREE BRUNCH SHOW ON THE GARDEN STAGE, 11AM TO 1PM

BUFFALO BLUES TRIO, FREE BRUNCH SHOW ON THE GARDEN STAGE, 11AM TO 1PM

Santa Cruz Mountains locals Michele Murphy, Diane Bock, and Ramon Marc Butler share a love of the blues. The spark for their group, the Buffalo Blues Trio, was struck in 2018 when Michele and a girlfriend went to see the Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical, A Night With Janis Joplin at the Santa Cruz Civic. “I was on the edge of my seat with tears running down my face at the story of Janis’ life,” Michele recalls. She approached her friend Ramon, an experienced slide guitar player and former bandmate from the band Sleepless Nights, about putting together a group that would pay homage to Janis’ raw, soulful sound and other female singer-songwriters who influenced the blues. Then Michele met jazz vocalist and bass player Diane Bock at open mic night at Michael’s on Main, and the three musicians hit it off, spending the ensuing years coalescing their chops diving deep into the music of notable blues divas from the 1920s through the 1960s. 

Ramon grew up with Motown and got turned onto the blues from friends and connections in Black Mountain, North Carolina, where he has his roots. His blues sensibility is bedrock. Diane is an elementary school music theory teacher whose improvisational agility adds to the musical integrity. “Blues is American classical music,” Diane said. “Every musician today, I don’t care if it’s rock n’ roll, The Stones, whoever, it pretty much all goes back to blues. It’s the great grandfather of jazz, rock, hip hop, all of it. It’s the one musical form that was born in this country.” Focusing on women in blues, Ramon said, “It’s kind of an underserved area. “I mean everybody thinks of John Lee Hooker or Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, but there’s all these other great singers.” And as Ramon says, “Everything starts with the singer.” 

Originally from Buffalo, New York, Michele chooses from a wide selection of female-forward songs that tell the story of life, things that everyone can relate to. “Wild Women Don’t Have the Blues,” recorded in 1924 by singer Ida Cox with Lovie Austin’s Blues Serenaders carries a strong feminist message. “Ain’t Nobody’s Business,” a song about freedom of choice written by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins in 1922 was covered by many famous singers, including Billie Holiday. “Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl,” a composition by Clarence Williams and Tim Brynn was first released in 1931 on a recording by Bessie Smith. With its suggestive lyrics, Michele can swing her performance of ‘Sugar with a little sass. Also on the setlist, many songs written by Janis Joplin including “One Good Man” and “Mary Jane.”

Michele also writes some of the songs the group performs. “Bird” is about a family member who struggles for freedom. “Sin House” tells the story of addiction and recovery. “A Pot of Soup” was written during darker times with lyrics meant to ‘raise the vibration’.
