Big Basin Winery August 12, 2022 5:30pm

 Hi everyone,

We have been playing a few private parties and at the farmer's market, and I have been remiss in publishing those gigs. We are working on establishing a few regular, monthly gigs again, and will let you know when those are set up. Our next public gig is at the Big Basin Winery on August 12th, 2022 from 5:30 to 9pm. It is very close to the recently reopened Big Basin State Park. Reservations are required to visit the park and encouraged at the winery, so consider reserving a hike at Big Basin and a table at the winery. Here is a link to their site: https://www.bigbasinvineyards.com.

The next opportunity to hear us play will be on September 4th at Chielo's (formerly Ella's at the Airport) in 100 Aviation Way Watsonville. More information to come about this event soon. Then on September 11 we will be playing for the Hot Jazz Society at the Elks Lodge in Monterey. More info about that event also coming soon.
