Arrington de Dionyso and Sandy Ewen
Sandy Ewen performs an idiosyncratic take on guitar, focused on texture,
contrast and continuity. For over 20 years, Ewen has been performing and
recording both solo and in collaborations. She has worked with many
guitar greats and improvisational masters, among them Keith Rowe, Henry
Kaiser, Roscoe Mitchell, Damon Smith, Weasel Walter, Lisa Cameron, Ravi
Coltrane, Danny Kamins, Marc Edwards and Tom Carter. Ewen performs
frequently in her home base of Brooklyn New York, and also tours with
some regularity.
www.sandyewen.bandcamp.com
”Arrington de Dionyso’s art is a howl from the gut of the cosmos—a sound
that bypasses the rational mind to vibrate directly in the marrow. His
work isn’t simply poetry or music; it’s revelation, a raw transmission
from the fringes of human experience where language frays into
glossolalia and the self dissolves into the primal soup of existence. To
engage with his work is to stand at the edge of the abyss and realize
the abyss is singing back.”
www.arrington.bandcamp.com
Doors at 5pm, tickets at the door. Suggested donation, $10-$20. No one turned away for lack of funds.

Mia Wilson & Jeff Moller
Mia Wilson and Jeff Moller:
“(Mia Wilson) blends piano and guitar based compositions with lush orchestral arrangements to create a backdrop for (her) introspective lyrics and captivating mezzo-soprano vocals. The album recalls the golden glow of late 60’s & early 70’s LA records like Carole King’s "Tapestry", Judee Sill’s "Heart Food", and Jackson Browne’s "Late For the Sky".” https://miawilson.bandcamp.com/album/mia-wilson
“Building on his experience as a journeyman musician, Jeff Moller writes slacker anthems that sound like a fog-pop Tom Petty - full of his trademark sardonic humor, catchy melodic hooks, and colorful arrangements.” https://jeffmoller.bandcamp.com/
Doors at 5, show 7-10pm. Tickets $10, available at the door.
Fruit Bats / Vetiver *SOLD OUT*
An intimate evening with Andy of Vetiver and Eric of Fruit Bats on the Caspar Inn Stage, part of their 20 year Friendiversary tour
Eric D. Johnson and Andy Cabic have a lot in common. Two kindred spirits with a common affinity for songwriting that embraces a range of feeling, strong on melodies paired with thoughtful lyrics and catchy hooks. Over the years, they’ve played in each other’s bands (Fruit Bats and Vetiver), on one another’s albums, scored films together, and toured the world with one another, and their 2019 collaborative EP In Real Life (Live at Spacebomb Studios) served as a time capsule of their musical relationship at that time. Now a friendship of 20 years, the pair is celebrating the occasion, coming together once again on the California coast for a couple of special shows.
