+ 2 more dates →5:30-7:30pm Slingshot Improv Trio didn't so much form as detonate slowly over two decades - a controlled explosion of shared history, deep grooves, and accumulated musical mischief that the Bay Area never quite saw coming but probably should have. Bassist Pete Novembre and drummer Bret Bailey formed the funk-jam powerhouse Elephino back in 1999. Bret and guitarist Matt Hartle formed Shady Groove in 2001. All three had played together as hired guns countless times before the lightbulb moment when someone finally said: what if we did our own thing? Matt Hartle (China Cats, Painted Mandolin, Shady Groove, Grateful Sundays with the Hartle Gold Band) is widely regarded as one of the premier guitarists in the Bay Area - a fluid, soulful firecracker with a degree in Jazz Performance whose playing draws comparisons to Jerry Garcia, Carlos Santana, and Steve Kimock, yet remains unmistakably his own. Pete Novembre (OM Trio, Coffee Zombie Collective, Aza, Elephino) is the kind of bass player other musicians talk about after the show - a Santa Cruz readers' poll Bronze medalist for Best Musician whose previous band OM Trio was voted Best Jazz Band in San Francisco in 2001. Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Bret Bailey (Shady Groove, Elephino, BlissNinnies, Cosmic Pinball), raised on New Orleans jazz, brings a rhythmic intuition that makes the whole thing breathe. Together, they've shared stages with Stanley Jordan, Henry Kaiser, Melvin Seals, Donna Jean Godchaux, Joe Craven, Ike Willis, Mark Karan, and many more - a collective résumé that hints at just how far their musical instincts can travel. And travel they do. With a big map and no planned destination, this trio of seasoned improvisers from the jazz, funk, and jamband worlds use song and structure the way spacecraft use planets: not to land and stay, but to slingshot around and be propelled back out into the galaxy. During their mostly-improv shows, a familiar song could materialize at any time. Or not. All we

The art is happy and colorful with contrast and organic marks bringing a deeper sense of movement and interest in my paintings. I want you to discover where it might take you – a restful place or somewhere far removed from the everyday and mundane. I believe art should be more than visual, I want it to be an experience for the viewer. I paint to make us feel that we are all seen, accepted, understood, and included in this world as a part of our greater shared experiences. Meet Whitney at the Silver Mountain Vineyards tasting room on Friday, October 2, from 4-7 p.m. Chat with her about her beautiful paintings and sip on some fantastic wines. Cheers!
We’re open early and late! Catch us on either side of your evening or make a reservation (https://www.bigbasinvineyards.com/) and stay awhile… We have a lovely patio with fire-pit tables, and well behaved creatures are welcome! Suzy Radonsky is a self-taught Santa Cruz based acrylic painter specializing in neo-realistic wildlife and pet portraits that explore the spirit and presence of animals. Her work is driven by a deep fascination with the emotional and energetic connection between humans and the animal world. Suzy seeks to reveal their individuality, intelligence and soul. Her distinctive technique layers bold, unexpected color beneath intricate fur, feathers and scales, creating luminous depth and vibrancy. Using a distinctive layering technique she gradually builds fur, feathers and scales over bright colors, allowing light and energy to radiate to the surface. Recently diagnosed as Autistic, Suzy recognizes how her heightened sensory perception informs her work, allowing her to see and translate vivid color relationships with unusual intensity and nuance. Her paintings move beyond traditional realism toward a more intuitive representation of the natural world. https://www.suzyradarts.com/

The Experience: Picnic of Memory transforms Evergreen Cemetery into an immersive experience combining site-specific walking installations with individual heirloom picnic baskets. Guests are also welcome to bring their own food & drinks to enjoy during the picnic gathering. Conceived of by Liz Birnbaum, founder of The Curated Feast, as a return to place-based culinary storytelling, Picnic of Memory invites you on a contemplative walk through site-specific installations before gathering on the lawn for a shared picnic. Baskets are crafted by Chef Jessica Yarr of The Grove in Felton, featuring local and historical flavors, and logistics and sourcing support thanks to Seth Heitzenrater of La Posta.

Maya DeVitry & Mark Erelli LIVE at Lille Aeske Arthouse THURSDAY 10/08/2026 Show at 8 PM / Doors at 7 PM $30 in Advance / $35 at the Door MUSIC | ART | FOOD |DRINKS About Maya DeVitry: Energized by the spontaneity of live performance and a revelatory pursuit of truth in her lyric writing, Maya de Vitry returns with her fifth full-length album, All My Faith. Prioritizing presence and grit over studio polish, she sounds joyously at home in the alt-country and indie-folk realms. From canyons to kitchens, from cold lakes to highway truck stops, the songs form a vibrant collage of joy, sorrow, and gut-wrenching honesty. Whether spinning an inspirational tale about hungover bachelorettes at the Nashville airport or exploring the prison of our own adaptations, de Vitry brings a grounded confidence and quiet charisma rooted in her belief in the power of song to change us. About Mark Erelli Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Mark Erelli is a Boston-based veteran of the folk and roots music scene, renowned for his emotional honesty, craftsmanship, and warmth. Erelli exploded out of the gate in 1999 when he won the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award in the wake of his "auspicious debut" (Billboard), joining the ranks of previous honorees like Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith. More recently, Erelli penned the anti-gun violence song "By Degrees," recorded in collaboration with Rosanne Cash, Sheryl Crow, and others, which garnered a nomination for Song of the Year at the 2019 Americana Honors and Awards. He followed this honor with a pair of records that drew comparisons to both Tom Petty and John Prine, as well as praise for their energy, grace, and resilience. Now, on his fourteenth solo album Spring Green, Erelli delivers his most cohesive and emotionally resonant work to date-a meditation on vulnerability, endurance, and renewal. DINNER and SHOW: We will be serving authentic Indian Food including Mango Lassi and Chai at the event. Both meat and vegetarian/vegan options. C
