Newsletter: Upcoming: Wolf Jett (July 23rd) & Instrumental Funk Session (July 26th)
QUALITY VIBE BLAST
Hello Beautiful People!
If you’re near the East Bay the next couple weeks and enjoy connection, please check out the following feel-good gatherings curated by yours truly. I think you’ll find the venues, performers and staff welcoming, entertaining and mindful. These are rare and life-enriching qualities worthy of our joyful participation and support in my humble opinion.
I look forward to crossing paths with you soon and swapping smiles. Any help spreading the word in the meantime would be greatly appreciated so thank you for passing this along to other local music lovers!
Sincerely,
Winter :)
Join me on Sunday, July 23rd for a quality vibe outdoor concert experience at CRUfit Collective (in Oakland, CA) featuring Wolf Jett (a festively fun Americana band from Santa Cruz).
Doors 12:30pm /Downbeat 1pm.
Link to Eventbrite tickets ($20 per patron) here. All ages welcome.
Delicious bites from Café 15 and libations will be available (please bring cash).
Montclair Parking Garage only one block away at 6235 La Salle Ave, Oakland, CA 94611.
Expand the experience and visit the Montclair Village Farmers Market two blocks away on La Salle between 9am-1pm.
The sound of Wolf Jett will make you dance, sing, and possibly even howl! Its roots run deep through the soul and help heal the heaviness of life. Their music is a celebration of perseverance, infusing folk, blues, and Americana into what can only be described as "Cosmic Mountain Music.”Frontman Chris Jones was born in the South and raised in CA. His songs combine the best of both worlds to create a vibe that is fresh yet immediately familiar to a broad audience. He is joined by long-time musical collaborator Jon Payne on drums, Duncan Shipton on bass, Will Fourt on dobro/guitar. Often featuring Laura T. Lewis on vocals/percussion and other special guests, to boot.
The Ivy Room (in Albany, CA) and I also invite you to another uniquely dynamic Instrumental Funk Session on Wednesday, July 26th.

Surprise Guests
Doors 7pm / Downbeat 7:30pm
My first collaboration with The Back Room in Berkeley, CA will be feature saxophonist Peter Daniel (hailing from Seattle, WA) on his first-ever solo tour to the Bay Area, where he'll be showcasing his remarkable talent and musical prowess.
Known as the leader of the renowned bands FUTURENOT and 45th St Brass, Peter Daniel has an impressive resume that speaks volumes. He has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry, including ODESZA, Father John Misty, Liv Warfield, Jimmy James and Mononeon to name just a few.
With his upcoming solo album on the horizon, Peter Daniel is about to unveil a collection of funk-infused jazz tracks that will have you grooving in no time. Prepare to be transported to a world where soulful melodies meet infectious rhythms, all brought to life by some of the finest musicians Seattle has to offer.
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to witness Peter Daniel's mesmerizing performance, as he graces the Bay Area stage for the very first time. He'll be joined by bassist Jason Gray (Polyrhythmics).
Tickets are $18 in advance and $20 at the door (cash or Venmo only). All ages welcome. Children under 12 are free.
Advance tickets are available here on Eventbrite.
