Hello Everyone, This Saturday afternoon from 12:30 til 2:30 the Jai Josefs Quartet will be bringing our unique blend of Jazzy Rock and Rockin’ Jazz to Hop Monk in Sonoma at 691 Broadway. We’ll be playing original arrangements of a delicious blend of the music of Sting, Santana, Steely Dan, the Crusaders, etc. plus originals. And they’ll be serving a delicious blend of food (salads, burgers, sandwiches, etc) plus beers from around the world. What a great way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon! Please join us….James

Greetings fellow rhythmists,
This occasional update is to remind everyone that the Community Drum Circle offered through Sausalito Parks and Recreation continues weekly, every Tuesday.
Our Summer hours are 5:30pm til dusk at the Dunphy Park gazebo, by the bocce courts on Bridgeway, weather permitting.
Winter hours (after daylight time ends, or on cold wet weather days) we will meet from 5:00 to 7:00pm in the Edgewater Room, downstairs from the library at 420 Litho Street.
Note the room change. The city council changed its meeting time, so we will focus on acoustic interior space rhythming in our ongoing drum jams for personal and community health, wellness, and recreation. Fun and friendly, all levels welcome.
Remember, Sausalito Community Drum Circle is open to everyone, weekly. Pay what you will, no one turned away.
