Santa Cruz Music Scene in SJ Mercury News

Wow! I was just at Arden's Garden on Friday to see Larry Hosford, and today he shows up on the front page of the A+E section of the Sunday San Jose Mercury News.

The article was "Live From Santa Cruz: While Silicon Valley sleeps, a vibrant scene serves Surf City's vast array of musical tastes" by David Beck.

FIRST LOOK
All the Santa Cruz promoters are mentioned, including John Sandidge of Snazzy Productions, who makes it clear that bands love playing where there's good local radio support. Amen.

There are also 10 great photographs that went with the article and are available at the website, too, including a first look at the new Don Quixote's in Felton, where the Henfling's music series has moved.

Unfortunately, the best image of Don Quixote's is only in the newspaper. It's of a small, raised stage holding six band members with very colorful murals on either side walls. Folks are dancing in front or dine at tables, each lit with candles. Can't wait to experience it in person!


TREE HOUSE CARPOOL?
Which reminds me, the first time Juliet and I will be heading up to Don Quixote's for sure will be May 2nd for Redbird, which is made up of not only Kris Delmhorst but Tree House performers Peter Mulvey (last June) and Jeffrey Foucault (last October).

But we might make it up earlier for Vance Gilbert (April 7) or the South Austin Jug Band (April 12).
