sorry for all the gig spam but - it all starts today! I haven’t seen our friends the Forty Drop Few since we visited them in Portland OR (where Ashley took this tintype!).

Message me if you want more details for any of those shows. I’m looking forward to playing music I rarely get to play and seeing lots of friends!
Really excited to announce that Cacciatore Di Tesori will be playing a house show in Santa Cruz next week! What a treat to get to play music with these folks again. You won't want to miss it. April 17th at 7pm . Cacciatore Di Tesori (Treasure Hunters) is an acoustic quartet (2 mandolins, concertina, guitar) of Italian music enthusiasts who play traditional music of Italy - mazurkas, waltzes, polkas, tarantellas, and a tango or two. The repertoire is culled from master musicians through first-hand contact with Italian musicians, 78rpm recordings, and sometimes written sources. Lively harmonies and countermelodies are an integral part of their performance style.
Maxwell Apra - mandolin
Irene Herrmann - mandolin
Janet Dows - concertina
Kaethe Hostetter -guitar
Come one, come all to the Audubon Zoo. The
Glo Worms will be performing waltzes and mazurkas too! All Easter Weekend, from 1-3 pm. Bring yourself, maybe your family a friend or maybe two!
4/3, 4/4, 4/5 from 1-3 pm at the seal exhibit 🦭

I will be teaching a class on the evolution of string band traditions into jazz, and a class on the Ballo Liscio mandolin tradition that flourished among Italian American communities around the Bay Area.There's still time to sign up if you want to attend! If you're interested in traditional music on strings/ early jazz on strings This is a great opportunity to learn from world class musicans .A tremendous thanks to @mattmunisteri for including me again this year!

We’ve been so grateful to have a few days at the beautiful @sailorvineyard in Port Townsend on this little tour - thank you Claire and Kit for having us!
Today we took advantage of the wine cellar acoustics to record a little - this is Sufrimento from Johnny Perry’s Instrumental Trio, recorded in 1932. I read they were the first Cape Verdean band to record an album in the US, as Johnny Perry’s Portuguese Criolo Trio (1929). In later recordings they also went by Johnny Perry’s Capeverdean Serenaders.
@vannotvann on guitar, @maxwellapra on mandolin, @rachel.meirs on fiddle.
Come out to @salonsalonnola tonight from 7-10pm! Reservations recommended . Italian tunes , jazz standards on slide guitar and mandolin, Lionel belasco tunes , and a bunch of other stuff too. ❤️🪕💎 @yesiammattbell@officialcoleplay
