Midtown Dreamers is a Palo Alto folk-rock band with a passion for creating uplifting, expressive and soulful nmusic. They came together as a response to the social isolation of Covid back in the summer of 2020, and bonded over musical influences spanning from Elvis to 80’s alternative to 90’s grunge and pop. They perform regularly at the Cal Ave Farmers Market in midtown Palo Alto and at local music events, building a loyal crowd of regulars and exposing younger generations to artists such as Neil Young, REM, Tom Petty, as well as British alternative such as Radiohead, The Cure, and The Smiths. They also perform original compositions, with a demo in the works. Come out and dance, have a drink, and maybe hear some of your favorite songs! Andrew MacKenzie will open for Midtown Dreamers. He has crafted music since picking up the guitar in 1993. A singer, guitarist, and songwriter, his sound is a raw blend of grit and soul—drawing inspiration from the thunderous energy of Guns N’ Roses, the grunge poetry of Nirvana, and the heartfelt storytelling of Ray LaMontagne. With decades of experience and a voice that carries both edge and emotion, Andrew continues to write and perform music that resonates deeply and authentically.

San Francisco’s Conspiracy of Beards perform their new show, The Unified Heart of Leonard Cohen, celebrating Cohen’s words, music, and contemplations on “The Order of the Unified Heart,” the symbol of two hearts intertwined that appears on the cover of the 1984 poetry collection Book of Mercy. This book inspired the 1985 album Various Positions, which includes some of Cohen’s most iconic songs, including “If It Be Your Will,” “Dance Me to the End of Love,” and “Hallelujah.” ​ The Crux is a mad scientist’s music laboratory, where songs are presented as theatrical experiments with odd and beautiful intensity: lullabies to drink your morning coffee to, gospel songs for the faithless, pirate shanties for people who get seasick, and swing music for the graceless. ​ The Crux has appeared as chain-rattling klezmer folk punks, an unhinged revival service, a theatrical film-noir jazz combo, and more. This band is a true North Bay institution with a revolving cast of musicians assembled and coaxed into action by regional impresario Josh Windmiller. The Crux will present Cohen’s New Skin for the Old Ceremony and other favorites. San Francisco Poet Laureate Genny Lim will open the evening, accompanied by cellist Kathryn Bates.

The result can make large groups of people gather together and explode with joy. There is a Cut/Copy song for everyone, and their songs tend to be ageless -- suitable for both teenage angst and cocktail parties.

Their songs matter to the masses in the same way that the Higgs boson gives mass to all matter. Their music is the Big Bang to a universe of sound. Some say that their music has the potential to destroy the universe, but it is a risk that we should be willing to take. This is what you get when deftly bowed strings collide with ironclad songwriting. This is the pure distillation of adventure and heartache of American song. https://thesamchase.com/epk-the-sam-chase-trio/ https://tinyurl.com/n9pu3ne5 https://www.instagram.com/thesamchase/ https://www.youtube.com/@thesamchase Devon McClive and Sons is an indie-folk trio from San Francisco. With the jazz stylings of the “sons” mixed with a voice that carries a deep soulful resonance, the trio creates hauntingly beautiful songs that stay with you long after the music fades. The instrumentation of voice, cello, piano, and drums brings a fresh, mixed-genre style to the music, with moments of folk, jazz, country, and chamber-pop. Drawing inspiration from the eclectic spirit of the Bay Area, McClive’s music is a reflection of both vulnerability and strength, weaving stories of personal introspection and universal emotion. The sultry melodies, paired with evocative lyrics, create an intimate atmosphere that invites listeners into the world of Devon McClive and Sons. https://www.facebook.com/DevonMcClive/ https://www.instagram.com/devonmcclive/
