Appleberry Jam Presents

For my musician friends who are into effect pedals: Peter Rutter (VFE Pedals) is a very creative engineer and teacher who designed the Klein Bottle parallel looper and currently has an Indiegogo campaign for a stereo version. Connecting in parallel is so much more interesting than in series, and opens up new voicings for old pedals. Stereo parallel takes that up another notch. Check out the campaign for pre-order deals and options: https://igg.me/at/kleinbottle/x/37958839 #/

Final 2022 Marinwood Music In The Park is this Friday, 8/19/2022, 6pm-8pm! Super excited about this last concert, as it will be eight musicians in a "Pedal Steel Summit", featuring two pedal steel soloists (Ian Taylor Sutton & Joe Goldmark), slide/lap steel guitarist James DePrato, with Paul Olguin on bass, and Jt John on drums. Leading a mix of Country Western, Folk, and Rock tunes will be singer/songwriters Tom Rhodes and Joan Wilson Reuter, plus yours truly. I've produced four of these completely improvisational shows before with different artists and they've been a big hit. Come down to close out the summer and do a little swing dancing on the green!

Thanks to the nice crowd at Big Rock BBQ today who donated to the Food Bank as part of my Busking For Good music performances. You contributed $360 which will provide 720 meals! The poster is from my performances a few years back, so it needs to be adjusted for inflation. Currently the Food Bank is able to provide 2 meals for each $1 donated. All the more reason to help out those in need. You can give directly here:

Come to Big Rock BBQ* on Sunday 3/6/22, from 1pm-3pm, to support the Food Bank and hear these beauties. I'm "Busking for Good" again so grab some lunch, Marin sunshine, and songs. All tips go to the SFMarin Food Bank!
