Jeffrey Halford & the Healers
Saturday, September 25, 2010
7:30 PM
Compared to John Fogerty, John Prine and even Bob Dylan, Jeffrey Halford with his band, the Healers offer soulful blues-influenced rootsy rock-n-roll. Getting his start on the streets and small clubs in San Francisco, Halford's songs create a uniquely American, and specifically California, landscape. He's played with Taj Mahal, Los Lobos, Dave Alvin, and others — making a name for himself with poetic lyrics, a raw and haunting slide guitar and a band of master players.
"I am here to place Jeffrey Halford . . . in the pantheon of great American singer-songwriters." - Buddy Siegal, OC Weekly/ Los Angeles

Salt Petal
Saturday, November 13, 2010
8:00 PM
With a repertoire of Spanish/English/Portuguese tunes that blend folk and rock and everything in between, Salt Petal performs exciting melodies backed up by intricate rhythms. Part lullaby, part classic rock tango, part slow cumbia groove, each song pulses with a mix of the far away and the familiar.
Creating songs from the music they grew up hearing in the backyards of Buenos Aires, San Francisco, and Guanajuato, Salt Petal makes a new sound from the musical traditions of their hometowns. "Listen closely, as you'll hear everything that makes music the one true language of life." — Brian Ball, WomensRadio
Opening Act:
The Youth Folklorico Dancers of Wilmington YMCA
