Please join us for our first full (two sets) of Stellamara live, in two full years!
We will be performing at our favorite local venue.
Where? Cayuga Vault in Santa Cruz
When? THIS coming Saturday evening.
This concert features a new ensemble member who is touring with us this year. He is well known for his multi-instrumental and rhythmic talents and deep grooves: Evan Fraser.
Plus, we are fortunate to have a special guest drummer gracing the stage with us on this night: Sean Tergis.
And more exciting news: Our CD release will be ready to purchase online on August 1st! It is entitled The Golden Thread and features the virtuosity of musicians Ross Daly and Kelly Thoma of Crete. If you have pre-purchased a copy, you will have yours mailed to you before August 1st. If you haven't pre-purchased a copy, you will have a chance to do so at this concert.
This concert is a celebration of our community in Santa Cruz and your ongoing support over the years, and for helping in the completion of The Golden Thread.
We thank you for all of your enthusiasm and support, and we hope to see you on Saturday night!
