St. Alban's Episcopal Church, 1501 Washington Avenue, Albany, CA 94706

Open mic origins to local stages with Folk-rooted storytelling, emotion &amp; exploration.Have you ever heard a Swedish Nyckelharpa? Here's your chance!&nbsp;If a Tree Falls is a Berkeley-based folk trio featuring Mark Walstrom and daughter Jennie Walstrom - who together do that epic Everly brothers&nbsp; harmonizing - along with musical pal Bernie Lenhoff.&nbsp; Together they play the nyckelharpa, the dobro, guitar, and mandolin and sing beautiful traditional songs. Many know Mark through his work at his shop, Timbre Folk &amp; Baroque, where he sells and repairs stringed instruments. The trio are regulars at the HOOT!"The sound this trio makes isn't heard, it's felt - like a pang of love, or longing, or loss. And their alchemy not only carries you through such emotions, but leaves you in a place somewhere beyond them. This is sound that purifies." - JxoA nyckelharpa has 16 strings: 3 melody strings, one drone string, and 12 sympathetic vibration (or resonance) strings. It has about 37 wooden keys arranged to slide under the strings. Each key has a tangent that reaches up and stops (frets) a string to make a particular note. The player uses a short bow with the right hand, and pushes on the keys with the left. It has a 3 octave range (from the same low "G" as a fiddle's 4th string) and sounds something like a fiddle, only with lots more resonance.Bernie Lenhoff (Guitar, dobro, voice)Mark Walstrom (Guitar, mandolin, nyckelharpa, voice)Jennie Walstrom (voice, nyckelharpa)$15-$30.Presented by Calliope: East Bay Music &amp; Arts

Free 20-Minute Photo Coaching Session with Camera or Lens

Looking Glass Photographic Outfitters

Here in Berkeley, Looking Glass Photo is where gear, guidance, and community come together—since 1971. We’re a boutique-style camera shop that outfits photographers with exactly what they need and nothing they don’t. That means real conversations, hands-on help, and curated solutions across top brands like Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony and more. We carry new gear, offer a thoughtful selection of preowned and consignment cameras and lenses, and place special orders when the perfect fit isn’t on the shelf. Learning is at the heart of what we do. Join our small-group classes and workshops, sign up for photo adventures in the wild (from tide pools to elk rut season), or dig into image reviews and practical technique sessions. Our Rentals program makes it easy to test drive the latest bodies, lenses, lighting and accessories—perfect for a weekend project or a big assignment—while our “Try Before You Buy” and paid Gear Outfitting service help you make confident choices. What makes us unique? Personalized coaching before and after a purchase, community-driven events (including our Photo Friends network), and a values-driven approach that puts longevity and stewardship first. We stand behind the gear we sell, keep darkroom and printing essentials flowing, and cheer on your growth every step of the way. Whether you’re brand-new to photography or a seasoned pro, Looking Glass is your trusted partner for classes, adventures, rentals, consignment and used gear, and a welcoming community that lifts each other up.
