Berkeley songwriter/guitarist Steve Taylor-Ramirez brings his genre-bending music to The Rellik Tavern, 726 1st St., Benicia, this Wed., April 22, in a solo acoustic show from 7-10 pm.

Named a “Critic’s Choice” by the Bay Area News Group, East Bay Express and UC Berkeley, Taylor-Ramirez plays a mix of folk-rock, Latin, Americana and blues that listeners say crosses boundaries.

A former guitarist for the house band at an Oakland church, Taylor-Ramirez plays regularly at popular venues throughout the Bay Area. You can hear his music on Pandora.com internet radio, and at http://www.reverbnation.com/stevetaylorramirez. His songs have aired on local radio and television stations as well.
