<a href="https://www.jackcutter.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.jackcutter.com/</a> Jack Cutter is a San Francisco based acoustic steel string guitarist, composer and music producer. Influenced by folk, classical, Hawaiian slack key, blues, rock, ambient and country, he melds the old with new for a meditative listen; especially mesmerizing is Cutter’s ethereal, high-pitched harmonics. He is currently performing live as a solo artist as well as recording/producing for ambient collaboration Satya Sky. Jack migrated from Buffalo, New York, in the 70s having minored in music at State University of New York at Buffalo. While at University, he played in bar bands on the side. After relocating to California, Jack went into studio engineering and became partner/owner of Razor's Edge Recording in San Francisco for 10 years, He now has his own private studio where he composes his albums. ​ In 2011, he released his first album, Into Byzantium. In 2013, he released Beyond Byzantium. ​ Fast forward to fall 2014: Jack is playing his quintessential tune, ‘Gift of Our Fathers’ when he was spotted by 40 Thieves producer Layne Fox. In the subsequent months, two of Jack’s original acoustic pieces were given the 40 Thieves treatment, and—having fallen in love with the cosmic boogie (of 40 Thieves classic ‘Backward Love’)—Jack felt he would love nothing more than to write a tune with them. This resulted in the reworking of Jack's two tracks from Into Byzantium (Serpent Strut and Gift Of Our Fathers). ​ Then, Brighton UK-based (now Berlin-based) singer and producer David Harks joined in on the Serpent Strut track to add inspired vocals to the local legend’s typically solo instrumental music. The co-written result, titled Serpent Strut (feat David Harks), melds the old with new for a meditative listen; still featuring is Cutter’s ethereal harmonics. The newly produced version of Serpent Strut and Gift Of Our Fathers was released in 2015 as a vinyl single on the UK's Claremont 56 label. ​​ In 2016, he released his third solo album In The Realm Of The Hungry Ghost. ​​ Jack continues to live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area and we are thrilled to bring him to you.

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.jaegerreidmusic.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.jaegerreidmusic.com/</a> Some of the best discoveries are made by accident and that's what happened in the fusion of the musical talents of Judi Jaeger and Bob Reid. They unwittingly found that perfect harmony while standing next to each other at a music camp jam in the summer of 2015. Their musical spark quickly caught fire and was noticed by those around them - and the successful collaboration between Jaeger and Reid was born. Judi grew up near Montreal, Canada, where her world was filled with music; her mother and brother sang and played guitar and she listened to Leonard Cohen, Peter, Paul &amp; Mary, Pete Seeger and many others. She began her career as a performing songwriter as an expression of her loss after the death of her mother and has written songs for her local domestic violence prevention organization. Bob is a fourth generation Californian, and like Judi, Bob also grew up surrounded by music. Bob's Mom performed in coffeehouses in the 1960's, while his father was a gospel concert promoter. Bob has been a California Arts Council Artist-in the Schools, performed at the United Nations in New York, in concert, at festivals and in schools across the United States. His original songs have been sung by Pete Seeger, Bill Harley, Cathy Fink &amp; Marcy Marxer and many others. Bob was chosen by the Seeger family to perform at memorial concerts for both Pete and Toshi Seeger in New York. Bob has a keen eye for musicality, empowerment, appreciation of nature and social causes in his writing. Jaeger &amp; Reid have been performing around the United States, in Canada and France in a variety of venues, indoors and out, including house concerts. Download our Press Kit &gt; “The love between the singer, who sings the song well, and truly, and the audience, which has been waiting for the song, and knows it when they hear it, is a true love.” — Malvina Reynolds

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.tempestmusic.com/html/caliban.html" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.tempestmusic.com/html/caliban.html</a> Lief Sorbye and Jon Berger began performing together in 1993 when Jon first joined Lief's Celtic rock band of—now worldwide renown—Tempest. When performing in a more intimate setting, they pare down to a duo and combine the rich tones of acoustic instrumentation with a good dollop of the excitement and energy that is the trademark of a Tempest show. Caliban presents a delightful, eclectic blend of music on fiddle, mandola, mando-guitar, and accordion, filling a set with spirited dance-tunes and spellbinding ballads. Their repertoire consists of Celtic and British Isles material, as well as songs from Sorbye's native Norway. Featuring tight vocal harmonies and great instrumental skills, their show has a lively feel and a contagious sense of humor.

Amara

Amara is where the Mediterranean comes to play! A sun-soaked garden, bold flavors, and a vibe that pulls you in and keeps you there. By day, it’s the place for long, lazy brunches and families sharing plates in the shade. By night, the energy shifts, cocktails flow, music hums, and the garden feels like a secret you’re lucky to know. Every dish is crafted from peak-season ingredients, inspired by coastlines and cultures where life moves a little slower and tastes a little better. One visit won’t be enough and that’s exactly how we like it. Our Philosophy Food &amp; Drink At Amara, the food and drink share the same philosophy start with the best ingredients and let them shine. We work with local farms and the weekly farmers market to source peak-season produce, ensuring every plate is as fresh, vibrant, and nourishing as it is delicious. Cocktails follow the same principle, mixed with market-fresh herbs, citrus, and spices into creations that feel inventive yet effortless. It’s quality without pretension, made for people who truly care about what’s on their plate and in their glass. Space Amara is designed to transport a sunlit garden, airy interiors, and cozy corners are perfect for lingering. Inspired by the Mediterranean’s rugged coastlines and warm hospitality, our space blends natural textures, lush greenery, and flowing water to create an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. It’s where you can sink in, slow down, and feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Events at Amara From long, lazy brunches to lively Thursday DJ nights, Amara offers experiences as dynamic as its setting. Our garden and private spaces host everything from intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings, while seasonal events like Diwali dinners or chef’s table tastings make every visit feel unique. Whether you’re here for a glass of wine at golden hour or a full evening under the stars, there’s always something to draw you back. Check Happenings to see current
