The Empowered Caregiver: Building Foundations of Caregiving

<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 California cuisine restaurant with mediterranean leaning.

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
