Meyhouse & Meyhouse Jazz Club

Richard Howell brings a lifetime of music shaped by deep experience, collaboration, and a singular artistic vision. Known for his concept of “Bridge Music,” his work moves fluidly across jazz, soul, funk, and global traditions, bringing different musical languages into one shared space.
 
Over the years, he has performed and recorded with artists including Etta James, Chaka Khan, Don Cherry, and Charlie Haden. As a bandleader, his ensemble Sudden Changes reflects that same openness, both structured and free, rooted in tradition while remaining exploratory.
 
For this evening at Meyhouse Jazz, Howell presents a program centered on something direct and human: music that lifts the room. Drawing from jazz standards, familiar melodies, and original compositions, the set unfolds with warmth, groove, and a sense of connection, shaped less by concept and more by how it feels in the moment.
 
He is joined by a distinguished group of musicians: pianist Frank Martin, bassist Ravi Abcarian, percussionist Adrian Areas, and vocalist Pasha Howell. Each brings a distinct voice into a shared musical conversation.
 
An evening grounded in experience, shaped by spontaneity, and carried by a clear intention to bring people together through sound. We have 2 sets per night, and our full menu is available to order. Set 1 Door opens at 5pm&nbsp; Show starts at 6:30 pm&nbsp; Set 2 Door opens at 8pm&nbsp; Show starts at 8:30 pm&nbsp;

Join us, either in person or online, as we watch Rob Palmer interview former psychic Fleureo.
Fleureo was raised by her mother to be a psychic and was a long-time true-believer and practicing psychic, but she then came to realize what she perceived as psychic powers were just fabrications of her own mind.
To her credit, Fleureo did not bury her realization and go on with life—as if nothing had changed—and knowingly pretend to be psychic. Instead, Fleureo created a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@fleureo_" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">YouTube channel</a> (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@fleureo_" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.youtube.com/@fleureo_</a>) to shine the light of reason on the psychic and mediumship business, exposing the tricks and manipulation tactics used by those in this line of work. Her channel boasts over 24,000 subscribers, so hopefully she is changing many minds.
Rob Palmer has had a diverse career in engineering, having worked as a spacecraft designer, an aerospace project engineer, a computer programmer, and a software systems engineer. Rob became a skeptical activist when he joined the Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia team in 2016, and began writing for <a href="https://skepticalinquirer.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">skepticalinquirer.org</a> in 2018. Rob can be contacted at [<a href="mailto:TheWellKnownSkeptic@gmail.com">TheWellKnownSkeptic@gmail.com</a>](<a href="https://mailto:TheWellKnownSkeptic@gmail.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mailto:TheWellKnownSkeptic@gmail.com</a>) Like Rob's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TWKSkeptic/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Facebook page</a> to get notified when his articles are published.

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
