Golden Gate Park Bandshell

Thrilled that their newly released singles are getting national radio airplay and moving up the Top 100 Americana Singles and Top 100 AAA Singles Charts, <a href="https://www.wrecklessstrangers.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Wreckless Strangers</a> continue their album release celebration with several shows in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Lucca Bar &amp; Grill in Benicia, the newly reopened historic Papermill Creek Saloon in West Marin, a stint at the Golden Gate Park Bandshell, a fundraiser for Challenged Athletes Foundation, and more.
Wreckless Strangers return to their roots with their forthcoming studio album, Dirty Souls. The six-song collection marks the band’s rawest and most visceral effort to date — a modern take on the arena rock of the ’70s and ’80s that inspired their earliest musical influences. The first single, "<a href="https://vyd.co/WrecklessStrangersDirtySoul" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Dirty Soul</a>," came out on January 23 and is getting radio play across the nation, and is available on most streaming platforms. Their second single, <a href="https://vyd.co/TheRunaround" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">“The Runaround,”</a> was released on February 27, and the <a href="https://vyd.co/DirtySouls" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">full album</a> comes out on March 27. Concert attendees will have the opportunity to purchase copies of the CD at the live shows.
Dirty Souls is the band’s third studio outing under the tutelage of Grammy-winning producer Dave Way, who fosters a level of depth and organic cohesion that firmly establishes Wreckless Strangers in San Francisco’s storied rock ’n’ roll legacy. The songwriting is among their most intimate and personal, exploring themes of relationships, loss, empowerment, and perseverance. Co-lead singers Amber Morris and David Noble function as a single organism, bringing the songs to life with bluesy grit, soul, and humanity bolstered by rock-solid, road-hewn grooves.
Visit <a href="https://wrecklessstrangers.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">WrecklessStrangers.com</a> and follow the band on social media for updates.

Wreckless Strangers is a collective of friends and musicians carrying the torch for San Francisco’s grand rock ‘n’ roll tradition. Their unique blend of “Ameri-Cali Soul” melds the contemporary blues stylings of Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs; the songwriting sensibilities of Sons of Champlin and Fleetwood Mac; the swashbuckling Americana of the Lost Planet Airmen and Peter Rowan; and the funk of Sly Stone and Tower of Power with a dash of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane for flavor and unpredictability. With soaring vocal harmonies and burning instrumental improvisation, framed by concise, poignant original songwriting, Wreckless Strangers seek to honor and carry forth the brand of free-spirited musical fun and adventure that defines the Bay Area. 

The band features Amber Morris on lead vocals; David Noble on lead guitar and lead vocals; Joshua Zucker on bass and vocals; Mick Hellman on drums and vocals; Rob Anderson on guitar and vocals; and Fletcher Nielsen on keys. The Rancho Nicasio show will also include special guests Mike Rinta (trombone), Doug Rowan (saxophone), and Ryan Scott (trumpet). 

The band was recently invited back to perform live on Nashville’s famed Americana Roots radio station, WMOT, and performed at NAMM in Southern California in January.

Dear San Francisco is the critically-acclaimed intimate and immersive circus experience created by Bay Area natives and The 7 Fingers co-founders Shana Carroll and Gypsy Snider. Since opening in September 2021, Dear San Francisco has entertained over 100,000 locals and visitors. The production invites locals and visitors alike on a heart-stopping romp through both the essence and the myth that has San Francisco indelibly etched on our collective imagination. From the 1906 earthquake and Summer of Love to beat poetry and the mysterious fog, San Francisco comes vividly to life through a series of tableaus (acts), including hoop diving, Chinese pole, Korean plank, juggling, and “hand-to-trap” (a form first created by Shana Carroll), performed by an international cast of world-class acrobats.

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com
