As many of you know, we've lost a few very close friends and family members recently. Gerald Chaviaras a few weeks ago, Ronnie Hawkins last month, and it's coming upon the year anniversary of Duke Collins. We've been trying to put something like this together for a while now and it's finally coming together. Please save the date and share with anyone who'd like to attend. We're also working on a video so if you'd like to contribute any photos you may private message me or Andy Garza. Thank you to the guys from Schooner at Sunset for giving us the venue! Live musical performances by ALLENSWORTH (Jamie Allensworth, Anthony Gonzales) THE PHARMACY KEYS (Chad Benekos, Cody Requejo) and SIR MADAM (Kishori Holiday, Andy Garza).
