Agent Orange is a hardcore surf punk trio who dominated the original West Coast punk scene in the early '80s. The band has been performing for nearly 40 years and has not lost any of their ferocious energy. Ever since the trio released their debut demo Bloodstains, Agent Orange has been a brutal punk force that should not be reckoned with.
Punk has a reputation for being wild and chaotic, but Agent Orange was spreading their particularly fierce brand of surf punk before punk even had a reputation in California. They invented the formula that would come to define the Orange County punk sound.

Mother Earth comprises 18 works that explore artist Charlotte Gibb’s personal connection to the natural world. The exhibit rejoices in the delicate and ephemeral nature of Mother Earth -- her rages, her quiet contemplation, her dignified poses. Inspired by the constant change of nature, these images depict heart-breakingly beautiful moments, both fleeting and powerful: giant pines weathering a raging snowstorm to momentarily reveal a massive wall of granite; ghostly white Aspen trees in the final throes of Autumn; reflections in still water that play tricks on the mind.
A native Californian, Charlotte Gibb graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco with a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design. [less-]

Keith Harkin is an Irish singer/songwriter who has been singing and performing since age 4. His musical talents have brought him across the world from the UK to the United States, Canada, Australia, South America and literally everywhere in between.
Keith released his first solo album with David Foster and Verve Records, where it soared to #1 on Billboard Music Charts.
Since then, he’s released two more albums on the Blue Elan Record label based in Los Angeles.
Keith's love for the classics (Don Henley, Glen Campbell, Tom Waits, Neil Young and Van Morrison, to name a few) are reflected in his collection of folk-infused, acoustic pop sounds. Combined with his honey-thick voice and a full live band, Keith takes you on journey that creeps into your heart strings.
Prior to working on his solo career, Keith gained international recognition as a lead soloist in Celtic Thunder. His role there brought him to write and record a number of his own songs and perform for a vast worldwide audience, including President Obama and on numerous PBS specials. [less-]

Rakim is one-half of a legendary hip hop duo he formed with producer Eric B. The New York MC has been considered the greatest rapper of all time. His rhyme scheme is often compared to free jazz greats like Thelonious Monk.
Rakim flows through beats with masterful wordplay and hard-hitting, street-ready imagery. He released his debut album with Eric B. 30 years ago and he hasn't stopped working since. Rakim understands the art that he wants to create and just what it takes to achieve a vision. As long as Rakim has something to say, a story to tell, and he won't stop until he feels he's reached the ending. [less-]

This scavenger race is similar to an Amazing Race through downtown Sacramento. Teams will solve clues on foot that will lead them to different challenges. Challenges may range from taking a team picture at a location to solving a specific answer to a question as you navigate your way through Sacramento with family and friends!
Proceeds from the Sactown Urban Dash will benefit local children's charities and WEAVE, a life-changing non-profit provider that works to build a community that does not tolerate sexual assault, domestic violence and sex trafficking and provides survivors with the support they need to be safe and thrive. WEAVEs vision is a community free of violence and abuse.
The Race:
The challenges and race is designed to be fun for all ages and ability levels. The course is designed for teams to finish between 60 to 90 minutes; but participants can choose their speed--whether that's a mad dash from clue to clue, or a more leisurely pace. Teams may range in size from two (2) participants all the way up to ten (10) participants; however all participants must be in each challenge photo to receive credit. The clock begins once the air horn is blown and times are recorded as teams cross the finish line.
Children are welcome to be a part of the team.
The After Party:
There will be an after-party with music and raffle at Hot Italian where racers can take a group commemorative photo, receive a free raffle ticket, and trip through the pizza bite bar. All additional drink and food purchases will provide a 25% kickback to our fundraising efforts. Anyone wanting to join the party but not participate in the race may purchase an after-party ticket and join in on the fun! [less-]

Avery Sunshine is a rhythm and blues and soul artist whose background in a number of church choirs has made for music that has been called "refreshingly original" and "radiant." She is currently working and touring to support her third album, Twenty Sixty Four, which was released back in April. Her music recalls Atlanta soul made popular by artists like Andre 3000, but she brings her own charm to the table. Avery Sunshine doesn't just sing - she belts out or carefully hushes notes through her vocal chords. Everything she does is meticulous, but not devoid of humanity. The way she pours herself into her songs is why the genre is called soul in the first place. [less-]

Americana, bluegrass and country music genres are in-the-midst of a renaissance. In all corners of the country, artists are making a name for themselves with remarkably refreshing takes on traditional genres; efforts that are redefining the music beyond simple categorizations. The Brothers Comatose, Mipso, and The Lil Smokies are of this ilk. Each reside in different parts of America – The Brothers Comatose from the West Coast, Mipso from North Carolina’s Triangle region, and The Lil Smokies from the Rocky Mountains. Bringing their own unique interpretations of, and inspired contributions to, the evolution of traditional American music, each act sets a new bar with their compelling live performances. Together on one stage – music fans will be treated to charismatic singers, virtuosic string-slingers, complex and nuanced songwriting and compositions, and more.
With each band quickly rising the ranks, “Campfire Caravan” is a nod to the musicians’ early days playing music, when they’d perform for friends and family in basements, living rooms, and around campfires. “Campfire Caravan” celebrates the American tradition of gathering communities around music. In an untraditional format, all three bands rotate in the lineup with no single ensemble acting as the tour headliner. A completely different show will be presented in each city with spontaneous collaborations amongst the groups taking place between sets. [less-]

Boris is a band that cannot be easily defined. It is more of an art project that tends to focus on drone metal, but pushes the boundaries of the genre to its limits by incorporating dream pop, shoegaze and ambient music.
Since starting the project 25 years ago, the members of Boris have always taken any element to the music they play and flipped, it turned it inside out and made it wholly new. The three-piece, which consists of only founding members, have a need to experiment. It is almost essential for them to place elements together that are not meant to compliment one another and figure out how to tweak them until they are just right. [less-]

El Ten Eleven may make music, but their compositions do more than sound pleasing. The duo make lush orchestral sounds that conjure nostalgia and deep-seated emotions. They are never ones to shy away from instrumentation -- the band will often use unconventional instruments like a fretless bass or a doubleneck guitar to create their vast sonic space. El Ten Eleven is as much an emotional experience for fans as it is a musical one. It's not uncommon for people to be brought to tears by the band's performance.
Having been making music for fifteen years can mean different things for different acts. For El Ten Eleven, it means they have space to experiment and span years of influence.

Prior to working on his solo career, Keith gained international recognition as a lead soloist in Celtic Thunder. His role there brought him to write and record a number of his own songs and perform for a vast worldwide audience, including President Obama and on numerous PBS specials. [less-]

Rakim is one-half of a legendary hip hop duo he formed with producer Eric B. The New York MC has been considered the greatest rapper of all time. His rhyme scheme is often compared to free jazz greats like Thelonious Monk.
Rakim flows through beats with masterful wordplay and hard-hitting, street-ready imagery. He released his debut album with Eric B. 30 years ago and he hasn't stopped working since. Rakim understands the art that he wants to create and just what it takes to achieve a vision. As long as Rakim has something to say, a story to tell, and he won't stop until he feels he's reached the ending. [less-]

This scavenger race is similar to an Amazing Race through downtown Sacramento. Teams will solve clues on foot that will lead them to different challenges. Challenges may range from taking a team picture at a location to solving a specific answer to a question as you navigate your way through Sacramento with family and friends!
Proceeds from the Sactown Urban Dash will benefit local children's charities and WEAVE, a life-changing non-profit provider that works to build a community that does not tolerate sexual assault, domestic violence and sex trafficking and provides survivors with the support they need to be safe and thrive. WEAVEs vision is a community free of violence and abuse.
The Race:
The challenges and race is designed to be fun for all ages and ability levels. The course is designed for teams to finish between 60 to 90 minutes; but participants can choose their speed--whether that's a mad dash from clue to clue, or a more leisurely pace. Teams may range in size from two (2) participants all the way up to ten (10) participants; however all participants must be in each challenge photo to receive credit. The clock begins once the air horn is blown and times are recorded as teams cross the finish line.
Children are welcome to be a part of the team.
The After Party:
There will be an after-party with music and raffle at Hot Italian where racers can take a group commemorative photo, receive a free raffle ticket, and trip through the pizza bite bar. All additional drink and food purchases will provide a 25% kickback to our fundraising efforts. Anyone wanting to join the party but not participate in the race may purchase an after-party ticket and join in on the fun! [less-]

Avery Sunshine is a rhythm and blues and soul artist whose background in a number of church choirs has made for music that has been called "refreshingly original" and "radiant." She is currently working and touring to support her third album, Twenty Sixty Four, which was released back in April. Her music recalls Atlanta soul made popular by artists like Andre 3000, but she brings her own charm to the table. Avery Sunshine doesn't just sing - she belts out or carefully hushes notes through her vocal chords. Everything she does is meticulous, but not devoid of humanity. The way she pours herself into her songs is why the genre is called soul in the first place. [less-]

Americana, bluegrass and country music genres are in-the-midst of a renaissance. In all corners of the country, artists are making a name for themselves with remarkably refreshing takes on traditional genres; efforts that are redefining the music beyond simple categorizations. The Brothers Comatose, Mipso, and The Lil Smokies are of this ilk. Each reside in different parts of America – The Brothers Comatose from the West Coast, Mipso from North Carolina’s Triangle region, and The Lil Smokies from the Rocky Mountains. Bringing their own unique interpretations of, and inspired contributions to, the evolution of traditional American music, each act sets a new bar with their compelling live performances. Together on one stage – music fans will be treated to charismatic singers, virtuosic string-slingers, complex and nuanced songwriting and compositions, and more.
With each band quickly rising the ranks, “Campfire Caravan” is a nod to the musicians’ early days playing music, when they’d perform for friends and family in basements, living rooms, and around campfires. “Campfire Caravan” celebrates the American tradition of gathering communities around music. In an untraditional format, all three bands rotate in the lineup with no single ensemble acting as the tour headliner. A completely different show will be presented in each city with spontaneous collaborations amongst the groups taking place between sets. [less-]

Boris is a band that cannot be easily defined. It is more of an art project that tends to focus on drone metal, but pushes the boundaries of the genre to its limits by incorporating dream pop, shoegaze and ambient music.
Since starting the project 25 years ago, the members of Boris have always taken any element to the music they play and flipped, it turned it inside out and made it wholly new. The three-piece, which consists of only founding members, have a need to experiment. It is almost essential for them to place elements together that are not meant to compliment one another and figure out how to tweak them until they are just right. [less-]

El Ten Eleven may make music, but their compositions do more than sound pleasing. The duo make lush orchestral sounds that conjure nostalgia and deep-seated emotions. They are never ones to shy away from instrumentation -- the band will often use unconventional instruments like a fretless bass or a doubleneck guitar to create their vast sonic space. El Ten Eleven is as much an emotional experience for fans as it is a musical one. It's not uncommon for people to be brought to tears by the band's performance.
Having been making music for fifteen years can mean different things for different acts. For El Ten Eleven, it means they have space to experiment and span years of influence.

How to honor the legacy of a band deemed sacred? To tread on holy ground is perilous, and must be done with the intent and spirit of a disciple -- pay attention to the intricacies of the magic, explore the far ends of the innovation, strive for ever-growing ability, and let the purity of the love for the music drive it all.
Now more than ever, Zepparella explores their own improvised magic within the framework of Zeppelin’s mighty songs! [less-]
