Musical chemistry is a rare, intangible thing. But for Andy Platts and Shawn Lee, the creative force behind Young Gun Silver Fox the unmalleable, unspoken connection that gives their work such a unique and distinctive sound was apparent from their first experiences in a studio together.

Alongside their now decade plus long tenure as Young Gun Silver Fox where they have built up a growing fanbase which includes the likes of Hans Zimmer, Jeff Lyne, and The Black Pumas to name a few , both have already received plaudits for their individual creative excursions. American born, UK-based musician Shawn Lee through his own extensive catalogue of recordings with the likes of Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra and his well-received solo albums, as well as a go to award winning producer and multi-instrumentalist for the likes of James Morrison and Joel Culpepper, and more recently musical director and drummer for the legendary Asha Puthli in Europe, USA & Australia. Meanwhile the multi-talented Andy Platts is the chief songwriter and leader of much loved Brit-soul sensations Mamas Gun. He’s also clocked up a plethora of song writing collaborations with legends such as Rod Temperton and Brian Jackson, as well as writing songs for the forthcoming album of rising UK soul star MT Jones for this forthcoming debut album and they both co-wrote the title track of the latest Take That album ‘This Life’ which went to number 1 in the UK charts.

Capital Stage Presents
I And You
by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Imani Mitchell
Special Limited Production

One afternoon, Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate Caroline’s door bearing a beat-up copy of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, an urgent assignment from their English teacher. Homebound due to illness, Caroline hasn’t been to school in months, but she is as quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. As these two let down their guards and share their secrets, this seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks a much deeper mystery that has brought them together. I and You is an ode to youth, life, love, and the strange beauty of human connectedness.
“…A validation of the human experience, and of the triumph of life over death. Gunderson’s gift is the best thing a play can offer: we might be better people after seeing it.” – DC THEATRE SCENE

While death metal is one of the darkest sub genres of music ever created, steeped in macabre imagery of blood and gore and delivered with guttural bellows and piercing squeals, it is not without its guiding lights or impassioned empowerment. ENTERPRISE EARTH, a band committed to the brutal audio onslaught and proficient excellence, carves out personal meaning from the darkness. They conjure self-determination and iconoclastic independence, from within the bowels of extremity.

Join the Sacramento Master Singers for A Master Singers Christmas, a cherished holiday tradition that has delighted audiences for decades.

The concert begins in reverent beauty with a candlelit processional, setting the tone for a concert rich in joy, wonder, and musical splendor. The choir will then surround the audience to perform Giovanni Gabrieli’s magnificent Plaudite, written for three choirs—an awe-inspiring sonic experience that fills the space from every corner.

The concert concludes in luminous peace, as the choir once again surrounds the audience with the moving strains of Peace, Peace, offering a heartfelt wish for harmony in the season and beyond.

ARTHOUSE on R  is proud to present the art exhibition “Above the Valley” at ARTHOUSE Gallery on historic R Street in Sacramento, December 13, 2025 - Jan 6, 2026.

Please join us as we feature original watercolors and giclee prints of Elaine Bowers’ work at ARTHOUSE on R Gallery, 1021 R Street in Sacramento. The opening reception is Saturday, December 13th from 5:00PM – 8:00PM.

Elaine Bowers made art as soon as she could hold a pencil. She worked as a graphic designer and art therapist while polishing her craft in watercolors, painting in a photo-realistic style. She loved the colors and textures of California’s landscape as observed from a plane. She photographed from a small plane and then painted her observations in her studio.

Elaine was awarded the Bronze Medal of Honor at the prestigious American Watercolor Society’s 146th International Exhibition in New York City. She was a “Signature Status” member of the American Watercolor Society (AWS) and the National Watercolor Society (NWS). Elaine’s art has been shown in several International Exhibitions and featured on several covers of Inside the City newspaper. Her art was used on the cover of the book “For Children Who Were Broken” by Elia Wise. Elaine was active her entire life in the struggle for Human Rights and the dog rescue movement.

Elaine passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in February of 2025. She leaves behind her partners, Bob Thompson and Bella Rose (a golden retriever rescued from the meat markets of China). Bob Thompson will be present for the Second Saturday reception.

This will probably be the final show of Elaine’s work. There are only a few original watercolors available. We hope you will visit ARTHOUSE and be touched by Elaine’s exquisite work.

In addition to the Gallery Show, ARTHOUSE resident artists will open their studios to the public for Second Saturday, December 13th, 5:00 - 8:00 PM.

“Richman is one of America’s most unique and dynamic songwriters…” – Nashville Scene

“Richman didn’t need much else besides a beat to work his magic.” – New York Daily News

“Rhymes worthy of Ogden Nash.” – The New York Times

“Richman has spent decades removing barriers between himself and his audience, cultivating an intimacy that is almost extinct in modern music.” - Nashville Scene

“The music we’re doing now works well in quiet places like theaters and performing art centers. We still don’t use a program or a set list so we don’t know what we’ll do until we do it. Please do not expect old songs. Many singers my age do a retrospective; this show is not like that. It’s mostly stuff made up in the last 3 and 4 years. Some of the songs presented might be in different languages; this is not to be esoteric or clever, it’s because the different languages help me express different feelings sometimes. One last thing, my idea of a good show has nothing to do with applause. It’s about if all the songs I sang that night were ones that I felt.” – Jonathan

Ever wonder what John Prine has to do with Christmas? Ever wished the beloved songwriter had more to do with sleigh bells, eggnog, and Old Saint Nick. Well, in 1994 Prine released his 11th LP titled, “A John Prine Christmas.” The critics didn’t acclaim it much, but with titles such as “Silent Night All Day Long ” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” it’s still Prine at his lovely wry best, bringing Christmas home.

We are proud to present “A John Prine Christmas” – a night of your favorite songs featuring folk troubadour and Prine scholar, Jenner Fox, with his all-star band. The evening will weave together Prine’s classic hits, his holiday themed songs, stories, and lots of singing along.
