Every month we gather with our local heroic environmental stewards of TreePeople to love on live music and hot tea along a ridge trail of the Santa Monica Mountains. Once we’ve held time together to share in meaningful art, warm tea, (sometimes) a sunset, and good conversation, TreePeople’s eco educators then split us into three different hiking groups for peoples of all ages and abilities to learn more about the native ecology and history of these mountains.

For our final moonlight hike of this winter, our dear friend Aaron Shaw will be sitting in to soundtrack moonrise with some of the finest melodious woodwinding that LA has to offer. A student of the spirit (and a rigorous education), Aaron Shaw has steadily become one of LA’s sweetest and most in demand players, sharing sounds city-wide alongside artists like Saul Williams, Carlos Niño, Herbie Hancock, Anderson .Paak, Kamasi Washington, and Tyler, The Creator. For many years now he and his brother have been playing, recording, touring, and composing as Black Nile, and this week we finally receive the long awaited debut album of Aaron Shaw as bandleader via our Leaving Records family.

Bring a blanket, pour some tea, and bliss in.

Check-in begins at 6:30pm, music shortly after 7pm, and we split into our hiking groups promptly at 8pm. Parking is limited so we ask that you please rsvp with us in advance.
