Friends!

We apologize for the last minute nature of this announcement, but very much hope that you can share a moment of your Sunday to join us in Pasadena underneath the olive trees for a performance with Carlos Niño & Friends featuring Saul Williams, Maia the Artiste, Nate Mercereau, Aaron Shaw, Andres Renteria, Annelise Niño, Leon Mobley, and Francesca Heart. Andrea Jimenez of Herb Club LA will also be making and vending tea this evening!

It’s been one year to the day since our Fire Aid Fundraiser with Leaving Records, where we held 24 incredible solar powered performances in just under 5 hours, and setting the tone for the day was an invocation by this very same ensemble of friends (with this weekend’s addition of Francesca). We recorded that performance with Mobius Acoustics, it’s out now with Leaving, and before both Saul and Francesca leave Los Angeles we’d like to gather one more time to share breath, gratitude for collective resilience, and support a meaningful community-led garden that’s devoted hundreds of hours to post-fire recovery initiatives from soil remediation workshops to working groups of our Altadena neighbors to being a community distribution site for any immediate needs.

This is an intimate gathering. Out of respect for the garden please rsvp with us in advance, you’ll receive the location via email, a % of ticket sales go back towards supporting the incredible work of this hard fought public green space, and once we’ve reached capacity we won’t be able to accept any walkups.
