This Friday, we do both of those in one fell swoop as we present <a href=\"http:\/\/danahubbard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dana Hubbard<\/a>, one of my favorite nomads. He and I met a few years ago at the American River Music Festival and became instant pals.<\/p>\n<p>Dana&#8217;s a lifelong working musician. He fronted many blues bands throughout the &#8217;80s. When the club and corporate scene faded, he took to the road in his RV and has been a solo performer ever since. <!--more-->A few of the accolades he&#8217;s rounded up include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1st Place Winner &#8211; 2010 Ashland Blues Society&#8217;s Road to the IBC  Solo\/Duo Category<\/li>\n<li>1st Place Winner &#8211; 2009 Telluride Blues &#038; Brews Festival  Acoustic Blues Competition<\/li>\n<li>1st Place Winner &#8211; 2009 Indie International Songwriting Contest Folk\/Acoustic<\/li>\n<li>2nd Place Winner &#8211; 2009 Utah State Instrumental Championships Fingerstyle <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/danahubbard.com\/photos.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/guitar-close-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"guitar close\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/guitar-close-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/guitar-close.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b><a href=\"http:\/\/danahubbard.com\/photos.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click for more Dana Hubbard photos<\/a><\/b><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Dana&#8217;s originally from the Central Coast, and he&#8217;s Berkeley-based these days. Interesting thing is that although he&#8217;s from the area, he&#8217;s never done a show here, so Friday will also be a debut of sorts. If you&#8217;ve been to a show at the cultural center, you know the drill: An intimate little venue, great acoustics, and snacks at the ready courtesy of my wife Cyn. <\/p>\n<p>Doors open at 7:00 pm. Show starts at 7:30 pm. Sliding scale (suggested donation) $10-$20. The Corralitos Cultural Center is at 129 Hames Road in Watsonville. Hope you can join us. It&#8217;s going to be a way fun evening. <a href=\"mailto:michael@michaelgaither.com\">Shoot me an email<\/a> if you&#8217;d like to reserve  your seats in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Proceeds from these shows partially support the cultural center, too.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelgaither.com%2Fhome%2Fdana-hubbard-debuts-in-corralitos-and-its-long-overdue%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=800&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:800px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been hosting our Corralitos Cultural Center Music Series for about a year and a half, and it&#8217;s been a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-event"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2433"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3075,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2433\/revisions\/3075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
