We’ve been presenting shows at the Corralitos Cultural Center<\/a> since Spring of 2010, and things just keep getting better and better. Seems like every concert brings new folks who’ve never seen this hidden little gem of a venue before. It’s a sweet little room with great acoustics. It’s also been nice to be a part of something that’s regularly bringing acoustic music to south county. <\/p>\n

The charter of the series has always been to feature primarily – but not exclusively – singer\/songwriters. The shows are a mix of in-the-rounds with local songwriters and local bands, along with the occasional higher-profile shows such as we’re fortunate to have this Saturday. This one’s a co-bill featuring Cafe Musique *and* Joe Craven.<\/p>\n

Cafe Musique<\/a> is a five-piece band coming up from San Luis Obispo. They combine gypsy, classical, tango, and folk and back that up with wonderful vocals from their percussionist Piper Heisig. She’s joined in the band by Brynn Albanese on violin, Duane Inglish on accordion, Fred Murray on bass, and Craig Nuttycombe on guitar. <\/p>\n

I interviewed Duane and Brynn a few years ago in one of my early podcasts<\/a>, kept in touch, and was very happy to hear from them when they were looking for a place to land this weekend. More trivia: Brynn came from up down south last year to play violin on my “Starlite Drive-In Saturday Night”<\/a> CD, including a wonderful solo on a ballad called “Waltzes When She Runs”<\/a>.<\/p>\n
