Music Heals

Music heals. 

We hope to see you soon! 

Band members will be switching about a bit. As we have a "family first" policy in the band. 

Thanks to everyone who is supporting my effort to play the Global Citizen Festival in NYC. Please remember you can vote once every 24 hours for free, or choose to make a donation. The next cut off is Thursday. If you plan to make a donation, watch for the 2x promos in the campaign.

Happy Summer Solstice!

Happy Summer Solstice! The word "solstice" comes from the Latin words "sol" for sun and "stitium" which can mean "pause" or "stop." The solstice is the end of the sun's annual march higher in the sky, when it makes its longest, highest arc. The sun then starts retreating; days will get a little shorter every day until late December.

Thanks again to everyone who is voting and or donating to Global Citizen to give us an opportunity to play Central Park! I really appreciate your support.

Thanks!

Couple Things...

Bear with me as I align all my social media. I'll get to the heading of my email newsletter by end of next week.

Juneteenth - it's a celebration and a reminder of how much work we need to do as a society until everyone has freedom to just be who they are and want to be. Some folks want to keep some of us subjugated. Hope I spelled/used that correctly.

Next Global Citizen cutoff is to the top ten. Thanks to all supporting. 

 

Second Saturday Saloon Recap | Global Citizen Festival Contest Fundraiser

First things first: 

Thanks to everyone who joined us this past Saturday at the world famous Saloon in San Francisco! 

It was fun walking around a bit the old 'hood before the gig, taking in the sights, sounds and flavors of the North Beach Festival!

The band was kickin' and the audience was appreciative, so it was a good day for us. 

I demonstrated my love for our democracy by adding a "no" between "Like" and "Kings" on our sign, and with a few stripes of black photo tape over my shirt, made it personal. 

Hey, we do what we can. 

We will be back on the Second Saturday in July, with Roy Blumenfeld on the drum throne. 

Global Citizen Festival Contest

As you may already be aware, I entered this contest/ fundraiser, so if you believe as I do that we truly are a global society, I would be grateful for your support.

Saturday, June 14th in San Francisco, Global Citizen Festival Voting/Fundraising Campaign.

Hey Everybody! 

Let's have some fun! This Saturday, June 14th, is the next installment of our 2nd Saturday afternoon residency at the infamous Saloon at 1232 Grant Avenue in San Francisco at 4 - 8 pm.

Take note: it's in the midst of the super fun North Beach Festival, which means that there are 3 bands on each day of the weekend! So fun. I feel so lucky to be playing during this time. It's always a blast. 

The lineup in The Saloon on Saturday: 

 "Saxy Susan" Copperman 12-4

Mari Mack & LLK (that's us) 4 - 8 

Delta Wires at 9:30 pm

Global Citizen Festival Voting/Fundraising campaign: 

We are still in the game for this event. You can vote once a day for free, or make a donation. 

It seems there are a lot of artists signed up for this, because I've seen a few on my social media feeds!   

Thanks so much to everyone who is voting to keep me in it - this seems to be the big fundraiser for Global Citizen as well as a really creative way to help people discover artists and bands they wouldn't otherwise find. 

That's all I have for now, doing my best to stay hopeful and create some joy in these challenging times. May you do the same. 

Sending love ❤️ 

Ox,

Soulful Sendoff, Second Saturdays and...

Hey Everybody!

The Saloon hosted a soulful send-off for our dear friend Willie Riser on Wednesday night. The room was full of love and respect for a fine musician and a kind soul. Many tears and hugs, lots of music and memories were shared. Such a sweet and loving community. ❤️ 

I will be back at The Saloon with Mari Mack & Livin' Like Kings on Saturday, June 14th fron 4 - 8 pm. North Beach Festival, baby! Please plan accordingly, as some streets are blocked off.  It's always a good time in my favorite San Francisco neighborhood. 

Global Citizen Festival Update: 

Thank you to everyone who helped us advance to the next level in the Global Citizen Festival contest! 

Happy to report that we have advanced to the Top 20. It's nice to be shocked in a good way for a change. 

Voting continues through June 12th at 7 pm PDT for the phase. 

Anyone can vote once every 24 hours for free, or make a donation for more votes. We have to stay in the top 15 to get to the next level, so please vote and share with friends. Currently in 5th place, but I've learned to take nothing for granted.

Trying not to get my hopes up too high, but I sure would love to get this gig. It would mean so much! 

In the meantime, be kind to yourself and let your love flow out into the world. 

Ox,
