Suzanne Cornelius and I are playing at the Cork And Fork with Brent Pierce tonight, 6 to 9. This is a fun venue in Capitola with inside and outside seating just a few blocks from the beach. It is a beautiful night without the usual tourist crowds. Come have a beverage and some light fare and enjoy the music!

Yummm.....

The Great Room is the world headquarters of The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers. When we aren't playing music or hosting house concerts and workshops at the Great Room, Suzanne is often perfecting her special recipies like this braided challah bread with black sesame seeds. I hope that this recipe shows up at one of our 'dinner with the band" events.

This Saturday night 11/2 -- singer-songwriter Johnsmith in concert at The Great Room:

"John plays and sings so well you almost don't notice how good his songs are. It's all there, and he's this nice regular guy you want to hang out with. Watch out, his music will sneak up on you."
~Tim O’Brien

"I don't know who this Johnsmith guy is. But after his album crossed my desk I feel like I do. Its heartfelt, well-written songs casually slipped into my CD player and didn't want to leave .. They mirror life, and are sung by a voice so comfortable with them that they seem like old friends' stories that you've lived too. "
~John Porter, Performing Songwriter

Dinner is sold out but concert seating is available -- see www.TheGr8Room.com for details and to reserve your spot! Concert at 8 pm; $20 per person.

We are delighted to welcome Johnsmith, one of those artists so often under-recognized – he possesses a genius that cannot be denied, ignored, or overlooked. For the past thirty-plus years, Johnsmith has been sharing his music all across America and abroad. He has become a favorite at festivals, clubs, and house concerts alike. In addition to being a Kerrville New Folk Winner, Johnsmith has released eight solo CDs to rave reviews, leads musical tours to Ireland, teaches songwriting, and has served as a staff songwriter in Nashville.

With his faded jeans, twinkly blue eyes, and infectious smile, John immediately connects with audiences. You get the sense of a man who loves his life, his family and friends, and who loves nothing more than sharing that love in song and stories all across this land.

Saturday, Nov 2, 2019, 8 pm Doors open 7 pm, optional dinner with the artist by reservation only at 6:30 pm. Complete details at TheGr8Room.com
