Janam in Grass Valley & @ Yoshi's Lounge

[Juliana Graffagna]

Hello friends,
    We wanted to let you know we'll be heading to Grass Valley on April 9 for a show at the historic St. Joseph's Cultural Center, a truly lovely spot. Please spread the word to your friends in that neck of the woods and heck, why not take a little road trip yourselves? Grass Valley is beautiful and I hear they even have sunshine...
    We're also super excited to be playing at Yoshi's Lounge on April 13 with the incredible Brass Menazeri Balkan Brass Band, led by Janam's own Peter Jaques. Hope to see you all!
