Dear Friends,
���� Happy new year! We wish you a peaceful and restorative 2012. Come celebrate the new calendar with us at 2 terrific new monthly Balkan music events (making me love the Bay Area even more...): this Thursday, January 5 at El Valenciano in SF, opening for the superlative metal sounds of Brass Mena�eri; and January 19 for dancing and beers-a-plenty at the venerable Starry Plough in Berkeley.
��� We're also really excited about our Feb 4 house concert at the lovely & very intimate Webster Haven, so mark your calendars for that one for sure! Looking forward to seeing you out and about - it's going to be an amazing year.
Juliana, Peter, Tom, Gari and Dan

�An innovative ensemble that explores a dizzying range of styles, from Appalachia and Asia Minor to Eastern Europe. The quintet plays swirling, hard-driving music that always seems to end up in unexpected places.� SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
