"Captain Flapjack blends the genres of pop, punk, and progressive rock, while occasionally paying homage to their soft rock roots."
Conspiracy of Venus is the vocal ensemble I've been in going on 20 years!
We sing PJ Harvey, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, George Harrison, Tom Waits, and sometimes songs by local artists.

For hanging out beyond this show, here are my ONGOING INVITES:
These classes are staples for me.
I'm always THRILLED for people to try them out!
It's one of my favorite ways to hang-out!
They're on zoom or in-person.
Feldenkrais (for rest and recovery, pain relief, and repatterning) with Carolyn is Wednesdays at noon at ODC, on zoom at 6pm, and on Saturdays zoom 10-11am. Also Thursdays at noon.
Email with questions.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) class with Newt Bailey from Communication Dojo is on Tuesday nights at 308 Page St. @ Laguna next to the SF Zen Center. 7-9pm. I assist most weeks. Info at https://www.communicationdojo.com - or email with questions. Also Monday nights on Zoom 7-9pm!
ALSO ONGOING:
is the Mixtape for Palestine with over 90 artists!
Sadly still relevant two years later, as we knew it would be.

Dear Friends,
Saturday is Winter Solstice Eve!
What does that mean to you?
I'm seeing it as a renewed start, an emergence into our new selves, with the lessons of the past.
And for this show, I am happy to have a community gathering, which I feel is especially important at this time on the planet.
With music! 😅
Please join me at this early show, where I'll be singing with Conspiracy of Venus.
(I also booked the show & love the Make-Out Room, so your attendance is extra appreciated!) :)
