- Come out Saturday to Felton Music Hall to check out what the talented young musicians at Be Natural Music have to show you at their annual Halloween show.
- You don’t usually hear the terms “queer dance party” and “museum” in the same breath, but here it is: The MAH in Santa Cruz is hosting “MAHjesty,” a wild show sure to be full of surprises.
- Talk about your musical Frankenstein’s monster – as its name implies, Steely Dead slams together the legacies of Steely Dan and the Grateful Dead.
