STEVE TAYLOR 

With a sound steeped in the sunlit tones of Laurel Canyon, the mid 60’s pop and R&B of the Brill Building, and the lo-fi synths of early prog rock, Oakland resident Steve Taylor makes heartfelt soul music that pushes the envelope of the singer/songwriter genre. A multi-instrumentalist with a surprisingly diverse background, including stints in black gospel churches, avant-garde psych-rock bands, and most recently as the keyboardist in Brushfire Records band Rogue Wave; he layers vintage organs, pianos, analog synthesizers, and dead drums, creating a sound that’s both modern and thoroughly informed by 70’s AM rock.

DAMADA

damada is a true musical child of two cultures, the melodies of china mixed with the improvisations of america. reharmonized chinese songs from folkloric, pop, and eastern opera styles mixed with instrumentation and musical dialogue from american sources and beyond, this is a uniquely accessible, exotic, and fresh take on the cultures bridged by the grand pacific.

Band is a three-piece with Lourdana, the singer, who is from mainland China; and her husband is an amazing guitarist and composer/arranger, Marc Schmitz. Dave Mihaly plays drums and Asian percussion.

EVER ISLES

San Francisco based dream folk duo, Kaitlyn Smith & Jeremy Harris

DEVOTIONALS

Prayers.ruminations...plain existence. Devotionals is only a moniker set to represent the thing we all do upon our awakening. It is a statement of existence, and the rumination on the "how to" of the everyday breathe.

The band is Tyson Vogel (Two Gallants), Anton Patzner (Judgment Day), Jeff Blair, and sometimes includes Andrew Maguire (Honeycomb), Emily Ritz (Honeycomb), & Lewis Patzner (Judgement Day). Based around the guitar compositions of the Tyson, Anton invigorates the space with his inspired form of violin mastery and intuition, Jeff percussive sensitivity and heart. Giving a nod of reverence to what has come before in forms of Rachmaninov to John Fahey, to the unknown echos of the street musician, these songs, in form mostly instrumental, represent only the beat of the heart, and the ache to understand.

CHASING THE MOON
Chasing the Moon is a monthly local music video podcast that is celebrated with a live show and screening of the new episode on the full moon each month. See past episodes and the current one of Thao & Mirah, at http://chasingthemoon.pdcst.com

From http://www.farmersalmanac.com/full-moon-names/ about the Full Beaver Moon of November: "This was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter. It is sometimes also referred to as the Frosty Moon."
