Lending his own touch to world famous songs Rusty honors the Man in Black with soulful honesty and exuberance.

A VERY special evening with Scott Law Electric

Consummate musician and songwriter, Scott Law embodies the ideal of the steel-string guitar master. This Portland, Oregon-based string-bender is widely known by audiences and fellow musicians alike for his original tunes, articulate phrasing, killer tone and knack for raising the energy level and musicality of any collaboration. Besides his work as a bandleader, career highlights include being chosen by bassist Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead to play Jerry Garcia’s “Wolf” guitar at a Red Rocks Amphitheater benefit event, his longtime stage and songwriting partnerships with The String Cheese Incident and his association with legendary fiddler, Darol Anger.

The Trio is:
Scott Law
Dennis Smith on Bass
Michael Pinkham (New Monsoon) on drums

This is a FREE show – we do not charge a cover for our shows!

Wednesday May 15th

Lonesome Holler String Band

The Lonesome Holler String Band is genre master Evan Morgan on guitar, old-time tradition guru Steve Wharton on banjos and autoharp, virtuoso extraordinaire Chris Carney on fiddle and mandolin, and stalwart stand out on stand up bass Sue Walters–and they all sing real good too. Lonesome Holler is dedicated to preserving and playing the Southern rural music of the 1920s, 30s and 40s. They’re a fine bunch of talented folks who have a great time playing together and resurrecting some timeless old music that stirs the spirit and feeds the soul. And you can’t keep ‘em down. They’ve played all over California and points East at festivals, winerys, clubs bars, parties–just about anywhere real people have a hankering for some real traditional old time music, played by some of the best around. Come out and have a listen. It’ll do you good.

Wednesday May 22nd

Gary Gates Band

Aside from Neil Young, there is no brighter star in the famed West Coast hamlet of La Honda than Gary Gates. A veteran of the Bay Area music scene, Gary has been playing “jam band” music longer than the moniker has existed. The Gary Gates Band plays uplifting and danceable,
Roots Rock and Island Vibe music of Love, Spirit, Community and Personal Enrichment.
Gary`s original songs and popular covers include solid grooves, catchy tunes, and extended jams that take the audience on lively musical journeys.
In 1976, Gary toured as the opening act for Neil’s legendary Northern California Bar Tour. As a member of the popular Loma Mar Store Band, later Rhythm Method, and now fronting a band of his own name, Gary has picked up more and more fans and admirees over the decades.
Yet wider-spread stardom has eluded Gary, possibly because of his frequent “staycations” in Hawaii and Thailand. Regardless, the Gary Gates Band is arguably today’s Bay Area’s hottest unsigned jam band.

Wednesday May 29th

Rattlebox featuring Barry Sless, Lorin Rowan, & Doug Harmon

The music of ‘Rattlebox’ features Lorin Rowan’s finger pickin’ acoustic roots/Americana in folk/rock and world music, complementing his clear tenor vocal, backed by fellow musicians; Barry Sless, steel guitar extraordinaire, from the David Nelson Band,Phil Lesh & Friends and Moonalice;
and cellist virtuoso, Doug Harman (Norton Buffalo, Alex DeGrassi,Susan Cianni) . The combination of these musicians and their unique instrumentation, together create a fresh, exciting sound with powerful melodies and intriguing lyrics, as well as acoustic ‘jam band’ interludes.

June 1, 2013

On June 1st, our favorite doggie in the whole wide world, Casey Jones Altman, turns 15 and we are throwing him a party like no other!
We are having a very special commemorative imperial (20 oz) pub pint glass made for this occasion – perfect for pouring a pint of Casey Jones Imperial Ale at home. A portion of the sale of the glasses will be donated to Casey’s favorite charity, TBD.
More details to come, follow us on Facebook & Twitter for more updates as we get closer to the big date!

Everyone wants to do the right thing for wildlife… WildCare is here to help! They are located in downtown San Rafael, California — Marin County’s largest city — making them a truly urban wildlife rehabilitation center.

WildCare works to make sure all species can coexist– not just by treating sick or injured animals (over 3,000 of them a year), but also by teaching people how to live peacefully with wildlife and by advocating for better protection of wildlife and our remaining open spaces.

In addition to operating their wildlife rehabilitation hospital, they also provide numerous other resources to the local and larger community. Their Living with Wildlife Hotline is available any time of day or night to help anyone deal safely with the wildlife they encounter. They’ve also been a leader in developing new and innovative ways to address problem wildlife issues humanely. And when wildlife needs us to advocate on its behalf, they take a stand. All these activities help foster an understanding of and appreciation for wildlife in all people.

San Anselmo Cooperative Nursery School

Founded originally in 1947 as the Fairfax Community Nursery School, the San Anselmo Co-Op is celebrating its 65th year in operation. Except for the faces of the children and their parents, since then little has changed. The goal of the preschool is to foster physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual growth in each child. The school provides a unique experience for families who wish to be involved in their children’s education and learn alongside them. By sharing parenting issues, insights, joys and struggles, parents gain a sense of community with one another and a greater understanding of their own child’s development. Through their participation, parents create the kind of school they desire for their children. Their many talents, strengths and interests provide the energy that fuels the school. By relying on parent ingenuity, teamwork and labor, we keep fees low and the school available to a wide spectrum of people. Find out more at www.sananselmocoop.com.

We are pleased to be the Marin outpost for such an amazing Bay Area week long musical event. The Lonesome Holler String Band is genre master Evan Morgan on guitar, old-time tradition guru Steve Wharton on banjos and autoharp, virtuoso extraordinaire Chris Carney on fiddle and mandolin, and stalwart stand out on stand up bass Sue Walters–and they all sing real good too. Lonesome Holler is dedicated to preserving and playing the Southern rural music of the 1920s, 30s and 40s. They’re a fine bunch of talented folks who have a great time playing together and resurrecting some timeless old music that stirs the spirit and feeds the soul. And you can’t keep ‘em down. They’ve played all over California and points East at festivals, winerys, clubs bars, parties–just about anywhere real people have a hankering for some real traditional old time music, played by some of the best around. Come out and have a listen. It’ll do you good.. http://www.sfbluegrass.org/

Rusty Evans & Ring Of Fire – The Worlds Finest Johnny Cash Tribute

Rockabilly Hall of Famer, Rusty Evans and his band Ring of Fire have been burning up the California festival circuit with his rollicking tribute to country music icon Johnny Cash.
With a voice of rolling thunder and a spirit like gentle rain Rusty has been wowing audiences from Nashville to San Francisco with his stunning tribute to the “Man In Black”. His weighted drawl doles out molasses-coated syllables, putting an upbeat spin on less than optimistic situations. Lending his own touch to world famous songs Rusty honors the Man in Black with soulful honesty and exuberance. Driving rhythms on his amplified acoustic Martin guitar are augmented by his energetic three-piece band Ring of Fire. A hot rockin’ lead guitar, driving bass and drums create the powerful and irresistible Johnny Cash signature sound, a pulse that drives folks right to the dance floor. People often comment on how much Rusty actually looks like the Man in Black. He’s honored by the compliment and destined to continue in the spirit of the country music legend he holds in such high regard. When asked how he first came to sing with such conviction the songs of Johnny Cash, Rusty replies, “I met the Man in Black in the 1960′s and was totally inspired, not to mention that Bob Dylan once told me long ago I sounded like Cash.”
Early musical endeavors include performing on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, touring with the New Christy Minstrels, working with renowned producer Phil Spector and producing/recording for CBS, Reprise and Folkway records. Rusty has performed for many Las Vegas and Native American Casinos, Performing Arts Centers, fairs, festivals, corporate events, private parties, and rodeos all over the world.

We’ll see you at the pub!

Josh Mcintosh

Josh McIntosh began performing original songs in San Francisco in 1992 at the age of 19. In the years following, he started an acoustic duo called Blew Willie and started performing at cafes and small venues all over the city. By 1996 Blew Willie had picked up a rhythm section and was operating as a four piece throughout Northern California. With Josh’s powerful vocals and lightning fast acoustic guitar work, the band quickly developed a loyal fan base. Throughout the late 90′s (having become a full six piece band), Blew Willie toured the western US delivering three hour sets and earning return spots at the High Sierra Music Festival, H.O.R.D.E, Marin Summer Music Festival, and headlining venues like Slims, House of Blues (Hollywood), and The Great American Music Hall. The music that come out of those years was featured in a full length motion picture (Around The Fire), used as the theme for the Woodstock reunion concert “A Day In The Garden,” and received airplay on college radio as well as AAA stations like San Francisco’s KFOG and Flagstaff AZ’s The Eagle. http://www.facebook.com/joshmcintoshmusic
