Michael Gaither & His New Best Friends

Michael Gaither and His New Best Friends backs Michael’s Americana originals and mixes in fun covers from the likes of Tom Petty, The Band, and Little Feat. They’ll be in trio mode at Discretion Brewing, with Michael on vocals, guitar, and banjo, Eliza James on harmony vocals, and Joe Bac on lead guitar.

A California native, Michael takes the “write what you know” idea to heart, crafting songs that showcase both the nostalgia of small-town life and the foibles of modern technology, always with plenty of humor in the mix. He turned to songwriting after a background in journalism and a narrow brush with standup comedy. He recently released his fourth studio album, Hey Karma, which is getting plenty of airplay on local and international radio.

“Gaither’s sense of humor and keen observation of the human experience preside over his clever Americana originals.”(Amanda Martinez, Good Times Santa Cruz).

On Love Mondays we recognize and encourage local groups doing extraordinary things and make a donation to support their cause! Join us on June 10th, when our featured non-profit will be Wings Homeless Advocacy, a group of caring advocates from our community who are dedicated to supporting individuals in their walk out of homelessness.

Flypaper Blues

Santa Cruz based Americana band Flypaper Blues is straight out of your grandfather’s rifle barrel. A little whiskey, coffee grinds, 2-in-1 oil and whole lot of fiddle. Driving drums, bass rhythms. This 100% homegrown, local band brings influences from traditional bluegrass, post punk, ragtime, to alt-county genres. Songwriting is personal, comedic, and inspired by the existential need to transcend the hazards and pitfalls of modern life with soul nourishing music.

6:30pm

PNP (Perry, Navaroli, Potter) – Soulful jazz standards, funk, and popular hits with free flowing improvisation.

PNP is the trio of Zen Perry (Drums), Ryan Navaroli (Alto Saxophone), and Will Potter (Piano). All three are established local musicians with a passion for jazz and improvisation.

Navaroli, an experienced Alto Saxophonist, began performing at an early age before being noticed at local music venues throughout Santa Cruz County. Among a few side projects, he currently performs regularly (with Perry) throughout Northern California with known singer/songwriter Lauren Wahl & her band “Simply Put.” He is a consistent soloist and well versed in a variety of genres.

Potter, a well versed piano player, also began playing early on learning complex classical pieces. He brings a wide background of genres from working with long time mentor David Long and has established himself as a jazz pianist within the Bay Area.

Perry, is a professional drummer in Santa Cruz who regularly performs with a variety of local acts. After finishing his music degree in Los Angeles, he has established a name for himself as a prolific drummer and instructor in the area. With PNP, he hopes to deliver a jazz performance that will liven the rich jazz community that Santa Cruz has to offer.

Audiences can expect a soulful evening of jazz standards from Dave Brubeck’s Take Five to some free flowing improvisation in more popular hits such as The Beatle’s Hey Jude or Yesterday.
