If Funkadelic and Thievery Corporation had a bastard love child that grew up listening to Pink Floyd, their new favorite band would be Bionic Squid. With this funky instrumental quartet, every show is a psychedelic dance party. Soaring guitars and keyboards swim through a cascading soundscape over driving grooves from drums and bass. With a mix of original jams and covers, Bionic Squid will take you on a voyage to the depths and keep you dancing like an octopus hailing a taxi.  

Bionic Squid is Pete Novembre, Mike Johnson, Josh Salesin, and Bret Bailey.

Animal Shelter Relief is coming back to our Beer Garden! Grab a beer, meet adorable adoptable animals, and learn about what ASR does to help our local furry friends. Stay for live jazz from 3-5pm by the Jenny O’Leary Quartet.

ASR is an all-volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)(3) animal rescue based in Santa Cruz, CA. Their mission is to relieve overcrowded animal shelters through rescue, thereby reducing euthanasia.

Formed in 2008, Amy Strickland along with 2 former co-workers from the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter started Animal Shelter Relief rescue, the ONLY local animal rescue focusing on cats and special needs animals, that existed at the time. The founders knew what help was needed at the County Animal Shelter and formed a rescue to meet those needs and relieve the overcrowding.

Sunny Raye’s roots stretch from Los Angeles to the Bay Area, where music has been part of her life from the very beginning. Her dad, a jazz pianist, introduced her to jazz; her mom shared a love of soul and R&B; and her family’s deep appreciation for The Beatles shaped her ear for melody and harmony. These influences live in everything she plays.

Performing since childhood, Sunny began singing alongside her dad as “Sunny & Pops,” playing restaurants, weddings, and private events before branching out as a solo artist. Today she is known for her soulful voice and expressive acoustic guitar playing, drawing inspiration from Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Norah Jones, Jason Mraz, and modern pop.

Sunny has released original music, including her 2021 EP Songs from the Beginning, but her true passion lies in creating meaningful live music experiences. Whether performing at a neighborhood restaurant or private celebration, she brings warmth, professionalism, and genuine connection to every room she plays.
