Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Jeff Troiano has been a long-time Californian singer, songwriter, and guitarist. After moving away to College, Jeff started out by learning six chords on the guitar and sang Neil Young’s moody “Last Trip to Tulsa” over and over again, but of course, there was a red knit cap over the light fixture in Jeff’s dorm room for ambiance.

After many adventures, Jeff graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Spanish Literature (and is still not sure how he pulled that off). While working in San Francisco, Jeff created his first record and has never looked back. Now he lives in Santa Rosa, where he grows things, sings songs, stares at the night sky, and feels very, very fortunate. I hope you do too. 

Listen to Jeff’s music for a sneak peek of what we will be enjoying.

Mike Rufo, David Johnson, Skot Christopherson and Brandon Watson are the Bay Area’s - No Exit

“Harmonies!  Michael Rufo and David Johnson are one half of the bay area’s Americana rock band, No Exit. The tightness of their vocal harmonies shine through and through, as do the intricacies of their guitar parts.

The duo’s well crafted originals blended with some tasty covers (Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game a particular highlight). [The audience] took an instant liking to the duo from their very first song (Dead Flowers) and stayed with them through both sets.”

Listen to her songs anywhere music is available.

Introducing Latchkey: “Like a Country Velvet Underground’s 3rd Album”

Pop-Up Dining details — Lasagne, Garden Salad, House baked sourdough bread, CHOCOLATE YUM WITH CREAM AND BERRIES. $25

Mixing elements from countrified soul, 70s AM radio, and four-part vocal harmony, and putting the results through a punk rock filter, Latchkey presents an invigorating twist on the Northern California festival vibe with a sound that’s been described as “a country Velvet Underground’s 3rd album.” Their debut recording, Backyard, showcases the dreamy, acoustic side of the group. They’re currently holed up at Temple Studio, working on recordings that show off their more raucous and electric side.

• Jen Martell is the youngest of a musical family, comfortable with styles from campfire drum circles to West African dance. The innate musicality and smoky alto voice of this percussion goddess, singer, and songwriter are the key to the Latchkey sound.

• Nicholas Petti came of age on the streets of New York City and the stages of CBGB and Max’s Kansas City, and later played with luminaries like Ryan Adams. He brings the twang with guitar, pedal steel, songwriting, and vocals.

• John Taylor is Latchkey’s special sauce. The wry guitar artistry and impassioned vocals of this St. Petersburg native add depth and detail to Latchkey’s songs; and like his Duran Duran name-alike, he’s a total babe.

• Todd Cinnamon began his career with Sacramento’s The Go, at age 14. Inspired by awkward unicorns, rainbows, and glitter, this multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter is mainly responsible for the beat, citing Ringo and Animal from The Muppets as his top influences.

• Peter Temple rounds out the five-piece. A Colorado transplant, this bassist and engineer has been providing the bottom end for local groups since the early 90s. In addition to laying the foundation for Latchkey, he also owns and operates Temple Studio, a full-service recording and live sound studio.

The band is platinum recording artist Bonnie Sims on mandolin (Bonnie & Taylor Sims, Everybody Loves an Outlaw, Bonnie and the Clydes), multi-genre musician Dr. Joy Adams on cello (Nathaniel Rateliff, Darol Anger, Half Pelican, Bruce Hornsby, Bobby McFerrin, Chick Corea, Ben Folds), Emma Rose on bass and guitar (Sound of Honey, Daniel Rodriguez, Whippoorwill, Courtney Hartman), and Eve Panning on fiddle (Lonesome Days, TEDx, Barrage, Hollywood Film Score Orchestra).
