Doors open at 7pm and the event will go on into the night. It is going to be FUN!

Messing around

Oak Park Farmers Market - Sacramento 

Well, it is that time of the year again. The Oak Park Farmers Market in Sacramento! This is one of my favorite events to play at. There is a lot of stuff for kids to do (crafts, music, games). The vendors are mostly made up of local farmers and businesses. It is a great event for a date or to take the family.

I will be playing there on July 8th from 10am - 11:15am. Hope to see my Sacramento friends there!

Update for June 11 Performance 

Happy Friday! Just thought I would pop in with an update on Sunday's performance. I'm doing three songs. So are 13 other Sacramento musicians! It goes 4-830pm. $10 is the cover and dinner is included! I will go on around 5:55pm they say, but if you want to hear me, I suggest coming at 5 or so. Or, better yet, stay for the whole event and enjoy hearing other locals play!   Ok...commercial over

Changes by Mr.and Mrs. Valerio 

My wife and I wrote this song, CHANGES this weekend. She streamed the words in one take! We call that a "download". I only added six words to the end. I'm proud of Christa for coming up with these lyrics, they are heartfelt.
