Ukulenny - Three Performance Within One Week

Ukulenny performing at Hula Hoops Restaurant & Tiki Bar December 20, 2018

Within one week I have seen one musician in three different venue. I do not think I have ever seen one musician perform three different places with a week and I doubt I will ever do it again. I will still support musician as much as possible.

I saw Lendl San Jose aka Ukulenny perform at three places within a one-week span. I saw him perform December 14 at Market Beats at Public Market Emeryville, December 19 at Off the Grid in El Cerrito, and December 20 at Hula Hoops Restaurant & Tiki Bar in South San Francisco. I have driven far distance to watch this musician perform.

I manage to take photos and record a video at all three places. I was able to post the photos on Facebook and upload the videos on YouTube. Out of the three places that I saw Ukulenny perform all of the events were good! He did a terrific job at Market Beats, a fantastic job at Off the Grid El Cerrito, and an amazing performance at Hula Hoops. I enjoy going to all three places.

I will continue my effort to support Ukulenny by coming to his events. This man is a Bay Area Talent

Ukulenny Is Bay Area Talent

I got the chance to see Lendl San Jose aka Ukulenny perform at Off the Grid in El Cerrito on Wednesday, PaddleSplash in Alameda Saturday, and Off the Grid in Alameda with Robert Frazier (unexpected Bob and Lenny Show performance) on Saturday.

I saw this musician twice in one week. It was amazing that I was able to attend three of his performances within the same week. I am very supportive of his music and what he does for the audience when he performs.

Here is a musician that performs everywhere. He performs at the Oakland Airport, The Fireside Lounge, Barrelhouse, and Oakland Museum of California. He even tours out of state which is impressive. Solo or with a group this guy is amazing.

I have seen Lendl perform at Oakland Museum of California with Robert Frazier as the Bob and Lenny Show and seen him teach his Ukulele class at the Albany Community Center. He even did a Ukulele Jam at Albany Memorial Park which was amazing! What else can this guy do beside teach and perform?

The question that people want to know is how did I ever meet Lendl?

I had photos of an event honoring Oscar Penaranda at Bindlestiff Studio April 2013. Surprising I took a photo of Lendl reading Full Deck. What strange is that I did not remember if he did perform with his ukulele (He is Ukulenny!)

I will continue to see Lendl perform anywhere in the Bay Area.

Lily Holbrook at the Lost Church

Lily Holbrook performing at the Lost Church 09.10.18

I had a great time watching Lily Holbrook perform at the Lost Church in San Francisco on Monday. She had a great performance that people enjoyed watching. All of her performances that I have seen her has gotten better each time.

I found the Lost Church to be an interesting venue. I prefer it much better than Hotel Utah Saloon but a little smaller than Neck of the Woods. It was the first venue that I got to sit down to watch Lily perform. The only venue that I manage not to park on the street but at a parking garage.

I wish I was able to record Lily performance. She did a fantastic job on stage performing. I would had posted the video on Facebook and YouTube because it was a good performance. I found this venue to be a great place for Lily Holbrook to perform at.

I give Lily Holbrook performance at the Lost Church a five stars, two thumbs up, A+ good review. I have to be honest that Lily did a great performance which it gets better every time she performs no matter if she made a few mistakes she still can continue to pull it off.

La Gente Independence Day

My 4th of July was amazing! I attended the the worldOne Festival held at Cerrito Vista Park in El Cerrito. My friend Rafael Sarria and his band La Gente performed to a huge crowd. I will tell you that the crowd enjoyed their music. I have seen people dancing while they were performing. Never have I seen a crowd that got into the music.

I will tell you that I took so many photos it is not a joke. It was about over 300 photos that I have taken of La Gente. I did move around getting different angle of the band performing on stage. Most of the photos that I took had people’s head in the way.

I did enjoy watching La Gente perform. What I also enjoy was that I took so many pictures that I still want to continue my photography. I will confess it has been awhile since I gone to an event and taken a lot of pictures. I want to continue doing it if I can find an event in the Bay Area that isn’t a long commute. 

I will still support Rafael Sarria and La Gente music. Next time they perform I will do my best to attend it.

Three Amazing Musician(s) Within One Week

I have disappeared on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram for a while. As of late I been taking a sabbatical on social media due to work. Also, I do not know what to say anymore!

Within one week I have seen three musician(s) perform within three days. These musician(s) I have follow their music for the last few years and I do my best to attend their events. Of course, I have taken photo of them and I have posted it on Facebook and Instagram. The photos are the best ones that I have taken.

Tammy Byerly performing at Walnut Creek Farmer’s Market May 27, 2018

May 27th, I went down to Walnut Creek Farmer’s Market to see Tammy Byerly perform. I only stay there at least 25 minutes due to me being at work afterward. She did a good performance which I saw a few people that sat down to watch her sing. She was live on Twitch at the same time she was performing.

Bob and Lenny Show performing at Oakland Museum of California June 1, 2018

June 1st, I went down to the Oakland Museum of California after work to see Lendl San Jose and Robert Frazier, Bob and Lenny Show perform. It was a shocker for me because I inform them that I was not able to attend their performance but somehow, I manage to find a way to get out of work early and got straight down to Oakland to see them perform. Luckily, I was able to find parking and have Ceviche & Co for dinner.

Wesley Woo performing at Off the Grid Alameda June 2, 2018

June 2nd, I went down to Alameda South Shore Center to see Wesley Woo perform at Off the Grid. Originally it was supposed to be his band, Trace Repeat performing. Wesley did a good job going solo.

I have to admit I did a good job taking pictures of these great musician(s). It was good that I saw them perform. I been wanting to see them perform and I did find the time to watch them. Hopefully again I will see them perform.

Send Me Word When You Get Back

Jeremy Hatch Send Me Word When You Get Back

A blog dedicated to a musician that I been following since January 2014.

I got an advance copy of Jeremy Hatch album, “Send Me Word When You Back”. I manage to listen the entire album, every single song that was on the CD. It was a great album that Jeremy has produce. What I enjoy about this album was that it included a song book which had lyrics to the songs. It was a good extra that was included with the CD.

I met Jeremy Hatch when his band Borrowed Trouble perform at Off the Grid Concord January 2014 (I actually recorded a video of the performance). What I did not know was that he was already a solo artist before Borrowed Trouble. I found old YouTube videos floating around of his performance. He played with other musicians mostly instrumental.

I have follow his solo project on Facebook. On June 2016 he launch a Kickstarter to raise money to fund his album “Send Me Word When You Get Back”. Within one month it his Kickstarter reach its goal and people were still pledging.

I see Jeremy Hatch continue as a great musician. I enjoy his songs which could be included into a movie soundtrack. I am going to continue following his music and hopefully I can attend his performance. No doubt Jeremy Hatch is the musician to listen to.

Lily Holbrook, Music Sensation

Lily Holbrook performing at Hotel Utah Saloon March 15, 2018

 

I saw Lily Holbrook perform at Hotel Utah Saloon Thursday March 15. Her performance was an hour late due to a miscommunication with the place (details will not be mention). I enjoy watching her performance even though she only sang 3-4 songs under 30 minutes.

I enjoy coming out to see Lily perform. I am her biggest fan since 2014. I have follow her music, where she is performing, and her on Facebook/Instagram. I even pledge to her Kickstarter and Patreon. I am very supported of her music. My YouTube Channel and Facebook page has so many videos and photos of her. I guess I could be officially in charge of putting out her name on the internet.

I cannot wait for her two albums to come out in 2018. It been ten years since she has release an album. I know people who have seen her perform live will be excited to get her albums. Lily is the American Idol of San Francisco.

What to expect when her two albums come out? For sure she’ll be going on tour to promote her album and perform live across the country. I would love to see Neck of the Woods, Hotel Utah Saloon, or even Great American Music Hall to have her perform. A Lily Holbrook Appreciation concert is long overdue. Lily is a star and people love watching her perform. She’ll be on TV eventually because everybody would want to book her to perform.

Lily Holbrook music will continue to get people’s attention.

Golden Gate Gyro

Mixed Gyro

A food truck from Concord that serves gyros? You got to be kidding me. Where do people come up with a food truck that makes amazing gyros? Golden Gate Gyro is the truck that serves amazing gyro in the 925 area code.

I discover this small trailer at a Off the Grid market in Pittsburg 2017. I seen it at Off the Grid in Pleasant Hill, and Taste of the World in Walnut Creek and Orinda. I never tried them out until recently. I heard from other food vendors that Golden Gate Gyro has the best gyros compare to other food truck, GyroStop.  

I had the Mixed Gyro (Chicken and Lamb). I have to say this gyro was amazing. I just love how good my gyro was plus it was huge with lots of sauce which was alright with me. Luckily I did not make a mess while eating it.

I read their review on Yelp which was fantastic. Rarely anyone who ha their food gave the trailer a bad review. If they did give the trailer a bad review then they should have them again.

Golden Gate Gyro surely got a chance to be a successful food truck in the Bay Area. If you see them at Off the Grid, Taste of the World or Food Truck Mafia have them for lunch or dinner.

Cafe Pascal

I discover Café Pascal from watching a segment on KTVU 2 about how the owner of the building want to evict them due to a Starbucks being nearby. This café is off of Highway 580 in Richmond. It is a nice café that serves amazing breakfast and delicious lunch. I have gone to this place ever since I saw the segment in September 2017.

Does this café need to go away? No! I feel that this café deserves to stay in business. Just because there is a Starbucks nearby it will not affect anyone business. Starbucks has their café drinks and Café Pascal has food. I do not think two business should be conflicting with one another and that the owner of both buildings should allow both businesses to stay open.
