A quartet of California soloists from LA and the Bay Area, plus friend Laena Myers sitting in to cap off the night. Four 30 min sets, some pals, and a very nice Thursday evening.

dognoises is the moniker of Los Angeles-based experimental musician Enzo Periera. His work combines contemporary songwriting with drone and ambient music, with an emphasis on extended song forms, minimalist production, and intricate storytelling.
June Youngblood is a songwriter with a unique voice. Her agile vocal melodies and earthy acoustic guitar playing are centered around strong lyrical narrative that might make you feel a sad but in a good way.
Drawing upon her background in classical guitar & art rock, Jas Stade blends whimsy & technicality into an ever-shifting sonic landscape. Smoke & Mirrors, Jas’ debut album set to release June 13, promises to be a textural delight for the world of guitar music. Recorded to 1/4 inch tape in the woods of West Marin, Smoke & Mirrors is meditative, tongue in cheek, and best enjoyed late at night.
Cole Berliner is a guitarist and composer originally from San Francisco, CA, now living in Los Angeles. His work draws upon a wide range of influences, which permeate the multi-genre stylings of his music. Though recognized as one half of California band Sharpie Smile (formerly Kamikaze Palm Tree), Cole has also been involved in numerous other projects and toured extensively as a session musician. He now embarks on an exploration of solo material, which is experimental by design, shape-shifting based on the setting in which the music is presented, be it either live or in the studio. He is joined by violinist and multi-instrumentalist / songwriter Laena Myers.
