Cubed: Saturday, September 11th, 11:00am-12:30pm
In 2017, keyboardist Nataan Hong, drummer Ezra Rosen and guitarist Harrison Saltzman came together to form the rock band Cubed. The band started as a classic rock cover band and soon was writing and recording original music. From their start at age 11, until today at 14, these talented musicians have played venues across the Bay Area and shared the marquee with such renowned musicians as Neal Schon of Journey, Sammy Hagar and Eddie Money. In 2019 Cubed won Silicon Valley's Battle of the Bands. They are thrilled to be back onstage doing what they love most.

Matt Jaffe & Band: Saturday, September 11th, 1:00pm-2:30pm
After cutting his teeth on open mics around the Bay Area, San Francisco songwriter Matt Jaffe was discovered by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads. Together, they produced his first album at the age of 16, cementing Matt's dedication to music. Soon, he formed a band, dropped out of college, and has not looked back. Since then, Matt has written more songs than he can remember the words to, crisscrossed the country opening for Mavis Staples and Wilco, and co-written with Tom Higgenson of the Plain White T's. Inspired by the great lineage of rock n' roll, he marries literary lyrics with the undeniable urge to dance. Having suffered from seizures since 2015, Matt also uses his music to unite local and national epilepsy communities. Matt is currently rolling out his fourth and fifth albums, Undertoad and Kintsugi. www.mattjaffemusic.com

Mark Karan: Sunday, September 12th, 3:00pm-4:30pm
Mark Karan sometimes describes himself as "sort of a male Bonnie Raitt filtered through a psychedelic blender". A modern day classic, Karan oozes passion and rock and roll spirit, presenting his music in creative ways that make folks perk up, dance... and maybe even think a bit after the shufflin’s done.
Best known for his extended time around the Grateful Dead scene as lead guitarist for Bob Weir & Ratdog, Mark is far more than his time in the "land of the Dead" might imply... a consummate team player for many years, his six-string contributions have added something special to tours with Ratdog, The Other Ones, Delaney Bramlett, Dave Mason and Paul Carrack... and as a "value added" guest for impromptu sit-ins with the Allman Brothers, Trey Anastasio, Gov't Mule, Jackie Greene, ALO, Levon Helm, Chuck Leavell, Little Feat, Phil and Friends and many more. www.markkaran.com
