It explores the interlocutors’ temporal encounters with ge ographies of checkpoints and prisons in Syria and Lebanon\, on one side\, a nd racialized borders of Europe\, on the other. This project investigates n arratives of what Rima Hammami calls “carceral geographies” as well as surviving checkpoints\, prisons\, and asylum journeys from Syria and Lebano n to Europe. The talk will focus on one of the book’s chapters\, which ex amines stories of navigating and surviving racialized borders as LGBTQ refu gees of color\, and how this experience is securitized and militarized\; it will also explore emotional labor and care as affective forms of protest w ithin the context of military carceral states in Syria and Lebanon as well as Europe’s “refugee crisis.”\n\nDr. Razan Ghazzawi \\(they/them/هي \\\\هن\\) is an award-winning human rights defender\, former political pr isoner\, and recovering blogger.

Over the last 20 years\, Allen Riley created dozens of interactive artw orks that explore mediated communication with youth and adults in venues in cluding performance spaces\, museums\, festivals\, and schools. He discusse s three recent projects that explore how large language models affect inter personal communication.\n\nThe first project is an imaginative storytelling game called Popcorn Movie in which players are constantly interrupted by L LM summaries as they attempt to co-create a story together. Next\, he adapt s the game into a satirical live performance titled Human Feedback in which an LLM facilitates a panel discussion among people who do not know what th ey are talking about. In a third iteration titled The Last Chat\, Riley rei magines the LLM as a social operating system.\n\nLanguage models are not gr ounded in the practical circumstances in which we use them. As a result\, t hey drift and hallucinate. When players hear an AI summary\, its semantic n oise becomes part of their shared reality\, and the story spirals in on its elf. Players navigate changing and often humorous conditions of coherence a nd confusion. He argues that this is an essential literacy for critical eng agement with LLMs. Allen Riley proposes an alternative way of thinking and playing with AI as a feedback channel for socially interactive creative pro jects that critically play with AI.\n\nAllen Riley is an artist and curator who specializes in socially interactive media. He designs hands-on learnin g pedagogy at Beam Center and builds arcade games as a form of public art w ith Arcade Commons. Riley’s artwork has been presented at the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, Slamdance Film Festival\, and the Museum of the Movi ng Image. He received an MFA in Electronic Integrated Arts from the New Yor k State College of Ceramics and is a PhD candidate in Film & Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz.\n\nThis event is presented by The Humanities Institute’ s ± AI Initiative URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/critical-play-with-large-language-models/ LOCATION:Humanities 1\, Room 206\, UCSC Humanities Lecture Hall\, 1156 High Street\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95064 GEO:36.979499;-122.053395 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:goodtimes-cityspark:bf9e7b2a15cbaf2fd9946d5c@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260602T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260602T130000 SUMMARY:POKEMON ART CONTEST FOR KIDS!

Once the clutter avalanche grows to a certa in level it can be very difficult to climb out of it alone.\n\nClutter’s effect on our lives is not neutral. Clutter causes chronic stress and chron ic stress causes and exacerbates chronic health problems. Clutter eats away at our time\, energy\, inner peace and potential for joy.

The simple fact of your holding a clear space and for me to be in that space is a huge and powerful gift for someone who is drowning in clutter! Like a life-raft to a drowning person. ” SEC\n\n“This is a practical\, solid introduction for anyone who wants to know more about how clutter impacts your life and how you can get start ed immediately on decluttering. I had previously started decluttering and g ot a bit derailed by life\; after this course\, I was able to do some declu ttering for 15 minutes\, which felt like a huge win after not being able to for several months. Megan's presentations always leave me with new insight s\, and she prioritizes treating her attendees with respect\, no matter whe re they are in their lives and no matter how cluttered their spaces are. I highly recommend carving out an hour of your time for this course!” Sarah Mehta\n\n“Megan has created a safe and encouraging place to begin declut tering in such a rewarding\, manageable and sustainable way.

At present\, that outfit is on hold\, due at least in part to fallout from a poorly-received joke Gass made concerning a certain widel y unpopular political figure. In any event\, his creative inclinations are too expansive for one project to hold. Featuring guitarists John Konesky (w ho’s also lead guitarist in Tenacious D) and Sean Gardner\, Gass’ acous tic trio presents a mix of songs from throughout Gass’ career\, along wit h some inspired choices of covers. A meet-and-greet follows the show.

This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in Californ ia as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (th e hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by en closing what should be held in common. Questioning the carceral and state-s ponsored productions of disability and accessibility\, the short films toge ther reveal the courage of people working despite limitations to produce co llective access for one another\, described simply and beautifully by disab ility justice activist Leah-Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha as “revolutionary love without charity.”\n\nThanh Tran\n\nDying in Prison\, 2022\n\nHD Vid eo (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\n\nCourtesy of the artist\n\nCarolyn Lazard\ n\nPre-Existing Condition\, 2019\n\nHD video (color\, sound)\, 6 minutes\n\ nCourtesy of the artist and Trautwein Herleth3\n\nAnthony Alejandrez\n\nAno ther Rainy Day\, 2023\n\nPhone video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\n\nCourtes y of the artist\n\nJordan Lord\n\nAfter…After… (Access)\, 2018\n\nHD Vi deo (color\, sound)\, 16 minutes\n\nCourtesy of the artist\n\nRahsaan “Ne w York” Thomas\n\nFriendly Signs\, 2023\n\nVideo (color\, sound) 21 minut es\n\nCourtesy of Tommy Wickerd\, Empowerment Ave & System Impact Media URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/visualizing-abolition-screening-series-be yond-access/2026-06-03/ LOCATION:Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, 100 Panetta Ave\, Santa Cruz\ , CA GEO:36.955794;-122.050555 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,ucsc,film STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:goodtimes-cityspark:6b9c02a24ea71b4974ae3795@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260603T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260603T130000 SUMMARY:POKEMON ART CONTEST FOR KIDS!

(CSE) – GPU Subgroup Semantics for Portable High-Perfor mance Kernels DESCRIPTION:Modern high-performance GPU kernels increasingly rely on subgro up-level execution\, including subgroup-level communication\, subgroup oper ations\, and matrix operations. These features are essential for workloads such as matrix multiplication and FlashAttention\, but their language-level guarantees remain difficult to reason about. Existing programming models o ften leave unclear which threads participate in subgroup operations\, when subgroup threads are required to execute together\, and what synchronizatio n is implied by subgroup-level operations. This ambiguity becomes especiall y important in portable GPU programming\, where the same kernel may run acr oss devices with different subgroup sizes\, compiler stacks\, browser backe nds\, and hardware execution behavior.\n\nMy research studies how precise s ubgroup semantics can support portable and correct high-performance GPU ker nels. SIMT-Step\, my main completed work\, develops a formal and flexible o perational semantics for GPU subgroup execution. It introduces dynamic bloc ks to specify converged subgroup execution and subgroup-operation participa tion\, classifies instructions as independent\, synchronous\, or collective to express a spectrum of candidate subgroup semantics\, and validates thes e models through a TLA+ implementation and an empirical fuzzing study acros s real GPUs. My systems work studies how subgroup-dependent kernels behave in practice\, including WebGPU FlashAttention kernels for LLM inference\, t unable WebGPU kernels for performance portability\, and Vulkan-based execut ion for heterogeneous SoCs. Building on these foundations\, my proposed ver ification work develops data-race-free checking techniques for ML kernels t hat rely on subgroup operations and matrix operations. Together\, these pro jects aim to clarify the execution guarantees that optimized GPU kernels ca n rely on and to support portable GPU programming systems whose performance and correctness can be reasoned about across diverse hardware.\n\nEvent Ho st: Zheyuan Chen\, Ph.D. Student\, Computer Science & Engineering\n\nAdviso r: Tyler Sorensen\n\nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/92175288480?pwd=jGajtqerV bKuW1FPNr3awqOYoxATsp.1&jst=3\n\nPasscode: 693354 URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/chen-z-cse-gpu-subgroup-semantics-for-por table-high-performance-kernels/ LOCATION:Engineering 2\, Engineering 2 1156 High Street\, Santa Cruz\, CA 9 5064 GEO:37.000972;-122.063237 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,ucsc STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:goodtimes-cityspark:87fce5eb141c7a486b56e295@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260605T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260605T120000 SUMMARY:Silly Storytellers DESCRIPTION:The event is held on June 05\, 2026 at All About Theatre in San ta Cruz\, CA.The cost is 295.00 URL:https://www.hisawyer.com/all-about-theatre/schedules/activity-set/18094 10?source=camps LOCATION:All About Theatre\, 325 Washington St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 GEO:36.967625;-122.028305 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,theater STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:goodtimes-cityspark:e3c2e0f0060d66257e30194e@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260605T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260605T160000 SUMMARY:Outdoor Summer Fun DESCRIPTION:The event is held on June 05\, 2026 at All About Theatre in San ta Cruz\, CA.The cost is 495.00 URL:https://www.hisawyer.com/all-about-theatre/schedules/activity-set/17951 87?source=camps LOCATION:All About Theatre\, 325 Washington St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 GEO:36.967625;-122.028305 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,theater STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:mah:e547f1f9ccfbca4f008cb288@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260605T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260605T120000 SUMMARY:Evergreen Volunteer Days DESCRIPTION:Join a team of amazing\, weekly volunteers who help maintain on e of the oldest public cemeteries in California\, Evergreen Cemetery.

Her work is inspired by the intersection of art\, ecology\, and science. Drawing on a b ackground in environmental science and conservation biology\, along with fo rmal training in art and design\, she creates both evocative paintings and sustainable outdoor spaces that deepen people’s connection to the natural world.\n\nNicole’s paintings capture local landscapes and scenes through plein air encaustic and watercolor techniques. Encaustic painting\, often called “hot wax painting”\, is an ancient medium dating back to the fif th century BCE. Pigments are blended into molten beeswax\, layered onto a r igid surface\, and fused with a blowtorch. The process creates luminous wor ks with remarkable texture\, richness\, and depth.\n\nBecause bees are esse ntial to both ecosystems and humanity\, Nicole views encaustic painting as a meditation on the interconnectedness of all of life- ecologically\, physi cally and spiritually.\n\nWe hope you can join us on First Friday to see Ni cole’s work and meet the artist herself URL:https://firstfridaysantacruz.com/event/first-friday-at-artisans-agency- featuring-nicole-woodling/ LOCATION:Artisans & agency\, 1368 Pacific Ave\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 GEO:36.974363;-122.025904 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:goodtimes-cityspark:5f34344ed0bebd4fc5b5f74f@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260605T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260605T200000 SUMMARY:First Friday of June!

Developed in collaboration with residents living at the Armory Shelter in Santa Cruz\, the workshop centers protest s tatements\, demands\, and reflections gathered directly from individuals cu rrently experiencing housing insecurity. These statements\, along with bann er-making materials\, will then be brought into the gallery space at Indexi cal\, where community members and unhoused residents alike will be invited to collectively create hand-made protest banners together. The workshop exp ands the exhibition's ongoing engagement with homelessness not only as a su bject of representation\, but as a site of collaboration\, collective expre ssion\, and public visibility. The resulting banners will be donated as too ls for future demonstrations\, advocacy efforts\, and public actions organi zed by members of the unhoused community and their allies. By connecting ga llery audiences with material forms of advocacy rooted in lived experience\ , the event asks how art spaces might function as places of solidarity\, di alogue\, and action. All materials will be provided. Community members are encouraged to participate regardless of artistic experience.

Ann graduated from the Digital Arts and New Media MFA at University of Califor nia\, Santa Cruz in 2018.

The Riverland s of San Lorenzo Park\, also known as the Benchlands is a place marked by c ycles of erasure and return\, carries layered histories: first violently cl eared of their original caretakers-the Awaswas-speaking Uypi people\, ances tors of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band-then reshaped through missions\, ranche s\, and urban development. In recent decades\, the Benchlands became a plac e where unhoused residents built shelter\, relationships\, and fragile stab ility\, only to be repeatedly cleared\, most recently in 2022\, when the en campment was destroyed by police and heavy machinery. Footage from that cle aring-its blunt violence and haunting emptiness-forms a central visual elem ent of the performance. Common Ground\, No Ground situates this moment with in a longer history: from the English Enclosure Movement of the 16th and 17 th Centuries\, from colonial land seizure to modern anti-camping ordinances that criminalize existence in public space. In Santa Cruz\, as in many U.S . cities\, law continues to function as a tool of exclusion-shaping who is allowed to remain\, and who is forced to move. This performance is a respon se and a refusal. Schendledecker frames enclosure not as a past event\, but an ongoing condition. Abolition is its antidote: not only the dismantling of harmful systems\, but the creation of a world in which no one is forced to disappear. About the Artist Joy Schendledecker is an artist\, organizer\ , and educator based in Santa Cruz\, California. Her work explores housing justice\, environmental entanglement\, and the politics of care through per formance\, installation\, social practice\, and writing. She has worked ext ensively in local shelter systems and community organizing\, bringing lived experience into dialogue with artistic practice. The Day That Never Came / El Día Que The Day That Never Came / El Día Que is a collaborative sound project created through recorded orations by Mace Crowbear\, Lisa Bordenav e\, Julio Lopez\, and Sandra Aguilar\, interwoven with original sound works by Leshy \\(Ben Krasner\\)\, Briana Marela\, Rip Florence\, and e-fem.url \\(Maya Garcia\\). The project brings forward personal accounts of survival \, displacement\, memory\, addiction\, parenthood\, and resilience from the unhoused community\, forming a layered listening environment of lived test imony.

He eventually made his way up to the Bay\, and while he only played one sea son with the San Francisco Giants\, he jumped the bridge to play for the Oa kland A’s to finish his career as a player.

(CSE) – Library-Level Choreographic Programming DESCRIPTION:Modern software increasingly relies on distributed systems to p rovide accessible\, scalable\,\n\nand reliable services. Choreographic prog ramming brings a global perspective to distributed\n\nsystem development: p rogrammers write a single program that describes the behavior of a\n\nwhole system\, and a compiler projects that global description into local progra ms run by each\n\nnode. By making distributed control flow explicit\, chore ographic programming can rule out\n\nimportant classes of errors\, includin g deadlocks. This dissertation investigates library-level\n\nchoreographic programming\, an approach that embeds choreographic abstractions in existin g\n\nhost languages rather than implementing them as standalone languages. The central claim\n\nis that the library approach can retain the safety and global reasoning principles of chore-\n\nographic programming while taking advantage of the host language’s features\, tools\, and\n\necosystem. Fi rst\, we present HasChor\, a first-of-its-kind library-level choreographic program-\n\nming language in Haskell\, built using freer monads. Next\, we generalize the design underlying\n\nHasChor to algebraic effects\, giving l ibrary-level implementations in Agda and OCaml. Fi-\n\nnally\, we present P arkour\, a backward-compatible extension to HasChor that adds a construct\n \nfor expressing parallel behavior in choreographies. Together\, these syst ems show that chore-\n\nographic programming can be implemented\, generaliz ed\, and extended at the library level\,\n\nmaking global programming techn iques available within practical host-language settings.\n\nEvent Host: Gan Shen\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Computer Science & Engineering \n\nAdvisor: Lind sey Kuper \n\nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93790633483?pwd=Jg8JlISsrwjLBaQ Ii1KdHk36bNMIv7.1\n\nPasscode: 902041 URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/shen-g-cse-library-level-choreographic-pr ogramming/ LOCATION:Engineering 2\, Engineering 2 1156 High Street\, Santa Cruz\, CA 9 5064 GEO:37.000972;-122.063237 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,ucsc,dance STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:goodtimes-cityspark:f92d21d4c906824cd2bd6faf@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260609T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260609T130000 SUMMARY:POKEMON ART CONTEST FOR KIDS!

Always an anomaly among his country music peers\, Wayne’s u ncompromising interpretation of the music he loves is in fact what defines him: steeped in traditional but never “retro\;” bare bones but bone sha king\; hardcore but with a swing. Like the comfortable crackle of a Wurlitz er 45 jukebox\, Wayne is the embodiment of genuine\, house rocking\, hillbi lly boogie. Wayne makes music fit for any road house anywhere. With his unm istakable voice\, The Train’s reckless honky-tonk can move the dead. If y ou see him live (and he is ALWAYS touring)\, you’ll surely work up some s weat stains on that snazzy Rayon shirt you’re wearing. If you buy his rec ords\, you’ll be rolling up your carpets\, spreading sawdust on the hardw ood\, and dancing until the downstairs neighbors are banging their brooms o n the ceiling. Call him a throwback if you want\, Wayne just wants to ENTER TAIN you\, and what’s wrong with that? Wayne’s disdain for the slick sw ill that passes for real deal country is well known. Like he’s fond of sa ying: “Man\, I’m like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Na shville. See that bloodstain slowly spreading? That’s me.” Little known fact: Wayne is the only Bloodshot artist to have had their CD taken aboard a space shuttle flight.

With his musical career spa nning nearly 3 decades\, 4 CD’s later Lloyd is now calling Austin\, TX ho me. Whether you catch Rockin’ Lloyd Tripp pummeling his upright bass or b ending his guitar he is still pumping out 100% original songs from the hear t.

Just minutes north on the Pacific Coast Highway\, Davenport has stunning sweeping ocean and cliff views\, the first national monument in the county\ , some awesome restaurants to tempt the passerby\, and an idyllic little to wn.\n\nThis tiny two-cell jail was built in 1914 and decommissioned in 1936 . In its entire history of being a working holding cell\, only three legal prisoners were ever registered: a man who had too much to drink\, and two b oys from that county to the north who stole their uncle’s horse. Beyond t hat\, incapacitated people were able to rest and recover from the night’s festivities in the small jail before walking home in the morning.\n\nOver the last year\, Watsonville-based artist Joshua Moreno has been tracing the movement of light through the decommissioned Davenport Jail. This site-spe cific art installation is composed of graphite tracings made directly on th e walls of the jail\, marking fleeting reflections cast by the surrounding environment.\n\nHead to the jail this Sunday for a culminating presentation of Joshua Moreno’s year long residency at Davenport Jail. This final vie wing highlights the work developed through an extended period of experiment ation and creative inquiry\, offering insight into the evolution of Moreno ’s practice over time.

Marsalis is the son of pianist and music educator Ellis Ma rsalis and his wife Dolores\, and the youngest sibling of Wynton\, Branford \, and Delfeayo. Together\, the four brothers and Ellis comprise New Orlean s’s venerable first family of jazz\, and recipients of the National Endow ment for the Arts 2011 Jazz Masters award. Marsalis was initially well know n for his prodigal drumming. Working with his father’s group\, as well as the great pianist Marcus Roberts\, he fine-tuned his playing in two of the most demanding trio settings in modern jazz. However\, with the release of 2013’s In A World of Mallets\, and his recognition as the 2013 rising st ar winner in the DownBeat Magazine annual critics poll\, listeners are now recognizing Marsalis for his unique sound on the vibraphones.\n\nMarsalis ’ own playing is unique. Drawing from a wide range of influences\, he per forms original music as well as many hidden gems in the jazz canon and beyo nd. Marsalis’ knack for selecting compositions that cover a wide range of moods\, rhythms\, and emotions\, engages the audience\, and offers surpris es around every turn.\n\nJason Marsalis Website\n\n(Ticket Includes 5% City of Santa Cruz Admission Tax)\n\n.embed-container { position: relative\; pa dding-bottom: 56.25%\; height: 0\; overflow: hidden\; max-width: 100%\; } . embed-container iframe\, .embed-container object\, .embed-container embed { position: absolute\; top: 0\; left: 0\; width: 100%\; height: 100%\; } URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/jason-marsalis-quartet-2/ LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,jazz,live-music STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:felton-music-hall:6651ed0ef8740112e8e08cac@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260615T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260615T230000 SUMMARY:Sir Woman URL:https://www.feltonmusichall.com/shows/sir-woman LOCATION:Felton Music Hall\, 6275 CA-9\, Felton\, CA GEO:37.051300;-122.072200 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,music,live-music STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:santacruz-org:c1cf4622d5ba409b30dc185c@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260615T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260615T213000 SUMMARY:SC Beach Boardwalk: Evenings on the Colonnade DESCRIPTION:Stay for the entertainment from 8:30pm to 9:30pm on the Colonna de Deck!

Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (th e hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by en closing what should be held in common.

Her storytelling—raw\, honest\, and un wavering—has established her as one of America’s most compelling voices \, offering beauty in sorrow\, healing in loss\, and perspectives only an a rtist of profound empathy can provide. Gauthier’s songs have been recorde d by artists including Tim McGraw\, Blake Shelton\, Kathy Mattea\, Boy Geor ge\, Jimmy Buffett\, Vince Gill\, Bettye LaVette\, and many more. She has r eceived honors from the Americana Music Association\, International Folk Mu sic Awards\, the Independent Music Awards\, the GLAMA Awards\, and the UK A mericana Association. Her work has appeared extensively in film and televis ion\, including Yellowstone and ABC’s Nashville\, and her memoir\, Sa ved by a Song\, was published by St. Martin’s Press.\n\nJaimee Harris tu rned 30 during the pandemic. It’s a milestone that is a rite of passage e ven during normal times. But for this Texas-born singer-songwriter\, it cam e in the midst of one of the strangest and most tumultuous periods in Ameri can history. When the world stopped during lockdown\, Harris\, like many ot hers\, found herself gazing back into the past\, ruminating on the nature o f her hometown and family origins\, and reckoning with their imprint on her . The term ‘nostalgia’ derives from the Greek words nostos (return) a nd algos (pain)\, and if Harris’s Boomerang Town can be regarded as a nostalgic album\, it is only nostalgic in the sense that the longing for h ome is a desire to return to the past and heal old wounds.\n\nMary Gauthier Website\n\nJaimee Harris Website\n\ninfo/tickets/questions:  831-479-942 1 | Snazzy Productions\n\n.embed-container { position: relative\; padding- bottom: 56.25%\; height: 0\; overflow: hidden\; max-width: 100%\; } .embed- container iframe\, .embed-container object\, .embed-container embed { posit ion: absolute\; top: 0\; left: 0\; width: 100%\; height: 100%\; } URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/mary-gauthier-with-jaimee-harris/ LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,jazz,live-music STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:moes-alley:0fb0db136f33e88df397ae0a@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260618T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260618T220000 SUMMARY:Moe's Alley Presents: GayC/DC DESCRIPTION:Moe's Alley presents the world’s first and only all-gay tribu te (well\, more of a “refresh” really) to the music of AC/DC!

Only purchase tickets from mo esalley.com or ticketweb.com * Tickets requested by email will be delivered 3 days prior to the event * Will Call tickets will be available at the doo r on the day of the event ==== GAYC/DC The idea for GayC/DC came from anoth er all-gay tribute band\, the Gay Gay’s\, an all-gay tribute to the Go-Go ’s that formed in 2003 and made the front cover of the LA Times Calendar section that March before playing a note. They had been building up a follo wing for over a decade\, including actual members of the Go-Go’s (they en ded their run playing Jane Wiedlin’s after-party in LA at the end of the Go-Go’s final tour). After officially breaking up in 2013\, a few former members decided that they enjoyed playing together\, so what else could the y do? As they half jokingly bounced around potential names for gay tribute bands\, rhythm guitarist Karl Rumpf tossed out “GayC/DC” with a chuckle . It stuck. HARD. Former Gay Gay’s bassist Chris Freeman (also bassist fo r iconic queer punk band Pansy Division) and drummer Brian Welch (whom Free man had met when Welch booked Pansy Division for a Boston Pride event in ’97) were in immediately\, and they began to hammer out the details on th e spot\, creating the logos and coming up with song ideas right off the bat . Next\, they needed an Angus Young. Freeman reached out to lead guitarist Steve McKnight when he spotted “guitarist” in his profile online. McKni ght had been a part of the Bay Area and LA music scenes in the late ‘80s with Cry Wolf\, a melodic hard rock band that made their mark on the Sunset Strip and beyond with several major albums under their belt. Now with Stev e in the lead\, they would be taking a big step up. The 4-piece spent month s looking for a vocalist to no avail. Finally\, Freeman asked the others if he should audition. They did. And so nervously\, he did. Thankfully\, the band agreed that he was the one to pull it off—but now they needed a bass ist. Freeman reached out to Glen Pavan\, someone Freeman had also met when Pansy Division stayed at his house on tour. Pavan had previously been keepi ng the low end down for LA queer punk rockers Best Revenge (their name come s from a Pansy Division song). He was a natural fit. Now they were off and running. Years later when COVID hit\, Rumpf declined to continue with the b and full-time. Following two replacements in 2023 and 2024\, now Portland-b ased Topher Ruby (whom the band met when his band Ursabomb opened for them in 2023) has taken the Malcolm Young role.

All three had been afflicted by polio and first became acquainted \, albeit briefly\, at Kingston's Mona Rehabilitation Clinic. The three tee ns had individually all previously converted to rastafarianism\, now their shared faith and childhood experiences helped forge a strong friendship. Th ey spent the next six years singing around Kingston for their suppers and b y 1975\, Israel Vibration was a vocal force to be reckoned with. The group' s exquisite dread sound and militant cultural themes made an instant impres sion and the trio now found themselves on-stage opening for the likes of Bo b Marley and Dennis Brown. The trio's deeply devotional songs\, cultural th emes\, inspirational lyrics\, and original take on the roots style had stru ck a chord with reggae fans around the world. They relocated to New York Ci ty\, perhaps believing that the large immigrant community could sustain the m\, or that America was now ready to embrace roots. But a few occasional li ve appearances aside\, the group swiftly disappeared from view. All three a ttempted solo careers\, but only Bulgin made it on to record\; his Mr. Suns hine album paired him with the Freedom Fighters Band. In 1987\, the trio de cided it was stronger together than apart\, re-formed\, and approached the RAS label. Although labelhead Doctor Dread had shown no interest in their s olo efforts\, he was enthusiastic about a reunion and quickly signed them t o RAS. Strength of My Life appeared the following year\, and aided by the R oots Radics\, it found Israel Vibration as vibrant as ever. In 1997\, Apple Gabriel left the group to pursue a solo career\, releasing the album Anoth er Moses in 1999. Skelly and Wiss continue to record albums and tour the wo rld as Israel Vibration\, backed by longtime associates Roots Radics.In Dec ember 2014 they were reportedly recording a new album set for release in ea rly 2015. The new album\, entitled "Play It Real" was released on 31 March 2015 via Utopia. On March 23rd\, 2020\, Albert "Apple Gabriel" co-founder a nd former member of the group died due to 'compilation sickness'\, earlier reports indicated that Albert was not well for quite some time\, this was s upposedly due to some of the polio infections left in his body. On a Facebo ok post on March 7\, 2020\, he had indicated that he had suffered a stroke. He died on March 23\, 2020. On August 26th\, 2022\, Cecil "Skelly" Spence died of lung cancer.

Just minutes north on the Pacific Coast Highway\, Davenport has stunning sweeping ocean and cliff views\, the first national monument in the county\ , some awesome restaurants to tempt the passerby\, and an idyllic little to wn.\n\nThis tiny two-cell jail was built in 1914 and decommissioned in 1936 . In its entire history of being a working holding cell\, only three legal prisoners were ever registered: a man who had too much to drink\, and two b oys from that county to the north who stole their uncle’s horse. Beyond t hat\, incapacitated people were able to rest and recover from the night’s festivities in the small jail before walking home in the morning.\n\nOver the last year\, Watsonville-based artist Joshua Moreno has been tracing the movement of light through the decommissioned Davenport Jail. This site-spe cific installation is composed of graphite tracings made directly on the wa lls of the jail\, marking fleeting reflections cast by the surrounding envi ronment.\n\nHead to jail for a culminating presentation of Joshua Moreno’ s year long residency at Davenport Jail.

This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in Californ ia as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (th e hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by en closing what should be held in common. Questioning the carceral and state-s ponsored productions of disability and accessibility\, the short films toge ther reveal the courage of people working despite limitations to produce co llective access for one another\, described simply and beautifully by disab ility justice activist Leah-Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha as “revolutionary love without charity.”\n\nThanh Tran\n\nDying in Prison\, 2022\n\nHD Vid eo (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\n\nCourtesy of the artist\n\nCarolyn Lazard\ n\nPre-Existing Condition\, 2019\n\nHD video (color\, sound)\, 6 minutes\n\ nCourtesy of the artist and Trautwein Herleth3\n\nAnthony Alejandrez\n\nAno ther Rainy Day\, 2023\n\nPhone video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\n\nCourtes y of the artist\n\nJordan Lord\n\nAfter…After… (Access)\, 2018\n\nHD Vi deo (color\, sound)\, 16 minutes\n\nCourtesy of the artist\n\nRahsaan “Ne w York” Thomas\n\nFriendly Signs\, 2023\n\nVideo (color\, sound) 21 minut es\n\nCourtesy of Tommy Wickerd\, Empowerment Ave & System Impact Media URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/visualizing-abolition-screening-series-be yond-access/2026-06-21/ LOCATION:Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, 100 Panetta Ave\, Santa Cruz\ , CA GEO:36.955794;-122.050555 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,ucsc,film STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:mah:4a41c66d0f9918324f3dd0c6@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260621T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260621T150000 SUMMARY:Solstice Viewing: JOSHUA MORENO DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the culmination of Joshua Moreno's work during his re sidency at the old Davenport Jail.

This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in Californ ia as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (th e hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by en closing what should be held in common.

This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in Californ ia as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (th e hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by en closing what should be held in common.

Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (th e hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by en closing what should be held in common.

This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in Californ ia as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (th e hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by en closing what should be held in common.

Anna’ s newfound brand of sultry stripped-down-soul is steeped in Southern R&B\, Americana\, porch jazz\; apocalyptic love songs\, gritty hymns of humanity\ , abolition\, and compassion busked to fruition in the historic French Quar ter streets. BART BUDWIG Bart Budwig is a son of Idaho\, a cosmic country c rooner\, a rousing trumpet player\, and cryin’-style soul singer. His mus ic is made up of seemingly incongruous parts\; thrum & strum country rhythm s\, jazz guitar melodies\, R&B vocals. When Bart sings he draws out words i nto meditative mantras\, whole note neologisms that keep you hanging on unt il his raspy voice trails off in a ragged edge. His forthcoming album\, Ano ther Burn On The AstroTurf (January 24\, 2020\, Fluff and Gravy Records) wa s recorded over five days by a seven-piece band inside the OK Theater. It ’s a melancholy rhapsody that recalls the uncorked rock n’ roll spiritu ality of king mystic Van Morrison\, the gloomy nostalgia of dark prince Nic k Drake and the songcraft sans self-seriousness of 70s Muscle Shoals.

Rock bass legend Freebo weaves his fretless stylings into Alice’s soulful\, impeccably-tu ned vocals for a harmony-driven performance showcasing two uniquely compell ing songwriters.\n\nFreebo is a genuine folk\, rock\, and blues icon who ha s toured and recorded with some of the greatest artists of his generation\, and is best known for his ten years as bassist with Bonnie Raitt. His fret less bass can be heard on records by John Mayall\, Ringo Starr\, Crosby Sti lls & Nash\, Maria Muldaur\, Joe Walsh\, Dr. John\, and many more. Freebo i s also a multi award-winner and finalist in numerous songwriting contests\, was recognized as Best Folk Artist by the Los Angeles Music Awards\, and h as appeared on Saturday Night Live\, The Muppet Show\, The Midnight Special \, and in concert with the Legendary Spinal Tap.\n\nAlice Howe had the hono r of being named Best Female Artist at the International Acoustic Music Awa rds. To hear her sing is to be enraptured by the natural\, unaffected beaut y of her voice. There’s no artifice\, no histrionics — just honest\, au thentic\, emotionally resonant singing in the tradition of the roots music that shaped her. Her poetic lyrics and melodic sensibilities take center st age on her latest solo album Circumstance\, produced by Freebo and recorded at legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals\, AL. Americana Highways writes of Circumstance: “One of 2023’s best albums. This isn’t just a singe r – this is an artist.”\n\nAlice & Freebo have been working as a duo si nce 2017\, and together they tour relentlessly\, playing over 85 shows annu ally in both 2024 and 2025 across US and Europe. “A beguiling blend of fo lk\, rock\, blues\, and soul\,” their collaboration reveals a deep musica l kinship that transcends their generational divide. Their latest album Ali ce Howe & Freebo Live debuted as the #1 Most Played Album on the Folk Radio Charts\, and also landed on its Top Ten Albums of 2025.\n\nAlice Howe Webs ite\n\nFreebo Website\n\nSnazzy Productions Website\n\ninfo/tickets/questio ns:  831-479-9421\n\n.embed-container { position: relative\; padding-botto m: 56.25%\; height: 0\; overflow: hidden\; max-width: 100%\; } .embed-conta iner iframe\, .embed-container object\, .embed-container embed { position: absolute\; top: 0\; left: 0\; width: 100%\; height: 100%\; } URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/alice-howe-freebo-with-glenn-macph erson/ LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,jazz,live-music STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:ucsc-events:0298f5ba50fd37e3df8525bb@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260710T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260710T203000 SUMMARY:UCSC MEIP XXIII\, May 29\, 30\, and 31st\, at 7:00 PM in the Steven son Event Center-Performances in French\, Japanese and Spanish.

Only purchase tickets from moesalley.com or ticketweb.com * Ticket s requested by email will be delivered 3 days prior to the event * Will Cal l tickets will be available at the door on the day of the event ==== SHINYR IBS Shinyribs reassembles the American song bag like a picker in a junkyard \; Texas singer-songwriter\, East Tx blues\, Louisiana swamp n’ rhythm\, honky tonk\, Oklahoma swing\, Golden-Triangle Cajun\, and Arkansas jazz are all filtered through the singular vision of Kevin Russell\, one of Austin ’s most celebrated and criminally underrated singer-songwriters. The Aust in-based supergroup has entered a bold new chapter with the small baller “Shortribs” configuration — a tightly arranged powerhouse built to sh owcase what has always been at the heart of the Shinyribs experience: Russe ll’s legendary songwriting chops\, his iconic voice\, and the infamous hi -jinks of the self-proclaimed world’s oldest living male exotic dancer. H ip shaking\, booty twerking\, arm flapping\, high kicking and karate choppi ng good times are guaranteed to send you home with aching cheeks and tear-s tained laughter. At the rhythmic core is Keith Langford on drums — Russel l’s musical partner of 30 years\, a bond forged in the crucible of legend ary\, The Gourds— and as essential to the Shinyribs sound as the backbeat itself. Mason Hankamer holds down the low end on bass\, pulling double dut y as co-producer of the last 3 Ribs platters and musical director\, tighten ing the arrangements and the show into something leaner and more purposeful than ever. The Delta Dawns — both hailing from the famous Memphis/Missis sippi alluvial plain — have been elevated to a full dynamic singing siste rhood: Kellee Broadway\, who doubles on percussion\, and Schaefer Llana\, w ho shakes the chandeliers and plays some guitar too. Eric Baker\, a rising star in the Austin scene\, frisks the pianoforte like a long-lost Leon Russ ell. Rounding out the band — and perhaps its most exciting new voice — is lead guitarist and pedal steel wizard Cat Clemons.

Just minutes north on the Pacific Coast Highway\, Davenport has stunning sweeping ocean and cliff views\, the first national monument in the county\ , some awesome restaurants to tempt the passerby\, and an idyllic little to wn.\n\nThis tiny two-cell jail was built in 1914 and decommissioned in 1936 . In its entire history of being a working holding cell\, only three legal prisoners were ever registered: a man who had too much to drink\, and two b oys from that county to the north who stole their uncle’s horse. Beyond t hat\, incapacitated people were able to rest and recover from the night’s festivities in the small jail before walking home in the morning.\n\nOver the last year\, Watsonville-based artist Joshua Moreno has been tracing the movement of light through the decommissioned Davenport Jail. This site-spe cific art installation is composed of graphite tracings made directly on th e walls of the jail\, marking fleeting reflections cast by the surrounding environment.\n\nHead to the jail this Sunday for a culminating presentation of Joshua Moreno’s year long residency at Davenport Jail. This final vie wing highlights the work developed through an extended period of experiment ation and creative inquiry\, offering insight into the evolution of Moreno ’s practice over time.

Like everyone\, I can cer tainly see both sides in my life.” ‘13’ also happens to be the thirte enth album of White Denim’s career. An incandescent\, groove-heavy alchem y of rock\, funk\, dub\, soul and down-dirty blues – and plenty more besi des – it’s imbued with the same questing spirit that’s been the band ’s trademark since first starting in Austin\, Texas\, some 20 years ago. ARC IRIS Over the course of 5 LP’s and a decade of live performances\, Ar c Iris has created an art-pop aesthetic that is ever-evolving but instantly recognizable\, equally inspired by vintage Joni Mitchell and Tropicalia to modern production and electronics. Composed of multi-instrumentalist Jocie Adams\, keyboardist Zach Tenorio\, and drummer Ray Belli\, the band has co llectively and individually performed and recorded with artists such as WIL LOW\, St. Vincent\, Kimbra\, Guster\, Elvis Costello\, Emmylou Harris\, Bru ce Springsteen\, Jon Anderson\, and many more. In late 2020\, the band move d from Providence\, RI to Los Angeles in search of further collaboration. S ince then\, they’ve developed an outdoor concert series\, Glass Hill\, wh ich has quickly become a pillar of LA’s independent music community. Thei r upcoming LP (out May 22nd)\, iTMRW \, is a science-fiction concept album set in the year 2080.

Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (th e hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by en closing what should be held in common.

With deep roots in traditional American music and an ear for innovation\, their performances have captivated fans from b ackyards to major festivals across the country.\n\nWater Tower’s lineup f eatures tight harmonies\, virtuosic string work\, and a vibe that’s equal parts front-porch jam and punk rock basement show. Their latest album has garnered critical acclaim for its authenticity and unfiltered passion\, ear ning them a devoted following that spans generations and genres.\n\nWater T ower was founded in 2005 by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Kenny Feinst ein. Formerly known as The Water Tower Bucket Boys\, the name was changed t o Water Tower in 2014 when the band relocated from Portland\, Oregon to Los Angeles\, California. While their lineup has evolved over time\, Water Tow er have maintained an ongoing reputation as a force to be reckoned with\, w ith a growing horde of loyal fans known as “The Owls”. Water Tower is f ueled by Feinstein’s masterful song-crafting\, fiercely do-it-yourself ap proach\, and crossover sonic identity that fuses bluegrass/old-time revival ism with a distinctly punk-rock edge. The band’s current lineup consists of Kenny Feinstein\, Tommy Drinkard\, Taylor Estes\, and Jesse Blue Eads\, and they are independently managed by Joanne Ledesma. The group divides the ir time between working on new material\, practicing for upcoming shows and festivals\, and busking at local freeway off-ramps. Busking has given them a unique platform and opportunity to hone their skills by the side of the road.\n\nWater Tower Website\n\nSnazzy Productions Website\n\ninfo/tickets/ questions:  831-479-9421\n\n.embed-container { position: relative\; paddin g-bottom: 56.25%\; height: 0\; overflow: hidden\; max-width: 100%\; } .embe d-container iframe\, .embed-container object\, .embed-container embed { pos ition: absolute\; top: 0\; left: 0\; width: 100%\; height: 100%\; } URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/water-tower-2/ LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,jazz,live-music STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:santacruz-org:2dc722fcedf0c40c660fa53d@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260718T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260718T230000 SUMMARY:Audrey Stanley Grove: Much Ado About Nothing DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz Shakespeare invites you to experience Shakespeare’ s Much Ado About Nothing\, un-der the trees and stars of the Audrey Stanley Grove in Santa Cruz’s DeLaveaga Park this summer.\n\nMuch Ado About Noth ing\n\nBy William Shakespeare\n\nDirected by Charles Pasternak\n\nOne of Sh akespeare’s wittiest and most beloved comedies\, the 2026 season will ope n with Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.

Made up of a group of close friends that have known each since the early 80s\, stemmin g from playing in various intertwined bands engraved in the extended Santa Cruz family of friends. Featuring Ed Gregor\, guitar (hedgehog\, no use for a name)\, Eric "Dog" Fieber\, guitar (Mock\, creature\, fire sermon) Steve Ilse drums (creature\, Herbert\, Automatic Animal) Clifford Dinsmore vocal s (Bl'ast!\, Seized Up\, Spaceboy) and Eliot Young (Lost in Line\, Seance) on bass. Formed a very long time ago (I don't know..2009 or something)\, Du sted Angel is a sleeping giant that awakens from time to time to enlighten people with their unique brand of heavy\, heavy groove laden music. The adv ice for fans is to get it while the gettin's good! PHANTASMAL ABYSS There's just something about a three-piece band. A power-trio if you will. Sure\, one could go the traditional route of a four-piece\, or even a more popular five-piece. But a three-piece is just…classic. Think Rush\, Motorhead\, Venom\, Celtic Frost\, etc. No camouflage. No tricks. No gimmicks. Just thr ee musicians making unholy noise together.

He is trained in Hindustani classical and Sout h Asian folk music by his father\, Pandit Ashwin Batish\, and his aunt\, Sh rimati Meena Batish. Batish’s debut album\, Binaries in Cycle\, was recog nized in 2021 as one of 10 Best Bay Area albums by KQED and received critic al acclaim from JazzTimes\, DownBeat\, and the Brooklyn Rail.\n\nBatish rec ently received a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Composition from the Universi ty of California\, Santa Cruz\, for which he recorded his third album\, Son ic Kinship. Sonic Kinship melds ragas – the melodic forms of Hindustani m usic – with the rhythmic ensemble dynamics of the likes of Andrew Hill a nd Masabumi Kikuchi to find new musical vistas through ancient forms. The a lbum grew from his sense that “every musical note carries a character sha ped by its relationship with others\, and that closer attention to timing a nd tuning can deepen the feeling of music to foster healing through sound. ” \n\nBatish experimented with how to translate the effect of shruti\, t he Sanskritic idea referring to the discernible difference between notes\, from solo-centric Hindustani music to a group of many musicians by employin g its practical vehicle known as meend. Meend traditionally sounds like a g liding movement between notes and is heard across South Asian musical pract ices. Sonic Kinship reimagines the dialogue between the two concepts\, such that meend balances the shrutis of many notes so they float together in su ccession to create a blissful sonic space.\n\nBatish is joined on this perf ormance by Bay Area luminaries Kristen Strom on tenor saxophone\, Shay Salh ov on alto saxophone\, Scott Sorkin on guitar\,  Stan Poplin on double bas s\, and Dahveed Behroozi on piano in an album release celebration for Sonic Kinship.\n\nKeshav Batish Website\n\n(Ticket Includes 5% City of Santa Cru z Admission Tax)\n\n.embed-container { position: relative\; padding-bottom: 56.25%\; height: 0\; overflow: hidden\; max-width: 100%\; } .embed-contain er iframe\, .embed-container object\, .embed-container embed { position: ab solute\; top: 0\; left: 0\; width: 100%\; height: 100%\; } URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/keshav-batish-friends-in-sonic-kin ship-album-release-celebration/ LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,jazz,live-music STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:santacruz-org:f997fdebd65b5fe7b2e6f9e1@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260720T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260720T213000 SUMMARY:SC Beach Boardwalk: Evenings on the Colonnade DESCRIPTION:Stay for the entertainment from 8:30pm to 9:30pm on the Colonna de Deck!

For a little band from a small town in Central Ore gon\, we were able to achieve amazing things and use our music to see the w orld! We were very much off the beaten path. When we grew up there was no m ajor airport\, no interstate highway and no reason to think that we could e ver be an international touring band. Until a few years ago most people had not even heard of Bend Oregon\, let alone Redmond (Where LAHF started). We were not from a major music town. We had no ties to the music industry\, a nd we had no money to help us get in front of the “right people”. To ge t our music out there\, we had to hit the road. And so\, that is what we di d. Most of the time we had no money at all. When we were hungry\, we stole food from the supermarket or busked. When we needed a place to sleep\, we m ade new friends in a new town. Everything we achieved was through tenacity and the kindness of our friends\, family and fans. We owe everything to you . Thank you! After a daunting tour schedule that would put any band to the test\, we needed to go into hibernation. From 2010-2014\, LAHF played 200-2 50 shows a year. On top of that\, we busked constantly to earn gas money an d food. No town was safe from our brand of Americana Punk and the beer-fuel ed chaos that followed. We constantly criss-crossed and zig-zagged North Am erica and Europe. We have been through every state in the USA\, every provi nce in Canada\, and 14 Countries in Europe. After some much-needed rest and recalibration\, we are back at it! We couldn’t be more stoked. All the s elf-imposed trauma and drama has faded into the dark recesses of the deep p ast and we are now ready to take on new adventures. It has been 7 years sin ce we played a show. And now we have a few coming up. It’s about fucking time\, eh?! DIGGIN' TRAILS Diggin Trails is a five-piece Americana rock n' roll band hailing from Santa Cruz\, California. With a diverse lineup of ta lented musicians\, the band blends elements of country\, rock\, bluegrass a nd punk to create their unique and captivating sound.

These works remind us that dreaming is essential to shaping a more just and connected future.”\n\nThe Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music presents its 64th season\, We the Dreamers\, running July 26 through August 9\, 2026. Framed by the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence \, this transformative season asks one of the most resonant civic questions of our time: Who is the “we” of America—and who are “we” still b ecoming? The answers unfold across four world premiere Festival Commission s\, eight West Coast premieres\, and two U.S. premieres\, brought to life b y a dynamic global roster of over 20 composers and an extraordinary array o f guest artists.\n\nHighlights include the second-ever performance and Wes t Coast premiere of Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 15 Lincoln\, which draws on Lincoln’s urgent reverence for the Constitution and his prescient warn ings against internal division\, alongside an appearance by Former U.S. Poe t Laureate Rita Dove and new works by Clarice Assad\, Vivian Fung\, Sara h Hennies\, and Pedro Emanuel Pereira—together offering a compelling por trait of our contemporary moment through the lens of history\, civic reckon ing\, and global perspective.\n\nFor more information: Cabrillo Festival 2 026 URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/cabrillo-festival-2026-opening-night/ LOCATION:Santa Cruz\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95064 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,ucsc STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:ucsc-events:60ad2cc714652da658f1f28f@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260726T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260726T170000 SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition Screening Series: Beyond Access DESCRIPTION:On view in the IAS Screening Room is a selection of short films curated by Visualizing Abolition Visiting Faculty Fellow Dr. Pooja Rangan. \n\nPrisons deny and censor the access of those trapped inside them—to in formation\, to intimacy\, to community\, to meaningful work\, to nourishmen t of all kinds\, and perhaps most cruelly\, to care. This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in Californ ia as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (th e hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by en closing what should be held in common. Questioning the carceral and state-s ponsored productions of disability and accessibility\, the short films toge ther reveal the courage of people working despite limitations to produce co llective access for one another\, described simply and beautifully by disab ility justice activist Leah-Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha as “revolutionary love without charity.”\n\nThanh Tran\n\nDying in Prison\, 2022\n\nHD Vid eo (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\n\nCourtesy of the artist\n\nCarolyn Lazard\ n\nPre-Existing Condition\, 2019\n\nHD video (color\, sound)\, 6 minutes\n\ nCourtesy of the artist and Trautwein Herleth3\n\nAnthony Alejandrez\n\nAno ther Rainy Day\, 2023\n\nPhone video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\n\nCourtes y of the artist\n\nJordan Lord\n\nAfter…After… (Access)\, 2018\n\nHD Vi deo (color\, sound)\, 16 minutes\n\nCourtesy of the artist\n\nRahsaan “Ne w York” Thomas\n\nFriendly Signs\, 2023\n\nVideo (color\, sound) 21 minut es\n\nCourtesy of Tommy Wickerd\, Empowerment Ave & System Impact Media URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/visualizing-abolition-screening-series-be yond-access/2026-07-26/ LOCATION:Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, 100 Panetta Ave\, Santa Cruz\ , CA GEO:36.955794;-122.050555 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,ucsc,film STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:santacruz-org:c9b44399c2d901eba963ff88@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260726T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260726T160000 SUMMARY:Nicholson Vineyards: Summer Series DESCRIPTION:Enjoy summer weekend afternoons at the beautiful Nicholson Vine yards! \n\nSaturdays from noon to 5pm – Enjoy perusing art from local ar tists \n\nSundays from 1pm to 4pm – Enjoy listening to local musicians\n \nPack a picnic spread\, gather your friends and family\, and sip on their refreshing summer wine flight\, featuring the best of our warm-weather sele ctions.

Pete Escovedo DESCRIPTION:Contemporary jazz guitarist and composer Ray Obiedo had an ecle ctic music upbringing during his younger days in the San Francisco Bay Area . The sounds of Miles Davis\, Antonio Carlos Jobim\, Henry Mancini\, Mortow n Records\, and perhaps most of all\, James Brown\, all influenced his musi cal persona and career trajectory. His early break was joining Johnny “Ha mmond” Smith on tour in 1974\, which then led to late seventies touring w ith the legendary Herbie Hancock. During that time\, Obiedo also began a lo ngtime association with Pete Escovedo\, which notably continues to this day . \n\nRay Obiedo’s Latin Jazz Ensemble will feature Escovedo on percussi on\; an East Bay icon who has been a major force in Latin music since the l ate 1960s. His versatility has led to success across musical genres\, inclu ding Latin jazz\, salsa\, rock\, and Latin pop. The legendary jazz percussi onist’s name has been synonymous with Latin music for half a century. Lat er this year\, Escovedo and his daughter\, Sheila E\, will both be honored by the Latin Recording Academy with a Lifetime Achievement Award. It is the first time the Recording Academy has honored both a father and daughter.\n \nRay Obiedo Website\n\n(Ticket Includes 5% City of Santa Cruz Admission Ta x)\n\n.embed-container { position: relative\; padding-bottom: 56.25%\; heig ht: 0\; overflow: hidden\; max-width: 100%\; } .embed-container iframe\, .e mbed-container object\, .embed-container embed { position: absolute\; top: 0\; left: 0\; width: 100%\; height: 100%\; } URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/ray-obiedos-latin-jazz-ensemble-fe at-pete-escovedo/ LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,jazz,live-music STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:santacruz-org:a5f5c1e50250f971b610774f@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260727T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260727T213000 SUMMARY:SC Beach Boardwalk: Evenings on the Colonnade DESCRIPTION:Stay for the entertainment from 8:30pm to 9:30pm on the Colonna de Deck!

She is a virtuoso\, she is expressive\, spontane ous and with a grace that makes her the favorite of all of us.” – Chuch o Valdés\n\nYilian Cañizares is one of the most intriguing contemporary v iolinists\, singers\, and composers. Always staying true to her origins\, s he skillfully blends jazz\, classical\, and Afro-Cuban rhythms with her oth erworldly voice. Whether on stage or in a recording studio\, there are few talented artists like Cañizares – who was born in Havana and settled in Switzerland – with such great respect for the past and sensitivity toward s the future.\n\nFrench weekly Le Nouvel Observateur called her the “reve lation of the year” due to her charisma\, influences\, and the ease with which Cañizares sings and plays the violin. “My sound reflects the richn ess and mixture of cultures that I carry with me today. It reflects what I am: a woman\, Cuban\, musician\, and citizen of the world” explains the a rtist. \n\nCañizares has received important recognitions\, including the Swiss Music Award (2021) and the invitation to perform during the UN World Oceans Day.

In 2026\, the Dickens Universe will feature Bleak House by Charles Dicke ns.\n\nDickens’s ninth novel\, published between 1852-1853\, shines a lig ht on social injustice and the devastating effects of a corrupt legal syste m\, following the entangled lives of those caught in the never-ending Jarnd yce and Jarndyce case. Told in alternating narrative voices\, this rich lit erary experiment plays with a variety of genres from detective fiction and social realism to melodrama and satire. As characters move from city to sub urb\, from mansions to slums\, we discover unexpected connections among cl asses\, plots\, and characters.\n\nNow in its 46th year of operation\, the Dickens Universe combines features of a scholarly conference\, a festival\, a book club\, and a summer camp. Participants include people of all ages a nd walks of life—distinguished scholars\, graduate students\, undergradua tes\, retirees\, young professionals\, high school teachers\, and anyone wh o loves reading and enjoys long Victorian novels.\n\nHere are some things t hat make the Universe such a special experience.\n\nThe college lifestyle: participants live on campus\, eat together in the student dining hall\, and have time to meet and come to know each other in different ways.\n\nEveryo ne is reading the same book. We all have this one important thing in common .\n\nThe activities include formal lectures\, small discussion groups\, fil ms\, daily Victorian teas\, performances\, and Victorian dancing.\n\nThe Un iverse offers a week of total immersion in the world of Victorian fiction w ith friendly\, like-minded colleagues in a beautiful setting. Whether we’ re returning to a Dickens novel that everyone knows and loves\, or branchin g out into a Victorian novel by another author who might be less familiar\, during the Universe we build a community out of our passion for reading\, talking with one another\, and bringing Victorian culture to life.\n\nView the complete schedule\n\nRegistration options\n\nPlenary Lecturers and Gues t Scholars URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/the-dickens-universe-featuring-bleak-hous e/2026-07-31/ LOCATION:Humanities and Social Sciences Facility\, 2 Hagar Drive\, Santa Cr uz\, CA 95064 GEO:36.996569;-122.055087 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,ucsc,film STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:mah:c2f35b4af926311198bdec34@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260731T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260731T120000 SUMMARY:Evergreen Volunteer Days DESCRIPTION:Join a team of amazing\, weekly volunteers who help maintain on e of the oldest public cemeteries in California\, Evergreen Cemetery.

In 2026\, the Dickens Universe will feature Bleak House by Charles Dicke ns.\n\nDickens’s ninth novel\, published between 1852-1853\, shines a lig ht on social injustice and the devastating effects of a corrupt legal syste m\, following the entangled lives of those caught in the never-ending Jarnd yce and Jarndyce case. Told in alternating narrative voices\, this rich lit erary experiment plays with a variety of genres from detective fiction and social realism to melodrama and satire. As characters move from city to sub urb\, from mansions to slums\, we discover unexpected connections among cl asses\, plots\, and characters.\n\nNow in its 46th year of operation\, the Dickens Universe combines features of a scholarly conference\, a festival\, a book club\, and a summer camp. Participants include people of all ages a nd walks of life—distinguished scholars\, graduate students\, undergradua tes\, retirees\, young professionals\, high school teachers\, and anyone wh o loves reading and enjoys long Victorian novels.\n\nHere are some things t hat make the Universe such a special experience.\n\nThe college lifestyle: participants live on campus\, eat together in the student dining hall\, and have time to meet and come to know each other in different ways.\n\nEveryo ne is reading the same book. We all have this one important thing in common .\n\nThe activities include formal lectures\, small discussion groups\, fil ms\, daily Victorian teas\, performances\, and Victorian dancing.\n\nThe Un iverse offers a week of total immersion in the world of Victorian fiction w ith friendly\, like-minded colleagues in a beautiful setting. Whether we’ re returning to a Dickens novel that everyone knows and loves\, or branchin g out into a Victorian novel by another author who might be less familiar\, during the Universe we build a community out of our passion for reading\, talking with one another\, and bringing Victorian culture to life.\n\nView the complete schedule\n\nRegistration options\n\nPlenary Lecturers and Gues t Scholars URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/the-dickens-universe-featuring-bleak-hous e/2026-08-01/ LOCATION:Humanities and Social Sciences Facility\, 2 Hagar Drive\, Santa Cr uz\, CA 95064 GEO:36.996569;-122.055087 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,ucsc,film STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:ucsc-events:780deb9bd6522accab1a6e8d@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260801T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260801T170000 SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition Screening Series: Beyond Access DESCRIPTION:On view in the IAS Screening Room is a selection of short films curated by Visualizing Abolition Visiting Faculty Fellow Dr. Pooja Rangan. \n\nPrisons deny and censor the access of those trapped inside them—to in formation\, to intimacy\, to community\, to meaningful work\, to nourishmen t of all kinds\, and perhaps most cruelly\, to care.

Just minutes north on the Pacific Coast Highway\, Davenport has stunning sweeping ocean and cliff views\, the first national monument in the county\ , some awesome restaurants to tempt the passerby\, and an idyllic little to wn.\n\nThis tiny two-cell jail was built in 1914 and decommissioned in 1936 . In its entire history of being a working holding cell\, only three legal prisoners were ever registered: a man who had too much to drink\, and two b oys from that county to the north who stole their uncle’s horse. Beyond t hat\, incapacitated people were able to rest and recover from the night’s festivities in the small jail before walking home in the morning.\n\nOver the last year\, Watsonville-based artist Joshua Moreno has been tracing the movement of light through the decommissioned Davenport Jail. This site-spe cific art installation is composed of graphite tracings made directly on th e walls of the jail\, marking fleeting reflections cast by the surrounding environment.\n\nHead to the jail this Sunday for a culminating presentation of Joshua Moreno’s year long residency at Davenport Jail. This final vie wing highlights the work developed through an extended period of experiment ation and creative inquiry\, offering insight into the evolution of Moreno ’s practice over time.

Rock. Jazz-rock. Across more than four decades\, legendar y drummer Simon Phillips has shown an uncanny ability to excel in most any musical environment. Precision\, intensity\, and emotion are hallmarks of P hillips’ sound in every setting. Working with many of the world’s most prominent musicians from an early age\, he has repeatedly made his mark thr ough scores of historic recordings and tours around the globe.\n\nWhile the first Protocol release was in 1989\, Phillips’ compositions really began to gel with the Protocol II album in 2013. Protocol II was firmly establis hed as one of the truly great bands in jazz-rock history. Phillips toured e xtensively as leader in 2019\, celebrating Protocol’s 30th Anniversary an d playing tunes from each of the previous albums. 2022 saw the release of P rotocol V. The band features Ernest Tibbs on bass\, Otmaro Ruiz on keys\, P hillip Whack on saxophone\, and Alex Sill on guitar. Simon Phillips & Proto col 6 is a high energy ensemble with the Phillips signature that we’ve c ome to expect from the Protocol legacy.\n\nSimon Phillips Website\n\n(Ticke t Includes 5% City of Santa Cruz Admission Tax)\n\n.embed-container { posit ion: relative\; padding-bottom: 56.25%\; height: 0\; overflow: hidden\; max -width: 100%\; } .embed-container iframe\, .embed-container object\, .embed -container embed { position: absolute\; top: 0\; left: 0\; width: 100%\; he ight: 100%\; } URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/simon-phillips-protocol-v-2/ LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,jazz,live-music STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:ucsc-events:da14b135239a8df92263d654@santa-cruz-events.local DTSTAMP:20260601T060135Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260827T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260827T203000 SUMMARY:UCSC MEIP XXIII\, May 29\, 30\, and 31st\, at 7:00 PM in the Steven son Event Center-Performances in French\, Japanese and Spanish.

With Greyboy as producer\, provocateur\, and namesake for the new group\, they honed their take on the revolutionary funk of Grant Gr een\, Idris Muhammad\, and James Brown’s infamous J.B.’s. While Greyboy himself moved on to other projects\, the band preserved his visionary spir it\, with each Allstar contributing a legacy of their own. Saxophonist and flutist Karl Denson first turned heads playing on essential Lenny Kravitz a lbums Let Love Rule and Mama Said\, then led Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe. He’s toured as a member of The Rolling Stones since 2014 and appeared as the Sexual Chocolate sax player in Eddie Murphy’s iconic Coming to Ameri ca. Guitarist Michael Andrews—or Elgin Park\, if you prefer—is a noted film composer whose work on Donnie Darko (with his signature cover of Tears for Fears’ “Mad World”) remains central to its cult status. Keyboard ist Robert Walter leads Robert Walter’s 20th Congress\, and plays with Mi ke Gordon from Phish. Bassist Chris Stillwell and drummer Aaron Redfield ar e in-demand session standouts\, with credits alongside Sia\, Elton John\, C eeLo\, and Charli XCX.
