UP FIRST: The Krelkins are a San Francisco music group featuring Mike Marrelli on guitar, Chris Wayan on keys, Nic Griffin on percussion and keys. and, often, Eric Gross on drums. The songs, all written by Chris and Mike, are quirky, thoughtful and humorous. We play mixed genres from folk to rock to blues to classical, and we have a fine time doing it.
THIRD UP, HERE’S JONNY: Jonny Domino, native son of the tobacco farms and blue crab marshes of Maryland, became a bluesman one winter day in 1956. While accompanying his mother on a shopping trip to D.C. he heard the wailing of a 12-string acoustic guitar and harmonica being played by an old black woman sitting in a homemade wooden wagon. She needed the wagon to get around as she had no legs from the knees down. The music grabbed little Jonny by the collar and dragged it to its hypnotic tones, then it kissed him. He had been chosen, or abducted, by the blues. That day a little 5-year- old boy had walked into a crowd on a wintry sidewalk listening to a street busker play for change but walked out a Bluesman. Singer/songwriter Jonny Domino has told his stories and what he calls his "musical mini movies" to audiences from coast to coast and Europe for many years. Come listen to his movies, won't you?
AND AFTER THE KRELKINS: Wrob, the poet laureate of Antarctica, is a comedy blues ukulele singer-songwriter. He plays acoustic, electric, banjolele, and death metal kazoo, swinging from silly to searing to sweet.

IN THE “CLEAN UP” POSITION, YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS IMAR: Originally from the border of Sonora, Mexico and Arizona, IMAR taught himself to play guitar in order to turn his poems and complex emotions into melodies he could sing as release therapy. Imar’s music is about honest emotions and aims to be, if anything, vulnerable.
BRING IT HOME!: AnotherMay is an English/Spanish Indie-pop band founded by Brett and Lalo in 2018. What originally was Eduardo working with Brett to make songs about a failed friendship turned into a four-man indie-pop band with a mix of synths and guitars. Through their two albums, AnotherMay’s songs have themes ranging from love to coming of age. AnotherMay’s upcoming album delves deeper into the topics of shifting from a young adult to someone approaching their 30s, and the anxieties that come into this time of life.
