Rothschild Performing Arts Center, 500 Saratoga Ave., San Jose, CA

The Tropicales bring a 1950s Caribbean hotel party to life with torrid horns, tropical rhythms and infectious grooves. With a nod to New Orleans’ history as the northernmost port of the Caribbean, The Tropicales perform music from Trinidad and Venezuela, Martinique and Guadeloupe, and other destinations along the archipelago.
A fixture of the Crescent City's traditional jazz and Frenchmen Street scene, The Tropicales entertain regularly at festivals and clubs around the city. Frontman Charlie Halloran has released five albums under his own name, and made countless records alongside U2, Rickie Lee Jones, Trombone Shorty, the Squirrel Nut Zippers, John Boutte, Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns, Pokey Lafarge and Luke Winslow King. Additionally, Charlie’s horn is in the background on plenty of episodes of NCIS New Orleans, Treme, and other films and television programs produced in New Orleans. Charlie is a familiar face to everyone at the New Orleans Jazz &amp; Heritage Festival where he often performs more than 10 times a year alongside traditional jazz legends, plus Jon Cleary, Allen Toussaint, Calexico, the O'Jays, Irma Thomas, and many more.

Brothers Reed</a>

With
their comedic brotherly banter, blood-harmony vocals, and widely
varying influences, a Brothers Reed performance will have you
reflecting on lost lives and lovers, laughing hysterically and
leaving completely entertained.
 
Brothers
Reed Website <a href="https://www.thebrothersreed.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.thebrothersreed.com/</a> 

Whether
they are finger picking their way through a lamentable ballad or
bringing you 'round full-speed with a barn-burning bluegrass number,
The Brothers Reed are masters of their craft. 
 



Despite
their brotherhood, Aaron and Phil Reed didn’t start playing music
together until 2014. Their
style evokes fingerpicking folksingers of the 60’s—70’s with a
contemporary and boundless edge. Cultivated
from years of performing in bands ranging from heavy metal to reggae
and rock, punk, country, and funk, their
musical dichotomy is at the root of their diverse yet seamless
folk-brand.
 



The
Brothers Reed have quickly risen to regional renown and tour
extensively throughout the U.S. With five studio albums released—Sick
As Folk, 2015; Monster In My Head, 2016;
Three, 2018; Caught in a Dream,
2019; and the latest The Wheres and the Whatnots, 2022.
And through an exhaustive tour schedule that includes nearly 300
shows per year, The Bros are not slowing down!

 


Fully
hosted garden concert provides all guests seating, shade
umbrellas, refreshments, gender-neutral restroom, easy parking.
BYOB/picnic? OK! Kids welcome, we have quiet toys. 

 



Tickets—QR
code to Artist, $25/seat &amp; your email for Dala's guest list +
more info before the show.
 Cash donations
accepted, if seating allows. For more info email

Please join us in learning more about this important period in American history. The film will be presented on Sept 18, 19 and 20 at 6pm, and on Sept 21 at 1pm.

The program, lasting 75 minutes, will be presented Saturday September 21 at 7:30 pm, at Menlo College where Saint Mike are resident artists. The concert is free of charge (donations welcome), but email: boxoffice@saintmichaeltrio.org to reserve seats 
In another of their patented “informances” the Saint Michael Trio will explore the music of Robert Schumann (1810-1856), pianist and composer who ushered in the early Romantic period.
Using his epoch-making E-flat Major Piano Quartet, Saint Mike will unpack Schumann’s compositional devices and identify his musical DNA. They will also place the composer in the context of his time and circumstances, from his celebrity marriage to Clara Wieck (“the belle of Europe”), to his ruinous experimentation with skeletal-muscular therapy, to his ultimate unraveling at the age of 46.

The Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society’s premier fundraising event and happens in cities around the nation. Our local Relay is the Relay for Life of Mid-Peninsula you can Donate Today! This year’s Relay involves an old-time car show, as well as two classic rock bands, a raffle and dinner provided by Menlo Park Firefighter Association. At dusk we light luminaria in a beautiful ceremony, and then our closing ceremony will start at 9pm or a little later. The Dinner is for all the volunteers who make the event happen.

The Relay for Life in Menlo Park will benefit the American Cancer Society (ACS). This year the Relay is being held Saturday, September 28th at Burgess Park.
Our Association and district are continuing its support by hosting the dinner on Saturday night around 6 P.M. The plan is to get the event catered and all are welcome to stop by to eat around that time, while supplies last for all the volunteers who make this event happen. ENGINE 2 from Menlo Park Fire will also join the Car show with the theme Road to recovery. The event will be going on from 2-10 so if rigs, personnel, or district employees want to stop by to show support they can walk a few laps, donate, or stay for dinner. I know it would be much appreciated by the ACS organizers, and the local community.
This money is very gratefully received by the American Cancer Society to provide for a full spectrum of amazing benefits for all of us like cancer research and new &amp; improved treatments and also to do things that directly benefit a cancer patient like emotional support, wigs, rides to treatment for patients and lodging near treatment for families.
The Relay is a big undertaking and a huge benefit to the ACS. If you would like to donate for this walk or just would like more information on it please see attached flyer and event link below. If you have any questions, please contact me and I can put you in contact with an event organizer. This year’s theme is Road to Recovery, which is an American Cancer Society program in which volunteers give rides to cancer patients. ACS will be having a car show to tie in with the theme, so it should be a fun time, and you can enter your car for free. (Attached Flyer)

This year’s Relay involves an old-time car show, as well as two classic rock bands, a raffle and dinner provided by Menlo Park Firefighter Association. At dusk we light luminaria in a beautiful ceremony, and then our closing ceremony will start at 9pm or a little later.
The car show officially starts at 2pm with the Relay, and they’ll be parked in the lot on Alma closest to Burgess. It is free. We will walk right by/through it on our Relay. They’ll want to take their cars home before dark, so they’ll probably eat and run.
Dedicate a Luminaria ( <a href="https://secure.acsevents.org/site/SPageServer?pagename=relay_luminaria&amp;PROXY_TYPE=21&amp;PROXY_ID=108312&amp;fr_id=108312&amp;search=event" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://secure.acsevents.org/s...</a> )
Luminarias honor every life touched by cancer. You can dedicate them to a loved one lost, someone currently battling, or anyone who’s overcome it. When you attend a Relay event, you’ll see the Luminarias decorated with names and sometimes messages to the people they’re dedicated to.
After dark, Relay participants share an emotional moment when each Luminaria is lit in remembrance of a life touched by cancer. Together, we take a moment of silence to remember the loved ones they’re dedicated to. When you make a donation for a Luminaria it helps fund the American Cancer Society’s mission to help save lives.
