Their unique stew of “Bay Area Gumbo” melds the contemporary blues stylings of Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs; the songwriting sensibilities of Sons of Champlin and Fleetwood Mac; the swashbuckling Americana of the Lost Planet Airmen and Peter Rowan; and the funk of Sly Stone and Tower of Power with a dash of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane for flavor and unpredictability.

Cindy Kamm, for Whom ‘Painting Is a Means to Express My Passion for the Color, Design & Magic of the Natural World, Is Our Artist of the Month for November – Artwalk Is Nov. 5th, 5:30-7:30!
For Cindy Kamm, “painting is a means to express my passion for the color, design and the magic of the natural world that surrounds us.” “My intention is to use the canvas as a window to stimulate the imagination of the viewer by creating real and imagined landscapes. Much of my work is based on biological principals and images, with an eye towards connectivity and ecology. My years of observation as a naturalist and teacher of biology has helped me see and express these connections.
