Sure do – the directions you receive the day before concert show MUSICIAN”S parking from the 2nd driveway; use that but let me know you are coming so I can meet you and show you specifically where to park in the musician’s area. It’s a level walk/ride from there to the backyard and you can sit in shade. Best to arrive a little earlier, round 1:15. Please join us and enjoy the afternoon. If for some reason you wish to be able to conveniently limit your time here by arriving later, say, just for the headliners, just let us know; use the contact form: http://www.backyardjazz.com/contact/. Should you need to arrive later, we can be sure to save seating in level shade. You are more than welcome here. Cheers,
gerry

We really enjoyed this refreshing and original group! I hope you invite Michael Smolens back again often. This fresh and creative music is what we need more of in Sonoma county.

Yeah, the band was terrific, really glad I was there. I also loved Heather’s magic and the pairing of her performance with the Hafiz poem. It was extremely original and effective. The whole day was terrific! I hope Earplay will be playing again.

I almost didn’t make it but Gerry and Alastair Ingram, one of the deans of sax in Sonoma County said I just had to. Oh, so glad am I because I LOVED the group, the most innovative, creative bunch of folks…and when I learned that Smolens studied with Art Lande, it fell into place. As I told him, I began channeling Lande about half-way through the set. They did music based on Brazilian samba, some African material, and best of all, an Indian rage with tablas.
Gerry did a really good thing by going out a bit on a limb. More and more, I am trusting his judgment. If he books them, they’re going to be good!
