Caroline Cotter // Angie Heimann
Feb

Caroline Cotter // Angie Heimann

Join us for a night of two amazing songwriters and storytellers, Caroline Cotter (on tour from Maine) and Angie Heimann (local favorite and member of the Blushin’ Roulettes.)

Caroline’s Cotter’s sunlit songs honor the countless ways of being human. With her honeyed voice and disarmingly honest lyrics, Cotter sings about connection, nostalgia, gratitude, loss and wanderlust. Lyrics like, “Find me somewhere out on the road / Take me into your heart and into your home,” make perfect sense from a touring artist who has played over 1000 shows in 45 states and 16 countries. She has performed at churches, art galleries, barns, yoga studios, punk bars, Parisian living rooms and even a schooner off the coast of Maine. Everywhere she goes, her oracular songs elicit emotion and spark insight—medicine for our collective longing.

Songwriter/guitaress/pianist/banjo-picker Angie Rose Heimann (of the Blushin’ Roulettes) writes earthy Americana folk songs and sagas of damsels in their bliss and distress in a stirringly delicate alto tinged with vibrato. The San Francisco Free Folk Festival called her songs  “stripped down, sexy little jewel boxes stuffed with ancient mountain magic.” Heimann’s songs tell the story of wildness and domestication, of deepening the well within while while rooting into life with family, community and the natural world. 

Doors at 5pm. Music at 6pm. Sliding scale cover $10-$30.

Beer, wine, soft drinks, and delicious food from chefs-in-residence Petite Precebes will be available for purchase.

Nefesh Mountain - "Beacons" Album Release Show // R.O. Shapiro

The New York based Progressive Americana group NEFESH MOUNTAIN has been hailed as one of the formative boundary-pushing ensembles in roots music. The band's creators and dynamic husband and wife team of Eric Lindberg and Doni Zasloff have created a world and sound all their own; blurring the lines between Americana, Bluegrass, Folk, Jazz and Blues with a masterful hand as songwriters, instrumentalists and composers alike. The band, declared “A Powerhouse Unit” by Rolling Stone and having "Introspective lyrics and world class musicianship” by American Songwriter, takes the listener on a deeply personal journey that embodies their own wild nature and unbridled free spirits,  bridging compositional prowess and prolific songwriting with deft instrumentals and jams.

Our own R.O. SHAPIRO will open the evening; a troubadour, a traveler peddling original tunes of love, loss, and social justice, carefully crafted and soulfully sung. A New Yorker, an Austinite, and now a Californian, he’s always on the lookout for new communities and stages where he can share his authentic warmth and wit.

The Sweet Old Souls // Back Porch Trio
Jan
18

The Sweet Old Souls // Back Porch Trio

Singing you those sweet old songs from a long-gone time, The Sweet Old Souls bring a blend of Jazz and Country music that can be light-hearted, bawdy and raucous, or sentimental. Playing vintage guitar, ukulele and fiddles, James and Suze have an old-world vibe and casual charm, sneaking in the occasional Celtic, Americana, and even Klezmer double-fiddle tunes. And if their hominess isn't evidenced in their music, they also travel with a rotating sample of their pantry, featuring homemade plum jam and Asian-pear butter from their little urban orchard in Portland, OR.

The Back Porch Trio has moved onto the indie folk scene in Northern California by playing regularly in and around Mendocino, Lake, and Sonoma County over the past six years. Upbeat rockers, plaintive ballads, funky, folky, or just plain fun, the they perform a collection of their own songs mixed with clever concepts of popular cover tunes. Rosie Wetzel (ukulele and vocals), Steve Hahm (acoustic guitar and vocals) and Jeff Taylor (bass) have known one another through different musical groups and combos for years now, and when they first brought their unique voices and instruments together on a hot July night on Jeff’s back porch kitchen to do some pickin’, they were pretty sure they had something special.

New Year’s Dance Party with Okie Weiss & the Zydeco Playboys, Deep Thicket Dwellers, and special guest Volena

Join us at this New Years Eve-adjacent event for a night of sweaty revelry and American Roots music.

Pete Okie Weiss (yes, his middle name is Okie) hails from Austin, Texas, where he played keys & accordion with local legends Gumbo Ce SoirThe Gritones, and Leo Rondeau. Now based out of Oakland, Okie has assembled a rhythm section featuring members of soul band Emily Day & the Knights and honky-tonkers The Country Business. The result is OKIE WEISS & THE ZYDECO PLAYBOYS, a new zydeco band that knows how to walk the soul-country line and keep that dance floor packed 'til closing time.

DEEP THICKET DWELLERS is a four-piece band rooted in Anchorage AK and Oakland CA, blending Bluegrass, Old-time, Gypsy Jazz, and John Hartford's spirit, with music orbiting around the fiddle. Their “Hillbilly Jazz” style brings mountain soul and improvisational warmth, reflecting their cross-coastal roots.

The night will feature a special short opening solo set from Brooklyn, NY-based VOLENA, the artist project of current Mendocino Arts Center resident Maddie Grandusky-Howe. Inspired by songwriters including Haley Heynderickx and Connie Converse, Volena's folk-rock songs explore internal and eternal conflicts between emotion and reaction.

Hanna Haas // Erisy Watt
Nov

Hanna Haas // Erisy Watt

Hanna Haas is a songwriter drawn to the dance of light and dark. Currently based in the Bay Area California, she has come to call the entire West Coast her home. Hanna describes her music as “contemplative folk,” identifying with artists Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and Feist for their alternate tunings and mesmerizing melodies. Inspired by environments in which she has inhabited, Hanna sings of the dramatic landscape of Big Sur, the California sun, and the vast and open Pacific Northwest sky. Hanna loves to engage her audiences in sweet story-telling and laughter, leaving her audience in a state of heart-felt introspection.

LA-based songwriter Erisy Watt just released her third album, not either or but everything, on October 4th via First City Artists. Described as “what contemporary folk sounds like at its peak” by No Depression, her music often draws comparisons to 60s singer-songwriters, but her new record—co-produced with Luke Temple (Adrianne Lenker, Hand Habits)—shakes loose from the tenets of decade or genre. Originally from Nashville and previously residing in Portland, Erisy now calls LA home but splits her time between there and Southeast Asia, where she works in environmental science—an aspect of her life that appears woven through her songs. Featuring stunning guitar work from Will Graefe (Maya Hawke) and drums by Kosta Galanopoulos, not either or but everything is out everywhere now—available for streaming or on vinyl.

Pat Byrne//R.O. Shapiro

Pat Byrne//R.O. Shapiro

An Irish singer-songwriter, Pat Byrne has come a long way since his first deal with Universal. In late 2017, Byrne began his migration to Austin, Texas. In 2019, Pat took the US by storm, with breakout performances at the 30A Festival, SXSW, Kerrville Folk Festival and the Americana Festival. Being immersed in the Texas music scene, Pat's sophomore US release, Into the Light, has an edgier feel underscoring both emotional depth and greater confidence, while blending new influences with his rich Irish heritage.

“When you combine the transcendent poetry of Bob Dylan with the gritty, real-world rock-n-roll storytelling that Bruce Springsteen made so famous, and then add a dash of the political activism embodied by Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, you’ll have Irish singer-songwriter Pat Byrne” — Folk Alley at the 30a Songwriters festival, Florida 2019

R.O. Shapiro is a new familiar fixture in the Mendocino Coast music scene, and at Good Bones in particular. He is a troubadour, a traveler peddling original tunes of love, loss, and social justice, carefully crafted and soulfully sung. A New Yorker, an Austinite, and now a Californian, he’s always on the lookout for new communities and stages where he can share his authentic warmth and wit.

Pat and R.O. are old friends from Austin, but this will mark only their second ever co-bill, coming hot on the tail of their first on November 8th at Hopmonk Tavern in Novato, presented by highly-regarded Bay Area promoter K.C. Turner. It’s a real treat to get Pat up to the coast, we hope you’ll join us for a night of heartfelt songs after the Third Annual Caspar Lantern Walk!

Doors at 5pm (or at conclusion of Lantern Walk). Music at 6pm. Sliding scale cover $10-$30.

Funny Bone Stand-Up Comedy Night
Nov

Funny Bone Stand-Up Comedy Night

Good Bones Kitchen hits your funny bone with our inaugural Funny Bones Comedy Night. Three headline comedians from the Bay Area provide an evening of laughter that will stimulate your perspectives and soothe your soul.

Headliner: Phil Johnson

Phil Johnson has an action-packed show filled with his two loves, comedy and music. It’s a show filled with sharp unexpected turns, sneak attack jokes, and hilarious songs that don’t shy away from controversial territory… race, sex, religion, and doughnuts – so many doughnuts – all delivered from the viewpoint of a guy who happily grew up in the deeply multi-everything community of the San Francisco Bay Area. Phil has been seen and heard at the Sundance Film Festival, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, on Sirius/XM, Bob and Tom radio, and Amazon Prime. He’s also released multiple comedy specials and albums filled with his colorful, tightly-written comedy.

Host: Ira Summer

Ira Summer has used his pain to make people laugh for over a decade. As an aging Baby Boomer growing up in a large dysfunctional family, he has a lot to share. Ira often talks about his sons, his siblings, and his mother (but never his ex-wife, because she will sense it). Ira has performed at clubs (and casinos and colleges and bars and conference rooms and laundromats and bowling alleys..) in 28 states, and can be heard on Sirius XM. He has been a finalist in the US Comedy Contest and The World Series of Comedy. Ira participated in the Oakland Comedy Festival, the Comedy Fringe Festival, the Portland Comedy Festival, the Burbank Comedy Festival and the Laughlin Laugh Fest.

Opener: Frankie Anne

Frankie Anne is a dynamic comedian and performer who recently opened on national headliner Mike Marino’s “Welcome to the Family” tour and for comedy legend Craig Shoemaker, aka The Lovemaster. She served as Producer/Director for Shoemaker's podcast Still Standing Up w/ Craig Shoemaker and was also a producer for Showtime’s Live Nude Comedy and various other TV and film productions. Frankie Anne has also dazzled audiences in Broadway comedy musical tours of West Side Story as Anita and Smokey Joe’s Café as Brenda. She’s also appeared in numerous TV and film roles and toured as a vocalist with iconic bands like Big Brother and The Holding Co. and on Barbara Streisand’s Timeless tour. With her sharp wit, east coast attitude, and background steeped in music, Frankie’s stand-up comedy is a unique blend of humor and raw storytelling. Her comedy delivers an entertaining and raw take on relationships, hilariously exposing encounters with the men in her life, like a serial predator and other unforgettable characters, making her performances relatable and entertaining.

Doors at 5pm. Show at 6pm. $20.

Deerlady

Deerlady

This show is presented in association with Xa Kako Dile: .

Yes you see that right, this show is the night of the Presidential Election. Go vote, and then come hang with Good Bones and Deerlady for a soothing combo of comfort food and badass music, instead of glueing yourself to your TV (we probably won’t get a final result until days later anyway!)

Deerlady is the indie rock project of Mali Obomsawin and Magdalena Abrego. On the duo’s debut albumGreatest Hits,” we feel tremors and transformations in a perfectly-crafted universe of experimental shoegaze. In eight songs, we witness a precious softness that emerges from seas of rage and heartache – a throughline of hope that seems to flower over a bedrock of anti-colonial collaboration. 

The album’s first single saw an early premiere on August 9, 2023 for what TV Guide has named the no. 1 Best TV Episode of 2023. “There There” is prominently featured in Episode 3 of the critically acclaimed third season of Reservation Dogs, and since its release, the song has been streamed nearly 120,000 times across streaming platforms.

Mali Obomsawin is a bassist, singer-songwriter and composer from Odanak First Nation. With a background in folk, rock, and experimental jazz, Obomsawin’s musical voice is singular and unshackled. Her debut album Sweet Tooth (Out of Your Head Records, 2022) garnered international acclaim and was named in ‘best of the year’ lists from GRAMMY.com, The Guardian, and JazzTimes. Prior to her auspicious debut in creative music, Obomsawin spent nearly a decade touring and writing with former folk-rock band Lula Wiles. She also performs regularly with collaborators Jake Blount and Julia Keefe, and mentors Taylor Ho Bynum, Bill Cole, and Peter Apfelbaum.


Magdalena Abrego is a guitarist, composer, and teaching artist based in Hudson, New York. Influenced by free jazz and punk, Magdalena’s approach to her instrument playfully confronts tradition and embraces queer experimentalism. Her compositions have been described as an “unpredictable musical journey” (Boston Hassle), both “blissful and beautifully erratic” (Boston Compass). Magdalena presently serves as a faculty member in the Contemporary Musical Arts program at the New England Conservatory. Her expertise has garnered invitations to deliver guest lectures and provide guidance to ensembles at esteemed music institutions throughout the Northeast, including Berklee College of Music and Dartmouth College.

Splendid Torch // Angie & Gwyneth
Nov

Splendid Torch // Angie & Gwyneth

Saturday, November 2nd Good Bones Kitchen offers an exceptional treat with two stellar groups; Splendid Torch, a touring bluegrass trio from the Boston area, and local favorites Angie Heimann & Gwyneth Moreland.

Splendid Torch dwells in spontaneity and synthesis, conjuring an unexpectedly broad sound from just three musicians. Comprised of multi-instrumentalists Lily Sexton (lead vocals, fiddle, guitar), Sean Davis (acoustic and electric guitar, vocals), and Josh Ballard (bass, clawhammer banjo), Splendid Torch calls on textured lyricism, collective rhythmic feel, and poignant vocal performances that evoke their varied influences, ranging from George Harrison to Emmylou Harris, The Band to John Hartford.

Guitaress and songwriter Angie Heimann, leader of the Blushin’ Roulettes, belts her stirring songs of damsels in their bliss and distress in a clarion vibrato often likened to Iris Dement. Gwyneth Moreland’s gift for open-hearted storytelling perfectly suits the modern art of folk music. Her remarkable range and supple tones are the result of an exceptional talent and years of experience as a vocalist. Joining this spectacular duo will be Cas Sochacki on bass.

The doors open at 6:00 PM, and the music starts at 7:00 PM.

The Lucky Losers
Oct
19

The Lucky Losers

The Lucky Losers’ music is a throwback to the hybrid of soul, blues, rock, gospel, and country that emerged in the late 1960’s with impassioned vocal performances, electrifying musical interplay, and powerful harmonica.

Described as “the finest female blues vocalist in the U.S” [Real Blues - 2010], fiery Dallas-born entertainer Cathy Lemons has a velvet voice with a gritty edge and the rebel conviction of a woman risen from the ashes. New Jersey native Phil Berkowitz "has earned renown as one of the West Coast’s most distinctive harp players, as well as for his sharp, resonant tenor" [Living Blues - 2018]. The stark contrast between incandescent Lemons and elegant Berkowitz makes for a captivating musical union, breathing new life into American songwriting tradition and the vanishing art of duet singing.

Jean Rohe // Sadie Gustafson-Zook
Oct
15

Jean Rohe // Sadie Gustafson-Zook

Join us for a night with two brilliant touring singer-songwriters!

Jean Rohe (ROW) writes one-of-a-kind narrative songs, concerned as much with the interior lives of her narrators as with the sociopolitical forces that shape them. She is perhaps best known for “National Anthem: Arise! Arise!” an aspirational alternative national anthem which spread via word-of-mouth and has now been performed hundreds of times by artists and choirs across the US. Her personal and timely song “Animal” won the Kerrville New Folk songwriting contest in 2022, and her long list of awards is a testament to the breadth of her vision, spanning prizes in roots music, song craft, lyric writing, theater arts, social-justice work, jazz performance, and arts education.

Equally at home as a solo performer or collaborator, her recent projects include a record with her duo, Robinson & Rohe (“Into the Night,” Righteous Babe, 2023) and a forthcoming album with the Brooklyn-based collaborative quartet Eureka Shoes (“Beautalina,” Adhyâropa, 2024). Her work-in-progress performance memoir, "74 Corridor,” is supported by the Brooklyn Arts Council. She lives in Brooklyn. 

"Not only does she make astoundingly beautiful music but she is thoughtful, reflective, and courageous." - No Depression

With a pure and agile voice reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, Midwest-based artist Sadie Gustafson-Zook’s hummable melodies balance with witty lyrics and intricate guitar playing to create charmingly honest and relatable music. A skilled performer, Sadie’s writing tackles internal and taboo subjects while holding the audience with warmth and levity. Sadie’s songs have been endorsed by some of the most respected songwriting contests in the country, winning the Acorn Theatre's 2024 Singer Songwriter Competition, Kerrville Folk Festival’s 2022 New Folk Contest (as well as placing as a finalist in 2020), earning second place at the Rocky Mountain Folk Fest’s Songwriter Showcase, and winning first place at the 2022 NewSong + LEAF Songwriting Contest. On Sadie’s most recent album “Where I Wanna Be” (2024), Sadie takes the listener along on an intimate analog-recorded journey as she decides where to call home.

“She uses her voice with the precision of an instrument, leaping between registers and outlining jazz chords, all with grace and ease, never in a gratuitous, showy manner.” - No Depression

The music is swing and jazz standards, vaudeville, and bluesy originals -- all distinguished by syncopation and stomp.

They call our music “industrial ragtime,” approaching the music of the last century through their own high-energy lens. Everything they do is firmly under the flag of great entertainment -- lead by their engaging lead singer Melina Selverston. The fun and excitement of this music is infectious.

It's vaudevillian in its delivery, dark and soaring at once - SFFunCheap.com

Doors at 6pm. Music at 7pm. $20.

Beer, wine, soft drinks, and delicious coastal comfort food from the kitchen will be available for purchase.

Blair Borax // Queer Country

Join us for an exciting night of alternative Americana and Country!

With a distinctive voice and a thoughtful way of songwriting, Portland’s indie folk singer-songwriter, Blair Borax sings honest and emotive songs that bring you to the heart of being human and make you feel less alone.

Born on the East Coast, and home to the West, Blair Borax’s musical journey began unexpectedly in 2016, when a friend gifted her a cheap guitar. Since then, Borax has become a prolific songwriter, recording artist, and performer, known for her distinctive voice, captivating melodies, and thoughtful songwriting that taps into the heart of being human. Since she quit her day job in 2022,  she has released two full length albums and played over 300 shows across the country.  With more sophisticated songwriting, a newfound confidence in fingerpicking guitar, and a move towards dynamic acoustic folk production, her latest record, “Tender Lately” (2024),  offers gentle reminders to quiet the inner critic, find joy in the small things, and embrace the precious brevity of our time on Earth.

Joining Blair on the bill are local up-and-comers Queer Country. With deep roots on the north coast, Queer County isn’t just a band—they are a community. Matt, Cinnamon, Quinn, and Abraham blend folk, alt-country, and indie to define a brand new sound and space for you. Bring along your feelings... leave behind your assumptions... all are welcome in QUEER COUNTRY.

Doors at 6pm. Music at 7pm. $20.

2nd Hand Grass

2nd Hand Grass with Gene Parsons is a unique North Coast jewel that sparkles brightly with modern takes on traditional and popular contemporary songs that make you slap your leg and dance with joy.

What started out in 2018 as a bluegrass jam session with a couple local players eventually grew into the exciting Americana band we know and love today. As new members joined the group, they added new sounds and perspectives, allowing the band to explore and blend many genres while still staying true to their bluegrass roots. Gene Parsons, our resident music legend, who played with The Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Nashville West, and many others, joined this creative collaboration a few years ago adding his experience, and musical hijinks.

Today, 2nd Hand Grass’ music is something borrowed, something blue, and always new with:

Brian Urban: Lead Vocals, banjo, and guitar

Sam Arintok: Lead and backup vocals, drums, percussion

Dan Coulson: Bass

Morgan Daniel: Vocals, StringBender guitar

Gene Parsons: Vocals, pedal steel guitar

Doors at 6pm. Music at 7pm. $20 in advance, $25 at the door.

Beer, wine, soft drinks, and delicious coastal comfort food from the kitchen will be available for purchase.

Frankie and The Lost Souls

Frankie and The Lost Souls

Frankie and the Lost Souls is an indie folk-rock band founded by wife and husband duo Erica and Sebastian in 2009 as Frankie and the Bass, a basement suite hobby that grew organically from their mutual lifelong love of music and live performance. The band has evolved from performing classic campfire covers at open mics and busking on street corners to a creative tour-de-force bringing to life Erica’s folk and country-inspired originals.

The addition of Lynkse on lead guitar has elevated the group’s sound with melodic riffs that hint at a nostalgia for a 90s and early 00s pop-rock soundscape that enrich narrative-driven lyrics exploring heartbreak and love, mental health, conflict, and the overall unresolved nature of the human condition.

Doors at 6pm. Music at 7pm. $10.

Beer, wine, soft drinks, and delicious coastal comfort food from the kitchen will be available for purchase.
