  • Laundry & Bourbon with Lonestar

    Laundry and Bourbon with Lonestar, two companion one act plays set in backyards of a small Texas town. Three ladies come together to talk about their life's ups and downs. Lonestar follows the life of three small town boys and the events that have shaped them. Both shows give us highs & lows with humor spread around, for good measure.

    Mario y Su Timbeko

    Led by singer/songwriter/percussionist Mario “Mayito” Salomon, Bay Area combo Timbeko is one of the greatest Stateside practitioners of timba – Cuba’s homegrown variation on salsa that combines the dominant Latin American style with Son Cubano, jazz, funk, and soul. The band rules its region, earning high profile gigs and collaborations with top Cuban acts like Los Van Van and Yordys Larrazabal, lead singer of Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayor. Bearing new single “Llego Lo Que Tu Esperabas,” Timbeko ventures out to Austin’s most elegant jazz club, with Cuban motion to spare.
