sacramento this week: perfect love, twice

“I’m about to pick up a won­der­ful soul from the air­port. He is the head­lin­er of our Thurs­day show at Colo­nial Cafe …”
—David Loret de Mola

 

There are two dis­tinct mo­ments in mu­sic dis­cov­ery that I re­mem­ber over every­thing else. The first time I heard Wu-Tang’s Tri­umph and the first time I heard Bob Mar­ley and the Wail­ers’ Trench­town Rock.

Mar­ley said
“One good thing about mu­sic … when it hits you feel no pain”
and I knew this to be truer than any­thing I’d heard up to my life at that point.

Fast for­ward a cou­ple decades and I’ve been adopt­ed by one of The Wail­ers and been lucky enough to hear and feel the sto­ries first hand of Trench­town, the depths that mu­sic came from, and what those words meant.

Dr. De­von I. Evans is a mas­ter drum­mer, mu­si­col­o­gist, orig­i­nal mem­ber of The Wail­ers, Mar­cus Gar­vey People’s Par­ty po­lit­i­cal can­di­date, and liv­ing rev­o­lu­tion­ary.

He is com­ing back to Sacra­men­to for a few days in Feb­ru­ary and we’ve put to­geth­er two spe­cial nights of per­for­mances, a Q&A on the 13th and a per­for­mance at a fundrais­er for our un­housed neigh­bors on Valentine’s.

I can’t wait for you all to meet the el­der.

 

Thurs­day 13 Feb­ru­ary 2020:

 

 

A new take on Valentine’s Day where we love on our com­mu­ni­ty – come share the love for our most mar­gin­al­ized neigh­bors, for my non-prof­it En­gAGE, Inc., and for our guests at Sac Safe Space for Un­homed Youth.

I promise a leg­endary night. No date nec­es­sary.

 

Fri­day 14 Feb­ru­ary 2020:

#Com­mu­ni­ty­IsAVerb
#En­gag­ingNeigh­bors
#LoveThyNeigh­bor
