May 21 | 7-9pm: Conjunto Guarajuba

Conjunto Guarajuba plays Brazilian Popular Music (MPB). A genre that defies easy categorization that emerged in the 60s and 70s. What characterizes MPB in the most general sense, is an originality of composition that may diversify samba, the traditions of northeastern Brazil, Afro-Bahian folklore, and international styles. The prime singer-songwriters of MPB are Chico Buarque, Djavan, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Milton Nascimento and Jorge Ben.

June 04 | 6:30-8:30pm: Matt Jaffe

After cutting his teeth on open mics around the Bay Area, San Francisco songwriter Matt Jaffe was discovered by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads. Together, they produced his first album at the age of 16, cementing Matt's dedication to music. Soon, he formed a band, dropped out of college, and has not looked back. Since then, Matt has written more songs than he can remember the words to, crisscrossed the country opening for Mavis Staples and Wilco, and co-written with Tom Higgenson of the Plain White T's. Inspired by the great lineage of rock n' roll, he marries literary lyrics with the undeniable urge to dance. Having suffered from seizures since 2015, Matt also uses his music to unite local and national epilepsy communities. Matt is currently rolling out his fourth and fifth albums, Undertoad and Kintsugi.
