Sacramento Folk

Sacramento has a folk scene? I checked out the Sac Music Award's folk showcase on Saturday night and was treated to a great night of music at Marilyns on K Street. All of the bands were great and Marilyns is a nice small venue with a full bar and a good soundsytem. Good times.

And now Monday is here and I'm not sad to be back at work so long as the air conditioning holds out. Our roofers were lined up to fill their water coolers this morning. Staying hydrated in this weather is a must. Here's your list of houses we're currently working on.

Jazz Jubillee?

My fiance and I made our way to the bike trail and passed through the Sacramento Jazz Jubillee to get there. We heard some Zydeco, some blues, some watered down rock and roll but no Jazz? We had a great ride, the American River bike trail really is one of Sacramento's greatest treasures.
On the way home, we once again went through the "Jazz" festival. It was three hours since we'd passed originally. Still no Jazz. I used to go the jubillee every year with my dad, and I didn't mind a little blues and whatever else here and there, but I worry that the Jubillee, in trying to court a new generation of fans is losing it's focus. What's next? Are they going to invite the living members of the Grateful Dead to curate next years event? Ah well, at least nobody is tearing up the bike trail to put in a parking lot.
