While I was out picking up lunch at Angelina’s, I noticed a bunch of colorful flyers in the windows of The Bazaar Cafe, located at 5927 California Street, between 21st & 22nd Avenues. The poster was for Bazaar-Stock, a day long music festival being held at this small neighborhood cafe and gallery.
From 10:30am to 11pm on Saturday (12.5 hours!), 28 performers will take the stage/platform/chair to perform. The headline act is Jerry Hannan, best known for his songs “Society” and “I Thought I Was You” that were used in the film Into the Wild. Hannan will perform at 8:45pm. See the full list of performers and schedule or stop by the event page on MySpace to hear more of the artists that will be performing.
The event is organized by another local musician, K.C. Turner, who according to his bio, typically hosts “house concerts” around the Bay Area to treat music fans to some unplugged goodness in the intimacy of a living room. The vibe will be similar at The Bazaar where space is at a premium. But this is a good thing for the kind of musicians that will be playing. Real music by real musicians in an intimate setting – I applaud it.
On top of all this audio goodness is the price – free. That’s right, no cover charge. So stop by, enjoy the music, and partake in some of The Bazaar’s tasty food and beverage.
Here’s a video of K.C. telling us more about the event (I know, he looks 16 but he’s 26 years old!). I recommend FF’ing to the :45 mark for the good stuff:
