The Ukiah Community Concert Association presents

John Reischman & The Jaybirds

A satisfying blend of traditional and modern styles, this is Bluegrass music at its best. Now in their 20th year, with seven acclaimed albums and two Juno nominations, the Jaybirds are simultaneously innovative and unadorned, sophisticated and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned and 21st-century contemporary. In addition to mandolinist and composer John Reischman, the Jaybirds consists of guitarist Patrick Sauber, brilliant lead vocalist Trisha Gagnon, Canadian banjo picker Nick Hornbuckle, and fiddle virtuoso Greg Spatz.

Tickets:

• Tickets are $25 for open seating and $30 for the “I wanna see the hands” section.
• Tickets will be available one month before the performance at the Mendocino Book Company in Ukiah, Mazahar in Willits, and through Brown Paper Tickets. If not completely sold out, tickets may be available at the door.

Featuring the works of Evan Hobart, Heather Law, and Kala Stein

The three artists featured in Mendocino College Gallery's latest exhibition create works that consider the implications of our human imprint on nature. Art that creates a deeper awareness of the environmental impact of our actions and inspires a shift toward more sustainable living is Heather Law's passion. 

Kala Stein works at the intersection of craft, design, and sustainability, exploring notions of beauty and loss in the natural world. 

Evan Hobart describes his work as, "A platform to discuss the past, present, and future, utilizing the intersection of humanity and nature to comment on modern-day life." He continues, "My work examines today's world and elaborates on many of its facets such as global climate change, politics, war, religion, society, over-development, and possibly the eventual extinction. Unpleasant as it is to confront some of these issues, it is the work (obligation) of the artist and teacher, now and in the past, to do so - in a creative and thought-provoking way." 

All three artists work primarily in the medium of ceramics.

Free and open to the public!
