Chunky knit blankets are all the rage lately and you'll be surprised how easy they are to make! The hand knitting technique is a life long skill that is therapeutic, meditative and fun. NEW: You may now choose your yarn amount! Are you coming just to learn the technique and only want one skein to practice on? We’ve got you! For blanket making, please view the photo below to see a rough estimate of what a blanket using 4 skeins (standard) looks like, 5 skeins, 6 skeins...etc. DISCLAIMER: Final blanket dimensions vary based on each individual's knitting gauge (ie., if you knit tight, your blanket will be smaller and more compact than someone who knits looser). Table space diminishes as blankets get larger. You are welcome to bring a small pillow or yoga mat to sit on, should you choose to move to the floor for more space as your blanket gets taller. Bags will not be provided. If you don't wish carry your project, we encourage you to bring a large tote to carry your blanket and any working yarn home in. We will be in touch a few days prior to the event to share our color options. […]

Thursday, April 23, 2026 $36 Advance | $38 Day of Show Doors 7pm | Show 8pm Multiple award-winning guitarist, vocalist, and bandleader Tommy Castro is a California-based blues and rock powerhouse. For over four decades, he’s captivated audiences with his soul-drenched vocals, searing guitar work, and high-energy live shows. As frontman of the telepathically tight and wildly raucous Tommy Castro & The Painkillers, he’s released 17 albums that span a wide stylistic range—from horn-driven R&B and hot-blooded soul to gritty, stripped-down rock and electric blues. With his latest and eighth Alligator Records release, Closer To The Bone, Castro returns to his roots, delivering what he calls “a real blues record, the way they would have made them back in the day.” Produced by guitar master Christoffer “Kid” Andersen at San Jose’s Greaseland Studio, the album is Castro’s rawest and most direct blues effort to date. The album features standout originals like Ain’t Worth The Heartache, Can’t Catch A Break, and Crazy Woman Blues, alongside deep-cut covers of songs by Castro’s friends and influences—Johnny Nitro, Magic Slim, Ron Thompson, Chris Cain, and more. Guest appearances include Rick Estrin, Billy Branch, Deanna Bogart, Chris Cain, Jim Pugh, and gospel harmonies from The Sons Of The Soul […]
