Fresno Flyer Vol 4 No 8 by Fresno Flyer

EDITOR’S NOTE I like to talk a big game - or at least it seems that way. For more than a few of these notes, I’ve made grand claims about what this magazine is supposed to (and hopefully will) achieve. If you’ve been reading us a while, then you know what I’m talking about. But for those just tuning in: our goal for the Flyer is to be the connective thread that helps weave a more cohesive, unified, eclectic quilt that is the Central Valley’s culture. It would achieve that by telling the stories and covering the issues important to each community. However, it’s only half the work to talk about it. The other half is follow-through. This is where you come in. Yes, you. The (aspiring) writer, reporter, critic, the person with a love for words, and a passion for seeing the community rise up to its potential. And you live in Reedley, Fowler, Madera, Oakhurst, Sanger, or any of the surrounding cities that rub shoulders with Fresno or Clovis. You see, we can’t be a connective thread without representing each corner of the Valley on our pages. But to do that, we need writers. I wish I could be in every municipality at once, dissecting city council meetings and crawling through the underground scene to discover all the savage talent there. Howev-

er, you know as well as I know, that’s impossible. I need eyes and ears on the ground, willing to put it all down in words. “But Lisa, I don’t have any experience.” Pish, posh. Everyone has to start somewhere. I’m more than happy to coach you through the process, show you how and where to begin. All I need from you is motivation and determination. If you have the will and the grace to receive a little constructive criticism along the way, you’re already set up for success. It’s important to me that the Flyer maintains an authentic and diverse voice, one that is more interested in the story of communities than glorifying a self-driven opinion. There is an array of topics that could be considered part of the Valley’s culture that is both perceived as good i.e., sports, agriculture, music, arts. As well as those that are deemed bad like unemployment, food deserts, economic disparities, and homelessness. It’s a lot of work to stay on top of it all and I can’t do it on my own – I need a team, I need you. My email is listed above this note and the office number can also receive texts. If you have questions, concerns, or want to learn more about becoming a contributor, please get in touch. I’d love to hear from you.

MY JOB DEPENDS ON TÚ By I. smiley G. Calderón | smileygcalderon@gmail.com

he mere mention of Ag Day here in the Central Valley often invites warm thoughts of friends and family - because agriculture is such a big part of where we live. This year’s National Ag day falls on Tuesday, March 24th, during the March 22nd-28th National Ag Week organized by the Agriculture Council of America (ACA). The state of California is celebrating a week earlier with its own “California Agriculture Day” on Wednesday, March 18th, just before the first day of spring on March 19th. It’s a perfect time to not only appreciate and celebrate our partnership with Mother Nature but to also recognize our reliance and interconnectivity with one another. Let’s face it, whether we want to accept it or not, big business Ag wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the small-town folk fueling its industry. All of the advanced farming technology and machinery in the world wouldn’t amount to a thing if it weren’t for the good, hardworking people behind it the human capital. When we think of farmers and what it means to be a farmer, images of humble, hardworking guys in denim overalls or jeans with dirty, worn hands come to mind. To the everyday American, a farmer is an individual who personally works and cultivates the land. Someone who gets his hands dirty for a living and who earns his modest salary outside with sweat and grit. It’s not an easy living - but it’s an honest one, they say. But is that really what a farmer is here in today’s Central Valley? In the valley, a “farmer” usually means a groomed, well-dressed business owner with local power, influence, money, and someone who is predominantly white. They’re also not typically the guys planting and picking outside under the burning sun for countless hours a day. But, if not them - then who? Who are our real food heroes getting their hands dirty for us in the fields and bringing food to our tables? Well, if I called them farmers, you wouldn’t believe me. Instead, they’re called “farmworkers.” A lesser status. A farmworker, also called a fieldworker, is just a guy who picks a plant or plants a seed. (In Spanish, they’re called Campesinos) But, the significance here is they›re the ones actually doing the work - at the very nexus of production - where hands meet soil. These are the ones who are literally “farming” – here in the Central Valley (and probably everywhere else in

the U.S.), “farmer” is synonymous with “business owner.” But, for this year’s Ag week, I want to focus on the ones who are farming - the ones toiling the long grueling hours in inclement weather to plant and harvest the food that we buy. They are poor. They are Brown. They are Latino. Many are undocumented, uneducated, uninsured - but grateful, hopeful, hardworking, and thankful. To get a taste of things firsthand, I went out to the fields to work for a day. My neighbors are farmworkers, and I figured that, if they could do it, it must not be too hard. Plus, I like oranges. But I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I t was one of the roughest days of my life. There was a gentleman named Leopoldo Santos. But no one ever called him that. You would think that his nickname would be “Leo.” But, you’d be wrong. Everyone calls this guy “Polo.” He’s a veteran Campesino. And he’s fast at picking oranges. There’s a correct way to do it, by the way. You can’t just pull the oranges from the tree. You have to cut it with a special snipping tool, careful not to accidentally open up the peel - or else they quickly go bad and are not sold. And while you’re grabbing the branches with one hand and trying to hold and cut the orange with the snips in the other hand, you need to make sure you’re balancing yourself on the ladder, so you don’t fall. And once you free an orange from its woody umbilical cord, you immediately throw it in the thick body satchel that you’re wearing. After carrying what feels like a ton of oranges on your person while vigorously picking for more, you’re exhausted. But you can’t stop | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

now. You need to dump your bag of oranges into the huge cardboard bin so that the forklifts can run through and move them out of the orchard - you know so that you can start all over. Some workers get paid “por contracto” - or by contract, that is, who get paid for how much they pick. And other workers get paid by the hour, take protected breaks and a short lunch during the workday. Typically, you make more money when you work by contract. This is why Polo and others have adapted themselves to become superhuman orange-picking machines - a sight to behold, for sure. They put me to shame. I spent the whole day picking oranges in the heat without any breaks and barely filled up only one container. And, when I finally did, I felt so embarrassedly proud of myself. It was pathetic. I think Polo filled like 5 containers himself - I was too exhausted to keep count. All I know is that I came home with only $20, and he had over $100. I was so tired. While in the orchard, I was amazed at just how fast and strong the women were. They’d pick like 10 oranges for my every one - all the while smirking at me. What really impressed me, though, was how they wore and carried their full satchels - some of these women did not seem much heavier than a bag full of oranges themselves. Their strength amazed me. Yet, they often get the short end of the stick. I’ll tell you why. Out in the fields, there are no “normal” restrooms - only porta-potties, the mobile bathrooms that construction workers and festival-goers typically use. In the field, these “restrooms” are, more often than not, disgusting and dirty, in need of empty-

ing and cleaning. They are so bad sometimes that guys won’t even go inside to use them. Instead, they’d rather just find a hidden spot between trees and pee outside than suffocating in the toxic fumes of a filthy and hot plastic box. But the ladies can’t do that. They are discreet and modest - if they need to use the restroom, they have to use the porta-potties, no matter the condition. Can you imagine having to sit inside a smelly, dirty porta-potty at your job in order to use the restroom in privacy - every day? I didn’t think so. So, in appreciation of Ag Week, wouldn’t it be great if our farmers could make sure that their porta-potties were cleaned and emptied regularly? Wouldn’t it be great if the harvesters, the handlers of our food and agriculture had a clean place to use the restroom? Polo was an interesting guy, and we got to talking while on a break. I guess he’s been working in agriculture his whole life - his entire life - even back in Mexico. He told me he came up here for the opportunity to get paid. Where he’s from, Hermosillo, Sonora, the agriculture sector is so poor that Campesinos work the whole day and make barely enough to buy dinner. Sometimes, when things are bad, workers don’t even get paid at all. It’s no way to live, Polo tells me. One of our other friends, Roberto, chimes in (in Spanish, of course): “There’s no balance - no balance.” So, the idea of getting paid for a long, honest day of hard labor - even if in the scorching heat or freezing morning - always on your feet constantly picking and pulling, bending over and lifting up - engulfed in pesticides - this idea was great. And, it’s turned out well for him and many other honest, hardworking immigrants. But, he said, the life is hard. I asked him, “Don’t you love it, though - isn’t agriculture your passion?” (I asked him this because he was telling me how he knew every phase and detail of planting and harvesting - and everything in between - from his Ag days in Mexico and his many years up here in Fresno). He looked at me firmly and said, “Of course I love it - it’s my work - but…do you think I’m doing this because I love it? If I were educated and could do anything else to pay the bills, I would!” “It’s a hard life, man!” he told me. Polo starts to tell me how his

...‘Job Depends’ cont’d from pg 3 typical day goes. The first thing he tells me is that you need to know where you’re going. Apparently, every day/week, or whenever a new farm has a field that needs work, it gets contracted to a guy called the Contratista. In essence, this contract guy is the one who gets the deal from the farmer (businessman), and who has Supervisors below him. Further down the ladder are the Mayordomos (managers), and below them, a whole lot of eager Campesinos ready to work. Eager Campesinos like Polo, who finally gets word by text from someone higher in his farmworker hierarchy about where the next job is. They talk briefly by phone to confirm the pick-up time - 4:30 am. That means he has to be up by 3:30 am to get ready, eat breakfast, and make lunch, Polo tells me. There’s a bunch of people to pick up - he’s not the only one. And then the long ride to the farm site. They finally all arrive at “the office” at around 7 am, when they start their grueling day. But, Polo tells me that the air quality can be terrible and that, in the past, he has even walked off of job sites when he sensed that pesticide levels were too high to be working. The tough manual work of lifting and bending and stretching - it takes a significant toll on your body over the years - especially when you have to compete with the younger kids. His biggest complaint though: the restrooms. He and his friends simply wish the porta-potties were kept up and cleaned - wouldn’t you too? It goes without saying. (Out in the fields, there are no close restaurants or stores to use a proper restroom) Once farmworkers leave their homes in the early morning to go work in the fields for the day, they won’t be able to use a clean restroom until they return home - many hours later. Our farmworkers deserve better. And I told Polo that. “You guys deserve better,” I said to him. “YOU deserve better.” “Tú deserb bettr,” he attempted in a thick Spanish accent. “Yes. TÚ mereces mejor,” I affirmed. As our Ag industry gets ready to recognize and celebrate its special day and week this month, I’d like us to recognize how vital farmworkers - my forever farmers - truly are. They are so very crucial to this vibrant and important Central Valley business sector. As many of us will recognize and appreciate our dependence on this industry for our sustenance and livelihoods, let us also appreciate our mutual reliance upon one another and our special partnership with the workers - with you tú - the farmworker. If “My Job Depends on AG,” then “My Job Depends on TÚ.”

WOMACK LECTURE

Discusses Indigenous Representation with Dr. Adrienne Keene at Fresno State By Heather Parish | heatherparish@mail.fresnostate.edu

very spring and summer music festivals spring up throughout the western United States, with young people and the young-at-heart sharing music, art, fashion, and community. There are also discussions of cultural appropriation in those communities’ expression of art and fashion as many people arrive wearing South Asian bindis, Japanese kimonos, African head wraps, Native American headdresses, and other culturally significant garments and adornments. Cultural appropriation, or the inappropriate use of meaningful items and symbols from historically disenfranchised groups where there is an imbalance of power, continues to be a polarizing issue within popular art, fashion, and design. For Dr. Adrienne Keene (Cherokee Nation), presenter of this year’s Henry Madden Library Womack Lecture, the “Hipster Headdress” often worn by participants at festivals and events is a personal and political problem. “When I, as a native person, walk into a store and see racks and racks of products featuring decontextualized ‘native’ designs,” writes Keene in the New York Times, “with no connection to their

communities that have protected and held these cultural markers for centuries, I can’t help but think of [Native] history, and wonder when we will have the power to control our own culture.” Through her writing, scholarship, and activism, Keene questions the ways Indigenous peoples are represented, asking for celebrities, large corporations, designers and everyday people to consider the ways they incorporate Native elements into their world. Keene will present “The Strange Case of the Hipster Headdress: Reclaiming Indigenous Representations” as the Henry Madden Library’s Womack Lecture on Thursday, March 26 at 7 p.m. in the Library’s Table Mountain Rancheria Room. Starting as a graduate student blogger over ten years ago (NativeAppropriations.com), Keene’s lecture will also address how Native peoples have harnessed the power of storytelling through social media to challenge cultural appropriation and stereotypical representation. “Dr. Keene’s work as a scholar and activist inspires critical thought in areas where our society needs it most,” says

Del Hornbuckle, dean of library services. “. . . where the voices of the marginalized have often been silenced. Henry Madden Library is honored to bring her voice to Fresno State — to further teach our students and our community about the importance of representation and how we can support Indigenous people in telling their own stories.” Keene holds a Ph.D. in culture, communities and education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She is an assistant professor in the American studies department at Brown University. Her studies include college access for Native American students and representations of native peoples in popular culture. The Womack Lecture is sponsored by the J. Prentice Womack fund, established by the late Rhoda Womack, in honor of her husband, who was a librarian at the Henry Madden Library from 1958 to 1970. The annual Womack lectures are focused on issues of a bibliographic nature or on social concerns, as stipulated by the family’s bequest to the Library.

Fun Facts

In Honor of Women’s History Month

1. Marie Curie, a Polish scientist, made an indelible mark on the world we live in today. Her research on radioactive substances lead to great discoveries—but tragically, they came at a dire cost. She was the first woman to be awarded a Nobel prize, discovered Radium, helped create the first-ever ambulances, and saved the lives of countless soldiers during WWII. Curie never once patented her discoveries, deciding that her findings were for the betterment of humanity, and not personal profit. 2. Kathrine Switzer became the first woman to ever run the Boston Marathon in 1967. Though other women had completed the marathon, Kathrine was the first to be a registered runner. When the organizer found out she was running the marathon, he went to terrifying lengths to stop her, attacking her and trying to rip off her bib. Her boyfriend, who was also running, managed to shove the organizer off of Switzer. It took another five years for women to be officially allowed to run in the marathon. 3. Stephanie Kwolek was an American chemist who invented Kevlar, the material used in most bulletproof vests and body armor. In 1995, she became the fourth ever woman to be inducted into

the National Inventors Hall Of Fame.

4. Amelia Earhart was the first female aviator to fly across the Atlantic ocean in 1928. She was given US Distinguished Flying Cross for this accomplishment. Earhart was quoted as saying “Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.” Tragically, she mysteriously disappeared during a flight in 1937. 5. Rani Lakshmi Bai was the Queen of Jhansi and one of the most important heroines of the first war for Indian freedom from British rule. She rebelled when the British tried to annex her territory, and met her oppressors on the battlefield on horseback, with her child strapped to her back. 6. Elisa Zamfirescu was the world’s first-ever female engineer. She graduated from the Royal Academy of Technology Berlin in 1912, after being rejected in her home country of Romania due to prevailing misogyny at the time. She worked at the Geological Institute of Romania for many years, stopping to manage a hospital for soldiers in WWI. When she retired, she became an activist for disarmament. | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

7. Sofia Ionescu was a Romanian neurosurgeon who worked in the field of neurosurgery for over 47 years, performing every single procedure known to medical science in that time. She is considered one of the first-ever female neurosurgeons in the world. 8. DMargaret Heafield was the director of software engineering for NASA’s Apollo space program. She wrote the mathematical sequence that enabled the Apollo mission to be successful. She was so good at what she did, NASA would have her double-check equations done by the computers. 9. Jeanne de Clisson was married to an English nobleman who was imprisoned and beheaded as a result of the proxy wars between England and France. Enraged by this, Jeanne sold off the Clisson estate, bought herself a ship, and began her career as a pirate in the English channel, attacking and robbing every French ship she got her hands on. As revenge, she personally beheaded every French nobleman she captured. She did this for 13 years, before retiring to remarry. | FEATURED | DINING | CALENDAR | MUSIC | CLASSIFIEDS |

OPINION

SORIA STYLE By I. smiley G. Calderón | smileygcalderon@gmail.com

resno City Councilmember Esmeralda Soria kicked off the “Roaring Twenties” with a congressional bid for the 16th congressional district seat here in the Central Valley, bringing many together in her support. Soria, a local college professor, dynamic city leader and representative for Tower District’s District One since 2014, was overwhelmingly re-elected to a second term just last year. From 2018 to 2019, she proudly served the Council as President - the first Latina to ever do so. Councilmember Soria, a Gen Xer born and raised in Tulare County, has been a beacon of hope for the Central Valley, a shining example of hard work and resilience here in Fresno. A proud daughter of farmworker immigrant parents, she attended and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, and later continued at the University of California, Davis, to earn her Juris Doctor. Soria is also a proud alumna of the HOPE Leadership Institute as well as the John F. Kennedy School of Government Executive Leadership Program at Harvard. As a city representative, she has proven herself to be a champion of the people. She has aligned herself with Fresno’s hardworking men and women for a better city. Councilmember Soria is approachable and personable with many town hall meetings throughout the year to make sure she connects well with her constituents. One of Soria’s passions is her work to mitigate the area’s homelessness crisis. Representing Fresno as a member of the Governor’s California Homeless Taskforce, Soria has worked directly with community leaders and government officials to find sustainable solutions. And she knows that housing is a big issue for residents. Over and over again, she has made this clear. “Building affordable housing is related to the homelessness issue. We need to expand the resources that we have so we can build permanent affordable housing…We know we live in a city with a lot of poverty. Wages haven’t gone up at the same rate as the cost of housing. Believe it or not, there a lot of people paying up to 70% of their income towards housing...” Councilmember Soria understands the multifaceted nature of such a systemic problem and the challenges that it presents because she listens to her constituents and understands their concerns. One of these constituents is Ms.

Edna Collins, a local community leader and founder of Yo Soy! Media, Inc., a community nonprofit organization aimed at memorializing and sharing local stories of local people in video format. Ms. Collins has a unique passion for her city that is spiritedly displayed live on cable TV every Friday afternoon. She partners with local TV show producer Anita Galiza Fernandez to produce the Yo Soy! Neighborhoods, Fresno talk show. When Ms. Collins learned about Councilmember Soria’s bid for Congress, she was eager to interview her. They met in Downtown Fresno on February 7th at the studios of the Community Media Access

And the councilwoman didn’t hesitate. “We’ve never had a woman in Congress in the entire Central Valley…from Kern County, all the way to Stanislaus to Merced Counties…we haven’t had a woman.” But she didn’t stop there. “We’ve never had a Latino in congress…It’s time…we live in the Valley…60% Latino and we’ve never had a

Collaborative (CMAC) and discussed the current Central Valley condition. “We have to have a greater vision - not only for the city of Fresno - but for the entire Central Valley,” Councilmember Soria kicked off the conversation, “I think that we have shortchanged the community residents. We haven’t done enough, we haven’t focused on the real issues in our Valley, in our City - we need change.” As a trusted city official and tested community leader, Councilmember Soria has a strong plan and vision for a better Fresno that she tirelessly works towards day in and day out. But she understands that to effect change, we all need to work together. “This is bigger and greater than just one individual,” she emphasized. “We all have a stake, and we can all be a part of something to bring change into the Valley to

Latino in congress north of the Tehachapi mountains - think about it,” she pressed, “…we’ve never had a Latino north of the LA area.” But, while honoring Women’s History is a month-long occurrence for many, it isn’t for Councilmember Soria. It’s her new approach to typical politics. “I believe that being a woman brings a different perspective,” she explained, “I believe these kinds of perspectives are valuable to the policy conversations that take place on a daily basis at every level of government.” “When I was first sworn in at City Hall, I had a young mom, a friend, who was there with her child and who needed a diaper change,” she continued, “She went to the restroom, and there were no changing tables at that time, so she had to change his

| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

diaper on the floor…who wants to change a diaper on the floor,” she exclaimed. And, as a testament to her fast-action solution-oriented approach to solving problems, Councilmember Soria described what happened next: “So what I did after she told me her experience, I partnered up with First 5 Fresno County, which had some available grant dollars, to bring changing tables to our governmental buildings. But not just for the women’s restroom, but also in the men’s restroom - because men also have kids!” Councilmember Soria is dedicated and committed to making government accessible to all people. “There are a lot of young moms in our governmental buildings that we want to encourage to breastfeed their kids. So we created a breastfeeding room so that they don’t have to go pump in the restroom.” Leading by example and trailblazing a movement of strong, progressive Central Valley women is classic Soria style. “I think it’s also important for our young women in our community to see someone like me, an example…because, you know, sometimes we feel we can’t be what we can’t see…” Councilmember Soria is a people person who values and esteems all members of our community. “My campaign is focused on uplifting working families. We have a lot of poverty in this Valley…and we can’t continue to do the same and expect different results.” As city Councilwoman, Soria has been faithfully dedicated to her constituents for years. “In the five years that I have been in office for District One, representing about 80,000 people, I’ve had 45 community meetings - both in the evenings and morning - because I want to make sure that if people can’t go to City Hall, that City Hall is coming to them,” she said with a confident smile, “That, to me, is extremely important.” “That’s how I’ve been able to solve the problems at City Hall,” Soria continues, “I take from what is expressed at these meetings and try to problem solve and bring resources to address the issues.” The city of Fresno is lucky to have Councilmember Soria advocating and fighting on its behalf. If only the entire Central Valley could be so fortunate.

TRAVIS BROOKS:

Hard Work Plays Off By Dave Fountinelle | dave@fresnoflyer.com

ravis Brooks is busy. The Central Valley native is currently part of three different music projects, teaches guitar lessons, and, most importantly, is a new dad. Any one of those things would be enough to eat up all of a person’s free time, so how does Brooks manage to pull it all off? “I honestly have no idea how I do it,” He laughs. Juggling all of these projects is no easy task, but Brooks has been doing this ever since he first picked up a guitar. For over 20 years now, he has been working to make a career out of playing music. Ask anyone who’s done it, and they’ll tell you, it’s an almost impossible task in even the most musician-friendly cities. But, for a struggling artist in the Central Valley, it’s miraculous. “It’s definitely still very much a ‘pay to play’ business here.” Brooks says. “It has certainly improved in a lot of ways, and there are a few places in Fresno and Visalia in particular that really treat local artists well and make sure we get paid fairly, but you still really have to hustle and stay busy all the time if you want to make a living playing

10 | MARCH 2020

| FRESNO FLYER |

music around here.” So that’s precisely what Brooks has been doing. Since 2014, he’s been playing with a bluegrass band, New Dustbowl, along with Nathan Swift on banjo and vocals, Chris Casarez on guitar, Suzaan Botha on violin and vocals, and Jeremy Fatica playing bass. He also plays with country artist JJ Brown. He’s got his own group, The Travis Brooks Trio. And, he even does a one-man solo set utilizing loops improvised on the spot that is truly impressive to see live. And, if you’re interested in learning how to play the guitar, or know someone who is, Brooks also fits in time to give lessons somewhere in all of that, too. He somehow manages to do all of this while handling arguably one of the toughest and most demanding jobs there is – being a stay at home daddy to an adorable little girl. “She lets me know when I’m working too much,” Brooks shares, “Sometimes I’ll be in my music room, and she’ll come in with a pillow and sit down on the floor and watch me play. But then sometimes she’s just like ‘ok Dad, that’s enough, it’s me time now,’ and she’s the boss!”

All of that hard work and dedication have paid off for Brooks. He’s built good relationships with some great local spots in Fresno, Visalia, and all over the valley. You can come see him every Wednesday at Goldstein’s Mortuary and Delicatessen – easily the best-named business in Fresno. New Dustbowl will be playing there as well on Saturday, March 7th. “Everyone at Goldstein’s is awesome, they take good care of us there. It’s one of my favorite places to play.” Brooks is also preparing for an incredible show with JJ Brown in Washington DC on May 23rd. They will be performing for over 100,000 people there at the Million Man Ride. “I’m so excited for that show, it’s really going to be such an amazing opportunity. It’s all coming out of our pockets, so I’ve been working twice as hard to cover that, but you can’t say no to playing for that many people in a place like Washington DC, right there in the middle of it all.” In addition to keeping his performance schedule full, Travis has also recorded music with New Dustbowl, which you can check out on all the streaming services. JJ Brown also has his music available to stream. And Travis is in the process of recording his solo material to make available as well. “I’m hoping to have something ready to put out by this summer,” Brooks continues, “But I don’t want to rush it. I want to

| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

make sure whatever I put out there is the best I can do.” In the meantime, Brooks plans to continue being one of the hardest-working performers in the Central Valley music scene. He’s always looking for new places to play and new fans to win over. “It’s crazy, for sure. But honestly, I don’t know what I’d do with myself if I didn’t stay busy all the time. I don’t think anyone wants to see that!” You can listen to Travis Brooks playing with New Dustbowl on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, GooglePlay, and all other streaming services. You can see him live at Goldstein’s Mortuary and Delicatessen every Wednesday night, hire him to teach you guitar or follow him for the latest information about his upcoming performance schedule and everything else he’s got going on at his Facebook page or on Instagram @ Travisbrooksmusic. --New Dustbowl - www.NewDustbowl.com Follow on Facebook @NewDustbowl JJ Brown - www.JJBrownMusic.com March 13, 5th Quarter in Visalia, 9:30 pm Follow on Facebook @JJBrownMusic Travis Brooks Solo (acoustic, bluegrass/ folk/americana) - Follow on Facebook @ TravisBrooksMusic Performs every Wednesday at Goldstein’s Mortuary and Delicatessen
