The energy of this band gets the crowd on their feet dancing and ready to party!

The Hitmen have been entertaining Bay Area audiences with their wide range of favorites from ‘70s to modern hits, including many Latin songs, for over 20 years. The 7-piece band has also shared the stage with Cameo, The Ohio Players, Pete Escovedo, and members of Santana and Tower of Power.

His combination of expression, technique and musical emotion is like nothing heard before.

Jose Cabezas has not only mastered the beautiful music of the Andes, he carves his own instruments and creates his own music.

He is passionate about sharing the beautiful traditional Andean folk songs in Jose Cabezas’ Ancient Winds.

The smooth and sultry vocals of Hubert have drawn comparisons to Barry White, Lou Rawls and Otis Redding. Give a listen to the Caribbean-influenced soul of Hubert Emerson and The GroWiser Band.

Bart Bridge has quietly gathered a cult following among San Francisco Giants, 49ers, San Jose Sharks, Oakland A’s and Golden State Warriors fans. After losing almost all his inventory in the Sonoma County fires a few years ago, Luke rebuilt his business and streamlined his line. In

Using recycled scraps, Dustin Logan transforms various metals into thought provoking wall art.

He recently began placing metal sculptures inside recycled window frames from the 1890s through the 1950s. Every limited piece is handmade with its own distinctive details within the frame. All sculptures are hand-bent and welded, and they can be suspended on chains or mounted on the wall.

Linda McInnis creates ethnic figurative sculptures for interior designers and private clients. She uses collaged fiber pieces, natural elements from all over the world and shimmering beads. Linda recently

addition to sports apparel, Luke’s latest designs pay tribute to the world’s most popular cities.

Zwia Lipkin uses locallysourced pieces of upcycled, highend designer upholstery fabrics to sew soft, fabric handbags. She strives for zero waste while attempting to give new life to everything she makes. “I prefer strong colors such as purples, magentas, maroons, mustards and turquoises,” Zwia said. “I like colorful clothes and surrounding myself with colorful objects. I believe that colors can affect your mood, and that vivid colors can lift your spirit.

Through my work, I try to create happiness.”

A lonely bike on a sidewalk in Florence. A single red boat floating in Amsterdam. An enigmatic guitarist in Portugal. Photographer Jonathan Henry finds the extraordinary in simple, everyday moments. He travels the world to snap captivating photos of people, objects and beautiful places.

Elisabeth Sullivan’s imaginative, acrylic paintings can best be described as “dreamscapes.” She is inspired by the world’s creatures of the sea and land. She especially loves painting birds, butterflies and seals in peaceful, breezy beach settings. Her paintings and murals can be found in private residences and corporate collections, as well as hospitals across the country.

Mary and Bob Halpin create vibrant, custom-designed wall tiles. They also sell functional tile trivets, address tiles, memorial tiles and business signs that are enhanced with whimsical designs.

“We start with a commercial tile, paint the design on with glaze, fire it in the kiln and finish it with a copper frame,” Mary explained.

“Each piece is ready to hang with a copper hook and four felt footies.

Woodworker John Harden remembers building boats as a child to float in puddles in the Pacific Northwest. He soon moved on to cutting boards and coatracks.

He later became a carpenter who worked on custom homes, building staircases, bookcases and custom mantles.
