Groove Garden 'After Dark' 3rd Year Season Opener w/ DJ DIZ, Saturday May 11th, 2013
Twenty-Thirteen has me taking on some major side projects that are totally satisfying, but leave me less free time for promoting. Due to this inconvenient fact, I've asked our Groove Garden partner Riche Boom to handle this Summer's festivities at the Garage. That said, I am delighted to be a guest at the first few events coming up soon. Below are details on the season opener, a Saturday night complete with special guest DIZ from Chicago. A heavyweight of the scene there, San Francisco and around the world, this should be a great kick-off to a beautiful summer!
