"Born in Oakland, CA, in spring 1966, Raphael Saadiq (born Raphael Wiggins) started playing music at age six. He played bass at church and school and enjoyed his place on-stage at various local hometown events. After high school, Saadiq won a chance to join Prince and Sheila E. on the Parade tour. Such an experience inspired Saadiq to do his own thing..."

In March, the JCCSF hosts the Other Minds Festival of New Music, an annual gathering of the most innovative composers and performers from around the world. Covering the full spectrum of the international contemporary music scene, Other Minds 14 features distinguished artists alongside emerging and unknown talents.

"I write mostly on piano and I'm a girl, so lots of people say it's Norah Jones, or Fiona Apple. That's fine. I love Norah's subtlety and Fiona's fierce lyrical prowess. But I also have an affinity for the playful and intelligent-pop of people like Elton John and Ben Folds..."

"After a six-year stint with the trio Rodriguez, M. Ward began sketching out songs deeply rooted in the classic traditions of American country-folk. Rodriguez's home was in San Luis Obispo, CA, and they eventually recorded Swing Like a Metronome with Granddaddy's Jason Lytle..."

Audrey Roy and Matt Reynoso investigate the deeper sides of two of our favorite fruits...Apples and Oranges! Reynoso's rustic carved relief mixed media explores the iconic apple in sculptural and 2-dimensional forms and Roy's playful graphic oranges can be found in every imaginable situation...

"The Opulent Temple has evolved into the premiere sound camp at the annual Burning Man festival. Having built a reputation for the home made grand production they've built themselves, featuring a flame throwing DJ booth and other impressive creations, they are hoping to return to the playa in 2009. (All sound camps like Opulent Temple are self funded and..."

"The label's confidence was emboldened by an initial roster of forward-thinking acts like instrumental hip-hop prodigy Dabrye, electronic beatsmith Matthew Dear, electronic/indie rock pioneers Midwest Product and a musical firebrand Dykehouse, approximating a minimal-yet-rich sonic template that married cold funk to mutant pop music, culminating in a palettable and perplexing array of sonics..."

Get ready to grow "Green...with Envy" at the 57th Pacific Orchid Exposition, March 5-8 in San Francisco. This year's theme will focus on "green" aspects of horticulture, and there will be educational exhibits explaining the importance of habitat preservation...

Grab your grogger and practice your hissing, it's time for Purim. This year The Hub presents Slavic Soul Party! a fiery Balkan brass band with hip-grinding American grooves.

Free drink tickets for the first 100 guests.

"Through three albums made in a Brooklyn home studio and, more recently (2005), through a collaboration with Young God labelmate Angels of Light, Akron/Family has earned itself a madcap reputation: songs that start in a Beatles-inspired place inevitably erupt into skronk before settling into country sweetness, and folk-raised spirituals dart through Led Zeppelin territory, with '60s rock and general psychedelia also major themes..."

"South Africa's version of TV on the Radio comes to SF for the first time! Sure to be huge soon! "Now and then it's easy to guess that Blk Jks, from Johannesburg, are an African band on their four-song Mystery EP. That's when they go bounding into three-chord South African township grooves in "Lakeside" or overlay the reggae foundation of "Summertime" with syncopated guitars..."
