Here they are, nine necessary know-abouts for the week ahead. It’s the election-hangover B9:
- One of Santa Cruz’s finest literary voices, poet and printer Gary Young, shares the stage with Pushcart winner Elizabeth Robinson at The Hive Live! at Bookshop.
- The San Diego power trio known as Earthless doesn’t do cute. It’s brawny, trippy, bluesy guitar rock at its finest.
- She’s got a big voice and a big presence. Kandace Springs daringly explores that territory somewhere between jazz and soul.
- Hoops! Your Santa Cruz Warriors open their 2024-25 season with back-to-back games at the K-P against the Valley Suns. Sea Dubs Fever: Catch it!
- Or, for the alternative sports experience, the skaters of Santa Cruz Roller Derby are back at it at the Civic.
- The latest from Santa Cruz’s New Music Works explores the many dimensions of the trio, which makes sense since it’s called “Three’s Company.”
- The latest example of the “Life is Better in Santa Cruz” gift package is “Bites & Brews” at the Boardwalk, featuring pairings of food and craft beers.
- New era opens at the Colligan Theater at the Tannery when All About Theatre presents “The Little Mermaid.”
- If you like your singer-songwriter types a bit on the eccentric side, you gotta get a load of Will Wood, a pianist and performer who dumps music, monologue and stand-up into a blender and pushes puree.
