Coincidentally, the original name of the band that played the series last weekend was Allie and The Cats.

In accordance with the discussion of caution regarding the potential pandemic, we've cut the capacity of The El Palo Alto Room to 150 paid for these shows:
Akira Tana, March 13
Parlour Game, March 16
CJ Cheneir, March 20
Cam, April 1
Laura Veirs, April 6
Myra Melford (member of Boom Tic Boom, described above) April 17
Marcus Shelby Orchestra featuring Tiffany Austin, April 18
Wayne Horvitz Duo/ Lisa Mezzacappa 6, April 23
That 1 Guy, May 3

The point you are missing, Yoshi, is that Earthwise at Mitchell Park fairly regularly in 2019 and except for a force majeur will see 2020 performing arts groups that also play Yoshi's (for example, as Johnny A did in January), SF Jazz (where the group you describe above is playing this tour) and Freight and Salvage in Berkeley --all venues that utilized significant organizational dollars to build world class music facilities. The Mitch was not built with that purpose, but it turns out with a little hustle and luck we can at times approximate those places. And its a great use for the space.

I think the article could also expand or explain your point about being "a fixture around town and online". What are you getting at? Which might explain, why am I doing this?

Not to toot my own horn (like Dave Douglas, Tom Harrell, Melecio Magdaluyo, Ron Miles, or Vince Difiore), but there is a connection between these events, running for City Council, lobbying for the return of The Brown Bag series or marrying an arts commissioner. I'd be curious to read an educated guess about such.

When Frank Benerst was named city manager, your paper said he was a former concert promoter -- not true; I asked him about it and it turns out that he was more like our Suzanne Warren than Bill Graham or Greg Perloff or Seth Hurvitz, or Randall Kline, or Danny Scherr or Jim Nadel or the Oswald brothers who went to Cubberley, or Rick Mueller, or Jen Bilfield or Mystery Machine or Jason Colton or Bryan Perez. Or the man from East Palo Alto who just passed.

Actually this is the laziest hodge podge I've seen in a while, well below the standards of previous articles about Earthwise written by Jim Harrington, Monica Hayde, Eric Espe and in other publications.

Allison Miller and Jenny Scheinman are pound for pound (and pluck for pluck) two of the best musicians in the world --and in fact are now both mothers. They are bad mothers! Bad in the sense of good. Parlour Game is your invitation to another world, ears wide shut. F-- your father's rock and roll pneumonia and boogie-woogie flu! This band is Crichton-level scary good!

SFJazz cancelled the band’s four SF shows which led to the band cancelling the rest of the tour.

Cam is rescheduled to June 13 at Lucie Stern ballroom, lord willing and the creek don’t rise.

This post from my blog which thanks for mentioning above includes at the bottom about an hours worth of samples from recent events please enjoy the music while we try to reach your party

I woke up this morning thinking I could, after 26 years change my name from Earthwise to Ears Wide or Earswide in that "big ears" is jargon for having diverse interests in music and "wide" is a play on "big". Not that I am abandoning an interest in the environment ("green" "sustainable" et cetera) but is secondary and generally has been.
The actual reference, three comments ago and 11 days ago, was to the Kubrik film "Eyes Wide Shut" which I think is about lucid dreaming and maybe going to parties. (I said Yoshi Kato in his preview to the Parlour Game show that never happened could have been more definitive in his praise or critique of the group. I was going to say that going to our event might be like going to that party in the Tom Cruise movie. Now I would joke about Eyes Wide Shut-In.

Are we still here?
The sold out Cam show is cancelled. All ticket purchases will be refunded.
I’ve got a hold with one of my favorite acts for 1/31/21 — keep your fingers crossed, be safe, Jazz lives matter — the drummer is black, for what that’s worth. He also leads his own band which we will try to get some day.
Allison Miller and Jenny Scheinman described above are always welcome anytime the band is passing through on the same day that Mitchell Park community center is neither booked nor sheltering in place
