Here are more snapshots of recent performances, taken as we find an opportunity. These smaller shots link to denser, uncropped originals.

Singer-songwriters Matt Jaffe and Kurt Huget (shown next) joined us for our Bread & Roses 50th Anniversary tribute on September 14.

Bread & Roses has been bringing music to people in institutional settings since its founding by the late Mimi Fariña.

Dave Perron, Bread & Roses director, was on hand to provide context.

San Miguel Fraser, the duo of María San Miguel and Galen Fraser, shared their music joining Castillian and Scottish notes on September 7.

The local Cajun band Sauce Piquante led off our SF Free Folk Festival Preview on July 6. Sauce Piquante members are Jim Ruth, Blair Kirkpatrick, Steve Tabak, and Kathy Price.

The duo of maritime singers Peter Kasin and Richard Adrianowicz followed.

The partly Neil Young tribute band Sugar Mountain closed out our preview. They are Paul Kotapish, Joe Cadora, and Bethany Sorkey.

Erica and Friends (or as it happened, Friends of Erica, in Erica Hockett’s absence) led off our On-Air Folk Festival for the year on June 22. The Friends are, from left to right, Charlie Hancock, Jason Courtney, Tom Lindemuth, Chris Hammond, and Anne Bingham Goess.

Diana Gameros, local singer with Mexican roots, came next.
