Come on Down

Fellow Bay-Areans (I know this can't be the correct collective title for us, but it sounds intriguing, no?). This shout out is brought to you on behalf of my pal Marc and his band Madera Road, which will be playing a cheap ($5 for three bands) show on Friday to benefit Sixth Street Books and Cafe. Sixth Street Books is taking a chance on a not-so-glam neighborhood South of Market in San Francisco, and is having a tough time keeping the business afloat. Your admission costs, plus any books you bring to donate, go directly to the store.

Madera Road is a witty and talented little alt-country outfit well worth the 5 smackers on their own. The band is named for a thoroughfare in Marc's and my hometown; you may have heard mention of it in the news as part of the procession route carrying a certain deceased presidential-type to his library.
