"Few are writing songs like Jackson Emmer." - Rolling Stone Jackson Emmer is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from Carbondale, Colorado. His work blends humor with heartache, and tradition with exploration. Emmer's writing is often compared to that of John Prine and Guy Clark. He has toured the US since 2009, collaborated with Grammy-winners, and co-written 40+ songs with folk music legend, Tom Paxton. Emmer has opened for Robert Earl Keen, Sierra Ferrell, and Tim McGraw. His work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Billboard, 1200+ Spotify playlists, and 200+ radio stations worldwide. McCoy Tyler is a fine local singer-songwriter and expert guitarist. He has played solo in our series in the past, and sits in with such bands as The Coffis Brothers. In this show he will accompany Jackson, and take a few leads. https://www.jacksonemmer.com

Bonny June & Bonfire
Halloween Show
Saturday, October 28th, 7:30pm; General Admission $30, Gold Circle $40
Masks are welcome. The bar & café will be open.
AT KUUMBWA
Kuumbwa Jazz Center 320-2 Cedar Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060
Buy tickets here

Bonny June & Bonfire, a trio since 2012, have been coined by fans as “Americana meets Vaudeville” due to their theatrical and dramedic style. You may have heard their tunes Ride, Courage, Ride, and Dontcha Tell the Preacher, and Devil in Bed on KPIG radio. Bonny’s original songs tell wild and beautiful stories, brought to life with stellar harmonies and performances by guitarist Ken Kraft (White Album Ensemble) and bassist Craig Owens (Lacy J. Dalton) of Snail band fame. An evening with Bonfire is sure to delight the listener with catchy music featuring villains & heroines, lovers & legends.

Once a year, these singer-songwriters transform under the full moon into their alter-egos; Countess June, Count Kraftula and Batman Owens! Performing in full vampire regalia, they go batty, bringing out songs of the witching season including the haunting Annabel Lee, the retro You Can Be A Zombie Too and the brand-new Dracula’s Daughter.

Joined by their favorite demon, Devil Maycare (Cheryl Henson), they will be back on the Kuumbwa Jazz stage for more hilarious All Hallows Eve shenanigans and spooky songs for a super-fun Halloween weekend celebration, which also just happens to be, appropriately, the Full Hunter’s Moon! Yum….

Come in costume and join in the costume contest, or come as yourself, all are welcome on this night of festivities https://bonnyjunetunes.com/
