The 33 1/3 showcase is homage to the local musicians that live within the 33 1/3 mile radius; this showcase is hosted by HopMonk Tavern in Novato and happens the 1st & 3rd Thursday of each month.  The Bands and performers featured are chosen from within a local radius of 33 1/3 miles.  This showcase is both standing and seated, but the seats are limited. Food orders are happily taken at the bar.

Featured Performers:
7:30pm - TYLER ALLEN -
 A solo singer and songwriter from Petaluma, CA; Tyler Allen has a strong voice and an effective guitar style to match.  We first heard Tyler perform at the HopMonk Open Mic, where his well-written songs touched listeners and reminded us of John Hiatt meets David Gray.  He's going to kick off our night of local music!

8:00pm - BEDROCK RADIO -
 Bedrock Radio is a new group from the San Francisco Bay Area that showcases its own original blend of swampy blues rock ‘n’ roll. Bedrock Radio features Josh Monfredini and Brad Bryant on guitars, Michael Perez on drums, and Dan Stanton on bass. These guys have done their homework and paid some serious dues : Brad has been studying at the University of Ron Thompson and hails from the famous SF band The Flamin' Groovies;  Josh and Mike have been performing in a variety of bands in the Bay Area music scene for years, in fact Mike actually made a decent living out of music back in the 20th century with the Violet Fox Band! Dan comes steeped in the blues from Florida, and has been schooled in all things bass by Steve Bailey and Gary Willis. Together this band brings a wide variety of influences together in a certifiably funky way. Tune in, turn on, and turn up Bedrock Radio!

9:30pm - MARKET FARMERS BAND - 
The Market Farmers Band is a new 4 piece group of well- seasoned players.  Tony Lander on keys, harp, accordion, and vocals was a pro music teacher in LA before moving to northern California.  David Russ on bass and vocals has played in everything from reggae bands to orchestras.  James Coltharp, originally from Mississippi, on guitar and vocals has played with numerous local bands for years.  Carl Assmus on drums has played all over the country at one time or another. Together they play an extremely varied assortment of songs; good dance music, some originals, but mostly great covers that you may not have heard in a while.  The Market Farmers Band are 100% pesticide free and local!

All ticketed shows are standing-room only with limited seating, unless otherwise designated.
