7 p.m. at Arroyo Seco Grill. Ex punk-rocker Michael Thomas Howard was born and raised amid the long winter nights and extended summer days of the Alaskan frontier — fertile ground for a songwriter. His latest album, Gasoline Dream, is a collection of poetic Americana born from life on the road. Caroline Cotter has a captivating soprano voice. Her travel inspired songs take listeners all over the world and into the depths of the human heart. No Depression calls her latest release “sweet and smooth, and downright refreshing… raising spirits with one song, calming them with another.” We’ll also hear from jazz guitarist and singer-songwriter Michael Blum on his maiden voyage to Southern California.
