The Experience, Richmond: Pt Richmond Concert

The Experience:

Fall Out Of Summer Concert!

Pt Richmond Music is Falling out of Summer as they close out the Summer Concert season Friday, September 9 starting at 5:30 in Point Richmond with two awesome bands. Adult social beverages are available for purchase and their local Taqueria will be bringing their truck!

This free summer music series concludes with Laurie Lewis super group Hills to Hollers and Andre Thierry’s accordion soul music! Join the Pt Richmond Music community for this final concert of their 2022 season, featuring two of their very favorite performers!

5:30 – 6:30pm – Laurie Lewis & Hills to Hollers
Hills to Hollers explores the rich history and intertwined roots of the African-American and white musical traditions of the American south. With soaring harmonies, fierce percussion and blazing double fiddles, Hills to Hollers celebrates the past and the future of our profound musical heritage.

6:45 – 8:00pm – Andre Thierry
Andre Thierry is an exceptional, multi-dimensional musician with a finely honed ability to merge his accordions with musical mastery. Although born and raised in Richmond, California, Andre’s French-Kreole heritage is deeply rooted in Louisiana. The rhythmic songs drive an atmospheric blend, giving his band a powerful edge.

Local restaurants offer a wide array of cuisines, and this last concert will be indulged by the local  Taqueria’s food truck. PRM’s no host bar proceeds support the music series. Festival-style seating is available with a limited number of chairs provided.

The Experience, Richmond: Kaleidoscope Coffee Sold

The Experience:

Meet Venki, Your New Coffee Loving Owner!

Cassie has sold Kaleidoscope Coffee and thanks all of you for supporting her dream in Pt. Richmond all these years. She is happy to introduce you to Venkatesh and family, who will be the proud new owners of this cozy little coffee nook.

“I am Venkatesh [aka Venki], your regular coffee loving neighbor.  Owning an eclectic neighborhood coffee shop that brings people, coffee and culture together has been my lifetime dream. Growing up on the streets of India, one of the best times of my day used to be drinking local south Indian filter coffee at my neighborhood cafe and in my mom’s kitchen. Both places were a nexus of people interacting from all walks of life and were infused with the intoxicating aroma of freshly brewed coffee.  Coffee is the glue to make it all work!

“We, myself and my little family [wife and two little kids whom I adore] are super excited to own and run this lovely café. I would love the opportunity to sit with you and  have a kaleidoscope of conversations.”

Venki will officially start on August 25th and Cassie will be around for a few months to help him with the transition. It will be business as usual and he looks forward to starting up events in the future.

It’s Coffee Time for everyone!
