Sunday Brunch and New Orleans Jazz Trios only at Books & Records Bar! Jon Garner is a gigger, studio musician, and perpetual student. He holds a Bachelor of Music Degree from University of Massachusetts - Amherst, and a Master of Music Degree from San Diego State University. He has performed thousands of gigs all across the United States, but primarily slowly crawls the freeways of Southern California on the way to the next performance. He has performed in every kind of band - from classical to jazz, blue grass to punk. Jon has studied privately with the great guitar masters, Yusef Lateef, Sephane Wrembel, and Gonzalo Bergara, and was lucky enough to glean insights from both Joe Pass and Jim Hall personally. Their wisdom planted the seeds that would become the G Way, use a little to get a lot, simplify. Jon has been teaching for 20 years. Many of his students have become professional musicians themselves, but he teaches beginners and experts alike. He teaches in his private studio, at Palomar College, San Diego School of the Creative and Performing Arts, and online. So far, knock on wood, all of his students have passed their auditions, due to their hard work and Jon's no-nonsense approach to playing guitar.

The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library and Murals of La Jolla present Michael Mercil as he gives attendees an inside look on his career, process, recent projects, and 2023 mural ART IS GOOD FOR YOU, commissioned by Murals of La Jolla. The Ohio-based artist explores the realms of “the near, the low, the common” and incorporates an expansive number of mediums (drawing, painting, needlepoint, sculpture, landscape architecture, film, performance, teaching, and farming) in his art. Painted directly on-site, with a complementary color palette that pops, the text becomes a lively imperative to embrace art as a crucial and ubiquitous aspect of daily life. Mercil received a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and an MFA from the University of Chicago. His work has been featured in many prominent institutions, including The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia; the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts; The Living Culture Initiative in collaboration with Ann Hamilton at OSU; The Beanfield, The Virtual Pasture, and Site set-aside projects at Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus; and the Art Market™, an ongoing, Columbus-based studio project. Mercil’s talk begins at 6:30 p.m. and is preceded by at reception at 6 p.m. Stay Updated with Athenaeum Music & Arts Library! Facebook | Instagram | X
