Join us Tuesday August 29 at 6 p.m. as we welcome Sunya Mara to the store to read and sign "The Lightstruck (Darkening Duology #2)". SYNOPSIS: In this epic sequel and conclusion to the Darkening duology, which has been called “enchanting and wildly clever” (Ayana Gray, New York Times bestselling author of Beasts of Prey), Vesper Vale, once savior to a city plagued by cursed storms, finds herself facing an even more sinister threat when an ominous light summoned by the Great King seizes control of the city. Vesper Vale sacrificed everything to save her city from the cursed storm. After becoming a vessel of The Great Queen, Vesper awakes from a slumber three years after her life altering choice. What she finds isn’t a home freed from the terror of the storm, but one where its citizens are besieged by the even more sinister force of The Great King and his growing army of the lightstruck—once regular citizens who are now controlled by the ominous light encroaching on the city. And the people are all looking to Vesper, now revered as a goddess after her sacrifice, as their city’s only hope. To save the rings from the Great King, Vesper must contend with the obligations of being a deity to her people and the growing chasm between her and Dalca, the prince she swore never to love. Haunted by the guilt of their past choices and faced with the pressures of a city near ruin, Vesper and Dalca find themselves torn between the growing factions within the city and the royal court. But in order to save her city from the light, Vesper must face the power most outside of her control—the goddess within.

Back by popular demand! Jazzgrass is an exciting band dedicated to toe-tappin’, accessible music, honoring the traditions of bluegrass, Appalachian music, Americana and the jazz composers who have their ears attuned our rural homeland. Jazzgrass will be performing music written by Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, Pat Metheny, Dave Grusin, Barnaby Finch, Natalie McMaster, the Allman Brothers and many more. Jazzgrass was put together in 1999 by Barnaby Finch to honor the newer and more progressive side of Bluegrass music. Jazzgrass originally had Sean and Sara Watkins, who soon became very famous with Nickel Creek, and Kevin Hennessy on bass. Nickel Creek burst onto the scene, and that was the end of that lineup. In 2011, Barnaby wanted to perform this type of music again and recruited some talented locals to play. There's Don Reed on mandolin, dobro, and guitar--a famous Idyllwild virtuoso who's performed with J.J. Cale, Dick Dale, Ian Tyson, and Jackie de Shannon. Then Lily McCabe on fiddle--a talented young lady with a gorgeous tone, who plays for the Troubadours at the Ramona Festival, and with her partner, Wayne Cameron, is in a popular duo called "Swift Pony." On bass is Bill Saitta--one of the busiest musicians in the Coachella Valley, and Andy Fraga Jr. on drums--the son of piano legend Andy Fraga Sr, who is a very busy virtuoso himself. Rounding out the band is veteran ace Sean Longstreet, who has a long list of credits. Sean is an accomplished educator and is involved with the Diamond Valley Arts Council in Hemet. Pianist Barnaby Finch is the musical director, with credits ranging from George Benson, Lee Ritenour, Tom Scott, Lionel Richie, and many others. If you don't like the music, it's Barnaby's fault.
