Saturday, June 20, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. In this 3-hour workshop, you will learn all about sourdough, and how to make your first loaf of sourdough bread with organic flour and local sourdough starter.

We’ll show you how easy it is to start making naturally-leavened bread yourself at home! We’ll have a variety of sourdough bread flavors and will bake bread fresh during the workshop. And you’ll do it yourself by rolling up your sleeves and making your very own dough (to be baked the next day!). Includes your own sourdough starter and take-home loaf of sourdough bread!

This is also optional, as we can put them in baggies, but if we can use less plastic, yay us!!

On Friday, May 15 at 1p.m., San Diego Music Award nominee Mark Montijo will be at the Coronado Public Library sharing a performance inspired by the breadth of his experiences. He’ll be joined by multi-instrumentalist Lenny Bole, a longtime banjo player and skilled dobro and lap steel musician. As San Diego Troubadour writes, “Montijo’s voice breaks and falters unapologetically, delivering the weight of each moment with raw sincerity… lyrics… meticulously crafted—perfectly hewn… this feels like home.” This event is free to attend thanks to the support of the Friends of the Coronado Public Library and City of Coronado. Seating is first come, first served and doors open at 12:45 p.m. Learn more at cplevents.org. After decades away from the spotlight, singer-songwriter Mark Montijo has returned with a quiet confidence that reflects both experience and restraint. First emerging in the 1960s club and festival scene, Montijo built his sound alongside a circle of musicians—some of whom would go on to national recognition—before stepping away from music entirely in the late 1970s to pursue business and political work. Encouraged by longtime friends and fans, Montijo recently reentered the studio, releasing a series of albums that have earned critical attention. His debut return, History, drew praise from American Songwriter, while subsequent releases have garnered songwriting awards and San Diego Music Award nominations. His latest work, Apricot Moon, continues that momentum with a nomination for Best Folk or Americana Song. Joining him is multi-instrumentalist Lenny Bole, a seasoned banjo player whose talents extend to dobro, lap steel, and Weissenborn guitar. A former member of the touring band Montezuma’s Revenge, Bole spent years as a teacher before returning to music in retirement. Today, he performs regularly with local groups, including the bluegrass band Stay Tuned, and remains a sought-after collaborator

Juan Murube will be accompanied by the amazing guitarist Juan Moro, and the incredible Alexandra Rozo will make a special guest artist flamenco dance appearance. This recital – "Cante Pa’lante" – is showcasing a wide range of flamenco song forms. While not as well-known in the US, flamenco singing – cante flamenco – is the most important aspect of flamenco. When performing with dancers, singers provide support by singing pa’tras – ‘from behind’. However, cante Flamenco is best showcased pa’lante – ‘in front’. This is how it is presented in major Spanish flamenco festivals. This recital – "Cante Pa’lante" – is in this tradition, showcasing a wide range of flamenco song forms. It is an opportunity to experience authentic cante flamenco in its entirety. Juan Murube has travelled across multiple continents participating in numerous flamenco projects, and while his preference is traditional flamenco (cante jondo), he also enjoys expressing his art with freedom. His creations and performances bring a particularly rich dimension to flamenco. Murube's latest album "Cambiático" is available now on all streaming platforms. With his powerful, soulful voice, Murube will transport you straight to the heart of Spain, delivering a performance filled with beauty, fire, and tradition. ActNowLive on Facebook / Instagram
