With The Bad Plus, acclaimed artists Chris Potter and Craig Taborn revisit the formative repertoire of Keith Jarrett’s American Quartet. The project is not simply a tribute to one of jazz’s most influential ensembles, it’s a continuation of the American Quartet’s spirit: a fearless commitment to musical dialogue, emotional depth, and boundary-pushing improvisation. Founding members Reid Anderson and Dave King, whose work with The Bad Plus helped redefine modern jazz, combine with Potter’s commanding tenor saxophone and Taborn’s brilliant piano to capture the raw, exploratory energy of the American Quartet while bringing their own distinct voices to the material.

Join us on August 9 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Mike Hess Brewing at HessFest! This exciting event is packed with music, fun, and family-friendly activities, featuring craft beer from Mike Hess Brewing, delicious food, and local vendors. We’re proud to support two incredible charities: Oncology and Kids (OAK) and Zero8Hundred. Both organizations uplift communities facing profound challenges—whether veterans who’ve served in conflict or families battling pediatric cancer. These heroes endure PTSD, physical hardships, survivor’s guilt, and tragically high suicide rates. Supporting them fuels our mission to champion kids and vets. OAK dedicates itself to transforming the lives of children and families affected by cancer. Zero8Hundred empowers transitioning veterans by pairing them 1:1 with a military-connected counselor (veteran or military spouse) to identify their unique needs and connect them to vital resources across San Diego, Riverside, Imperial, or Orange counties. Come raise a glass to making a difference! The MHB Purpose: Bringing People Together Over Great Beer Around Great Causes Buy your tickets TODAY, then grab your shades, blanket, and lawn chairs, scoop up the kids and your friendly pooch, and head beachside to Pier Plaza Park along Seacoast, just south of the Imperial Beach Fishing Pier for this super-fun, summertime event. An awesome way to enjoy summer with your friends and family! (Please no oversized umbrellas, personal sized umbrellas that affix to your chair are acceptable. We want to make sure everyone can see.) This year, enjoy an IBAC-run no-entry-fee cornhole tournament for prizes; food from FOUR food vendors plus one popcorn vendor including City Tacos, Doggos Gus, Full Belly BBQ, Bread and Cheese, and Party Pop. In addition, we will have plenty of beverages (Mike Hess Brewing beers, house-made root beer and more), and the main event: a concert featuring Jimmy's Buffet, sullvn, PHT & The Honky Tonk Nights and Morgan Leigh Band! As this event is for charity, we want to do everything we possibly can to ensure it's success. Part of this effort is comprised of having stellar digital photo and video marketing materials.
