Two distinctly different Bay Area sounds come together for one high-energy Saturday night at Mac’s at 19 Broadway.
Headlining the night are The Happys, a Bay Area band bringing an energetic collision of alternative rock, punk and indie with a raw live-show sound. The band has shared stages with acts including Sublime, Hobo Johnson and Mad Caddies.
Joining them from Santa Cruz are Trianna Feruza & The Heavy Hitters, a four-piece neo-soul and indie-funk band built around deep grooves, R&B soul, powerful vocals and an interactive live performance. Their sound crosses funk, soul, rock and dance music, making them a natural fit for a night designed to move from gritty rock energy into groove-heavy funk.
One night. Two very different energies. Whether you come for distorted guitars, soulful vocals, funk grooves or simply want to discover two California bands in one night, this bill covers a lot of musical ground.

Join the Ross Valley Players for a captivating production of Death of a Salesman.
Arthur Miller’s award-winning play is a work of deep and revealing beauty, that remains one of the most profound achievements in American theater. Set in late 1940s Brooklyn and told through a montage of memories, dreams, and arguments of the protagonist traveling salesman Willy Loman who is despondent with his life and appears to be slipping into senility. Several tragic, soul-searching revelations – concerning his wife, his sons and his business associates – underscore how his quest for the “American Dream” kept him blind to the people who truly loved him.
