Monday night is usually slow at live music venues. The work week has started and not many people have the energy to party late into the night with their alarm clocks set for an early wake up. That did not stop a large group of Phish/Trey fans and curiosity seekers from checking out a show by up and coming band Moksha, who were performing with some special guests. Jennifer Hartswick, Skerik, and Peter Apfelbaum brought their horns for a special night of well crafted music at The Mint.

Los Angeles is definitely a foodie town, and there are many events throughout the year that celebrate the diverse culinary skills available in the Southland. One such event is highly anticipated for its unique combination of great chefs, excellent wine, top shelf liquor and beautiful setting. It was a sunny day in the Malibu Hills where about 2500 guests enjoyed Los Angeles Magazine’s annual Food Event at Saddlerock Ranch. The October 23rd, 2011 event featured amazing food, great wine, and fine spirits that kept the crowds happy. The picturesque setting added a magical aura to the culinary extravaganza and made it an extremely enjoyable Sunday afternoon.

Skerik brought his saxophone and fine new band to the The Mint in Los Angeles on Monday March 26, 2012. The band kept a large crowd of supportive fans entertained. The show was part of a 14-day West Coast release tour for their new debut album Live At The Royal Room which captured the band's first ever public performance.
