Raised on the beaches of Hawaii and in the Mountains of the Pacific Northwest, Aaron Blyth's music is as diverse as his background. Pulling from strong influences of Folk, Rock, Blues and Funk, this singer/songwriter blends his favorite flavors into a uniquely energetic sound.

Yonat & Her Muse

Hearing Yonat & Her Muse play their eclectic and groovy folk-soul songs will break your heart wide open. Yonat Mayer, the band's front woman, songwriter and singer has been crafting songs for over a decade and performing as a solo artist. Her songwriting is reminiscent of Norah Jones meets Feist meets Lauren Hill. In collaboration with bassist Mark Bailey and drummer John Russell, the trio is currently performing at Bay Area venues and quickly gaining popularity. They are recording their debut album and hit single "Wild Hearts" in the Oakland hills to be released soon.

Alex Jimenez

Host Alex Jimenez has been playing guitar since he was 12, but it wasn't until recently that he's been actively involved in the local music scene. His music has dark acoustic overtones, heavy on the rhythm, and influenced by bands such as Live and Alice in Chains. But you can also hear the country and folk influences in his playing, born out the love of his main instrument, the acoustic guitar. Alex is using his monthly residency at 50 Mason Social House to showcase the amazing community of songwriters here in the Bay Area, and is honored to be sharing the stage with them all.
