The San Marcos Arts Council starts a Sunday Matine'e

I was approached by Eldon Eller from the San Marcos Arts Council and was asked to host a Sunday matine'e Arts & Music Show. I thought, sure, I'd be happy to plus this sounds like a great idea. We're an ideal venue for the San Marcos Arts Council's Sunday Matine'e as we have a great stage area setup in the patio and we have an influx of people who will come in and out of the coffe shop all day long. It was a perfect venue because the students will get exposure, practice, scholarship money from SMCF San Marcos Community Foundation and maybe even some tips or get a lead from someone who might want to purchase their artwork. "What a great idea" I thought to myslef, "But you won't be catching me here too often on a Sunday as It was my day off and my time to spend with my son., Dylan" Well, to my delight, as I write this blog post two months into the Matine'e now and I absolutely love the Sunday Matine'e. I've been to every one excpet one and I can't wait to help promote these artists and musicians.  On Sunday Feb 27th, We had our first performer, Joanna Stryker Singer Songwriter, come and perform at Live Classical Piano at Old California Coffee House & Eatery sponsored by the SMCF San Marcos Community Foundation. Joanna Stryker is a recording artist songwriter and pianist in San Diego Ca and we were very lucky to have her demonstrate her talents for us...
