Music at the Market: Every Sunday Something New

Parisian Michel Saga and Dmitrius Spartos

Grove Street: Right Bank or Left Bank?

Support the Musicians

Great produce and local foods, best use of public space in NOPA, warm, friendly service, and free live music. It must be Sunday at the Divisadero Farmers' Market. Sample the autumn vegetables, visit the new vendors, say hello to Dmitrius Spartos the manager, and take some time for these upcoming performers:

G Randall Wright Nov. 29 Musician, actor, poet, director, model, acrobat. Listen to his music here and be sure to stop by Sunday.

Dennis Campagna Dec. 6 (sorry can't find a listing online); don't let that stop you.

Monkey Banana Band Dec. 13 (return engagement) here's a chance for more fun with this zany, talented, cool band. Take a look and listen.

Monkey Banana Band Plays NOPA @ Farmers Market

As if fresh, locally grown produce and artisanal foods weren't enough reason for a stroll or bike ride to NOPA's own farmers market, this last Sunday shoppers, browsers, and tasters were treated to the MONKEY BANANA BAND. They're fun and nutritious too.

Monkey Banana often plays at the Ferry Building farmers market on Saturdays, according to Alec Jones-Trujillo who appeared to be eating a banana during the break. (Alec plays the saxophone in the pic). We're sure they enjoyed the NOPA market more.

Alec takes comedy to another level as part of the three-man We Are Nudes comedy troupe. They're appearing at Climate Theater during this year's San Francisco Fringe Festival now underway. Have to move fast to catch them though; the last performance is set for Sept. 19th. See: wearenudescomedy.com.

Thanks to market manager, Dmitrius Spartos, for the live performances and making Grove Street even more livable. Coming Sept. 27 at the Divis Market: A celebration of Johnny Appleseed Day with an honest-and-tasty homemade apple pie contest. And the performer that day will have the neighborhood buzzing! More on BIKE NOPA next week.
