Sutter Creek, Ca...In a dazzling summer garden setting, fit for a wedding, AmadorArts is planning a fundraising Home Concert on Saturday evening September 13. Jazz and pop music by Herb Boxhorn and Klaudia Promessi will be the focal point of the intimate event where only 80 guests will be seated around the spacious, shaded landscaped grounds of the Sutter Creek home of Diane Olsen and Stan Redkey. Complimentary “hefty” appetizers, catered by the Mother Lode Deli, and an affordable no-host Amador wine bar will complete the pleasures of the evening. Herb Boxhorn, guitarist and vocalist, brings his own unique styles combining his background of folk, blues, finger-picking, Jazz and Latin into an eclectic mix truly his own. Performing regionally for over 35 years, Herb puts his signature on many Jazz standards and contemporary tunes. Enriching the sound of this duo is Klaudia Promessi on saxophone and flutes. Promessi has toured and performed in Bay Area bands playing Latin Jazz, R and B, Soul and original music. She has composed and arranged music for films. They are both talented improvisers making each of their concerts a unique experience, especially when experienced in a beautiful garden setting like this one, enhanced by good food, wine, and friendship....

Plymouth, CA....They are starting to gain some ground on the Sand Fire. Containment has jumped to 35% and the acreage has dropped a bit as they complete better mapping and there is usually a bit of shrinkage as they put water on the fire. Great work everyone!!
