About the Event
Ideateam is an evolving cast of Sacramento-based musicians who collectively collaborate to refine their craft through their distinct original compositions, along with an array of both vintage and modern cover arrangements. The band's live sets are known for flowing in and around a winding fusion of grooves while leaning on a foundation of experimental Funk, Soul, and R&B sounds.
Expecting the funk in its purest primordial form: A confluence of tight, technical tunes dripping with that amalgam of mud and forest floor, where spores rise of their own accord and you have no choice but to sit and sully your blue-and-white dress to consider the mushroom, to heed the nearby placard reading: “Eat me.”
– Dave Kempa, Sacramento News & Review

This is the Artist reception for the August Art Show. Multi Media, Jewelry and Ceramics by Joan Arazabalaga, Norm Lamont and John Molezzo

A shipwreck throws lives into disarray, where mistaken identities lead to hilarious havoc and unexpected connections. Viola, stranded and disguised as a boy, falls for the Duke, who pines for Olivia. However, Olivia, in mourning, finds herself smitten with Viola, setting off a comical chain of romantic entanglements. This delightful gem brims with wit, wordplay and whimsy to tell a timeless tale of love, loss and the joyous absurdity of life.

About the Event
In a scene so often dominated by technology and gimmicks, Reno, Nevada's arizona jones prefers to do it the old fashioned way – live and personal.
And when they put their rockin' spin on classic R&B hits from the 60's and 70's, you never know who'll be singing louder, the audience or the band. Expect the greatest grooves from legends like Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and Diana Ross to carry you deep into the night.
Don't forget your dancing shoes! Free and open to everyone!
