    The Sun Kings Acoustic Duo were great!
    Chet D.

    Had a wonderful evening recently at Rancho Nicasio for a concert on the lawn. We had purchased tickets in advance and showed up just minutes before show time. We were able to get 2 seats at a table not far from the outdoor stage where the Sun Kings Acoustic Duo performed. These two artists played and sang as if Paul McCartney and John Lennon were right in front of us. It was a wonderful evening with really great music. We could have ordered dinner and arrived early but this time we just had beverages (and a desert). I ordered their house Sangri and my wife enjoyed a glass of wine. And we shared the Churro with ice cream. We had such a good time, when we got home we purchased tickets for another concert later this summer - and we plan on going early and having their BBQ Dinner.

    A couple of us found the Rancho Nicasio restaurant on our way home and stopped in. It looks like it has been around for a long time and it has a lot of fun summer activities planned. There is a large dining area as well as a large bar. A lot of wood and a comfortable atmosphere. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs over easy and a coffee. Others in the group ordered fish and chips and fried chicken sandwiches. The fried chicken sandwich was okay, the bread had no flavor. The fish and chips were good and crisp with good flavor. The chicken fried steak was okay, not the best of flavor and a little chewy. The eggs and potatoes were very good. Unfortunately my coffee was barely warm. The staff were very friendly and the service was good. It looks like they have a lot of activities planned for the summer and we will be back to check out their BBQ's and music. Nicasio is a quaint little town.

    On a road trip, tripped on this place. Score a great place for a quick stop or hanging out to take in the picturesque setting. The Pups enjoyed the new smells. The selection of food has something for almost everyone. Would be nice to have water bowls for pups and a simple food item. We started with BAKED GARLIC ASIAGO OYSTERS half dozen $20. KALE SALAD $14. peanut cilantro dressing, red cabbage, carrots, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries: ADULT GRILLED CHEESE 18 Nicasio Valley Tomino cheese, apple chutney, tomatoes, caramelized onions All three were very Tasty.

    The Tommy Castro concert yesterday was good as usual but not everyone cared for the new 'dancing area' separating the rows of chairs that really was more of a pit or standing area than anything else... Sure hope that is isn't permanent!

    Found this place after a hike at devils gulch. If you enjoy a small town feel, this place is it. Situated next to a baseball field, apparently this place comes to life with music events and bbq. Definitely a lot of entertainment for a place seeming to be hidden. I got the fish and chips, the fish was very good, the chips were steak fries, which are my fav. The service was very good. We ended up at the bar in the front of the rest-truant and caught a little bit of a band . Definitely nice vibes and would definitely return.

    Food and service were great! Loved this little gem of a place. It's big inside with tons of rooms and a nice looking outdoor area. Looking forward to coming back soon!

    Cool place. Food was good. Beautiful outdoor space. Seating was limited unless you sit at a picnic table. Over all good place.

Now they were here in front of me, exposed. Some silenced from the weight of garbage grime. Others pristine without a scratch. I live at the turntables as I rummage through discovering what’s next. California native, S.R. cut his teeth as a songwriter in Austin, Texas. The fertile landscape of the “Live music capital” and a thriving music scene yielded a bounty of musical and life experiences like no other. Each passing season allowed provisions of a burgeoning sound to mingle with wry lyrics, energetic rhythms and memorable melodies! Creating his own style of Rock, Roll, Rhythm and Soul. It is through uplifting songs and heartfelt-inspiring performances that allow him and the characters in his songs to “break the ice” with any toe-tapping crowd. He is on duty as Bandleader for the American Rock band The Heartsleeves. His new release “A.M. Sessions” is out now and available at his live shows and on all platforms

Paul was the first person I called and just talking to him made me feel better. He is a kind and genuine person, and he accommodated us every step of the way. Even though he only had two weeks to prepare, Paul and his team absolutely killed it at our wedding! I've lost count of the number of guests who came up to us and told us that Smash City Band was the best live band they have ever seen. One of our groomsmen is a professional musician, and he could not stop raving about how phenomenal each member of Smash City was. He said this multiple times during the wedding night and then called us the next day to reiterate that point. Paul and his band not only saved our wedding, but they were also the reason why our wedding was so much fun and the best night ever for us and all of our guests. They were easily the highlight of our wedding, and they made us thankful that our original band canceled on us! I cannot recommend and praise Paul and Smash City enough!!!! Please hire them so I can crash your event and enjoy their performance again (haha jk about crashing your event! But I'm serious about you hiring them...)

    Outstanding experience at Fogel Sound Studios…read more I had an exceptional experience recording my very first audiobook at Fogel Studios. Fogel is incredibly professional, friendly, kind, and patient especially important for me since this was my first time ever recording in a professional studio. He took the time to explain the process, made me feel completely at ease, and supported me every step of the way. What truly stood out was his generosity and dedication: he even helped me on Christmas Day, despite it being his day off and a major holiday that he celebrates. That level of commitment is rare. Fogel is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of recording and audio production, and it shows in both his guidance and the quality of the final result. I felt fully supported and confident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Fogel Sound Studios to anyone looking for a top-tier recording experience; especially authors recording audiobooks. I will absolutely be working with him again for my second book.
