Holiday Soirée & Benefit Show feat. the Mae Powell Sextet

We're turning our favorite local haunt into a dimly-lit jazz club again this year... featuring two sets from the incredible Mae Powell Sextet, a curated menu of Ford's Gin classic cocktails, and (hopefully, thanks to you) a whole lot of donations for local youth & neighbors in need of some basic necessities. SO PLEASE JOIN US at Toot's Tavern for the Long Road Society holiday soirée! Dress up! Be prepared to drink martinis while being serenaded by six sweethearts on stage.

We are usually many miles away from the Bay Area during this time of year, but one big bonus of staying local is organizing this event and being able to give back as winter sets in. The heart of the night is an essential needs drive for our neighbors . Our hope is to gather with our friends & family, celebrate community, and gather as many resources as possible for two organizations doing important work in Contra Costa County: (food pantry & free meals 7 days a week) and (providing essentials to foster youth & our unhoused neighbors). More info on the beneficiaries below and specifics on what items to bring!

We got creative with our ticketing options to make the most of advance donations. There are three types of advanced ticket options that include a donation! Any monetary donations through this ticketing site will be donated to the beneficiaries. You can also buy an advance ticket for $5 if you show up at the door with an item for donation! Read the fine print on the ticket types for more details :) Please note that there are a small number of seats for this show that you must reserve in advance! All other tickets are standing room only.

Huge thank you to Chris Maneri and Monica Medeiros at Bricolage Press for this incredible poster! Printed with half-tone images and letterpress, limited edition hand-printed posters will be available at the show.
