Try to guess who’s performing at Taco Surf-Surfside on Friday, May 25th? @tetrahedroseph @nupangroove @tacosurfcantina #sunsetbeachca #surfsideca #longbeach #huntingtonbeach #orangecounty #losangeles #sealbeach #steelpan #steeldrums #paidmusicians #drums #islandmusic #worldmusic #socal #sunnyallthetime (at Taco Surf - Surf Side)

Another one from last week’s “Friend’s of the Los Angeles River Annual Clean Up 2018”. Unlike a lot of organizations in Long Beach that promote musicians to perform for free for their own personal gain, FOLAR pays their musicians to perform. I state this publicly because most of the well meaning volunteers at this event assume we are performing for free or next to nothing, as they have been conditioned to think by the city of Long Beach and it’s sponsored promoters of such practices. Not so. FOLAR understands the importance of honoring and paying musicians for their services. Thank you FOLAR! We wish they were all like you! #folar @folarorg #lbc #longbeach #longbeachcity #longbeachcitycouncil #musicmakers #bixbyknolls #wrigley #lbc #musicians #thankyou #thankyoufolar @tetrahedroseph #steeldrums #steelpan #uke #hawaiianshirts #margaritaville #paidmusicians #criticalthinking #criticalthought #losangeles #socal (at Long Beach, California)
