The Grand Opening Concert (6–8pm) is presented by Delphi XM SkyFi and is free to everyone. The concert will illustrate the diversity of music that can be found on the XM Satellite dial. Stop in and enjoy some of the West Coast's most eclectic acts:
The Josh Jones Trio, a Latin jazz ensemble will kick off the evening. Jones' music is conga-driven and flavored with the caliente spirit of your favorite island paradise. Music like this can be found on XM Channel 75, Luna.
Free Peoples is a Bay Area–based band whose playing fuses bluegrass, folk, and jazz. The members come from various projects, most notably Billy Kreutzmann's TriChromes, Buzz, Top Four Flights, and Soulstice. Music in this genre can be found on XM Channel 14, Bluegrass Junction.
Melora Hardin will finish the evening. She's an explosive performer who harks back to the torch singers of the '30s and '40s. More music from that era can be found on XM Channel 73, Frank's Place.
