DJ Felina will provide equatorial beats before and after the performances.

Producer, keyboardist and sound experimenter Money Mark makes funky, retro-flavored riffs. His infectious melodies, often recorded on vintage equipment, have played key roles in collaborations with artists as such as Jack Johnson, Beck, Yoko Ono, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the Beastie Boys. Mark continues to produce, remix, compose for film, collaborate and co-write with many diverse artists. Money Mark will be joined by percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, who has played with the Beastie Boys, Offspring, Ozomatli, Blackalicious, Tito & Tarantula and Morningwood. Primary Structures is SF locals Jason Byers, Brian Caraway, Matt Stromberg and Kyle Williams. Primary Structures is swamp rock legend John Fogerty's neo-folk / pop reincarnate. Named the city's "Best Mood
Setter" by 7x7 Magazine, DJ Felina's lush sound centers around music from and inspired by the equatorial diaspora.
