French Oak Gypsy Band, Tapas, Wine, and Aperitifs!

Powicana Farm and Sonoma Aperitif invite you to a memorable evening of nostalgic French gypsy music with the French Oak Gypsy Band. Tapas and a glass or wine or aperitif included in the ticket's price. Powicana Farm grows hand-crafted natural wines from their own sustainably-farmed organic vineyards. We follow the French tradition of bringing out the most distinctive qualities in a wine, expressed through the match of varietal and terroir. Each year, our role is to help the wine reveals its personality by applying traditional techniques with minimal interventions to craft natural wines. Sonoma Aperitifs crafts French-style aperitifs in a centuries-old winemaking tradition common to many parts of rural France, Italy, and Spain. Known in France as "Vin Maison," they are created in home kitchens from family recipes handed down over generations. An aperitif is is served before dinner, like a cocktail or a glass of wine. It can be either bitter or sweet or both, as well as herbal, fruity, or flowery. The art of the aperitif is balancing these flavors. French Oak Gypsy Band gives a fresh spin on French and American Swing Era classics. With repertoire derived greatly from French Chanson, Gypsy Jazz, Dixieland Jazz, they also play with Traditional World Folk music, and Modern tunes from around the world. North Bay Native and vocalist, Stella Heath, and French/American guitar player, Gabriel Pirard, lead this group of gypsies in their undeniable fun performances. Reed player, James Inciardi, rounds out the group. With their French-inspired sound, spotlighting Heaths magnetic vocals and the bands tight rhythms they'll transport you straight into the bygone era of swing .
